  1. Wow. Could see something coming on radar but it came together fast.
  2. Saw several nymphs this evening here in West Windsor NJ. Get ready.
  3. Cicadas are emerging here in W. Windsor. Saw a few today. Still in the nymph stage, however.
  4. They are already emerging here in W. Windsor. Saw a few today, for the first time. Enjoy.
  5. Much the same here. No lightning. Some rain - sounded good. Waiting for the cicadas to emerge.
  6. Great table, Unc. Love how far back it goes. This is another good way to spot the "good" winters. Already discussed: Wonder if NYC will see a below-freezing morning in April, as we had one on November as well. Maybe this week?
  7. It came through roaring like an express train, but was relatively brief. At West Windsor, NJ.
  8. Big flakes not necessarily bad, of course. Was an 11 yr old in Dec 1947 in Jersey City. Big flakes all day gave us over 2 feet of good stuff.
  9. The big flakes are here in W Windsor NJ, after about 90 min of good snowfall.
  10. Thank you for that. I knew for sure that it exceeded a foot. Probably the low amount in Groton is related to the storm track and mixing that did not occur elsewhere? Norwich is probably a bit more elevated. (ed. nope) Nice data. Everyone loves surprises.
  11. Feb 10 1969. I was in New Haven CT that year. Was elated to wake up to that storm, when I was expecting the usual snow-to-rain business. Anyone know how much snow fell in New Haven? Temps were around 30, if I remember correctly.
  12. Tex would be in his glory tomorrow, explaining what was about to take place - a nice snowstorm. I remember waiting up for him when I was a kid in the 50's. He was the best.
  13. After hours of sleet, a few flakes are finally appearing here in W Windsor.
  14. ...From the day before, during the period of drizzle or sleet.
  15. Sorry we missed the 10th anniversary. 1/26/2011. This is the morning after, in West Windsor, near Princeton NJ. From my deck. I love storms of this type, with a bit of wet sleet or drizzle before the finale, followed by wind, thunder and heavy snow. Too bad it happened mostly after dark. My favorite since 2003.
  16. Was in CA for many years, and am overjoyed that they are getting decent rain at least for now. There's nothing like a California Spring after a good wet season. Been dry too long out there.
  17. I was across the Atlantic that one winter, and boy was I jealous to hear about all that good stuff happening. Snow, of course, but even the cold made me jealous. Of course, at 84, I'll take the snow now, but with less cold, thanks. Thanks, Uncle.
  18. This was the first "real" snow event I encountered after moving back East after 31 years in CA. http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2004/15-Jan-04.html I landed in EWR a day after the December 2003 storm.
  19. A healthy peal of thunder a few minutes ago. Radar shows lots of convection moving N through Central NJ.
  20. When my old eyes first read this, I saw a "your" for the "you". Happy new Year all.
  21. Thanks, Uncle, for the memories. Nice video! BTW, I was in N Jersey and traveled into Jersey City on Christmas eve, so I never knew that there was rain. In any event, I hope that our snows are ash-free.
  22. Thanks, Uncle, for those always amazing data. 1966 may be my own favorite, even though it was largely sleet. A lot more snow farther west, if I remember the NESIS map. It also had Thunder snow, or Thunder sleet. That;s always a plus. 1961 has good memories too. A more gentle and fluffy storm. Here's to another White Christmas, at long last. We're due for one now. I'll settle for a 1961 style one.
