Will, or anyone, do you have any details on this storm from KU-NESIS? Looks like that would have been an awesome storm out this way. Although it looks like it might have been a couple of storms?

Yeah I got something signed by him when i was a kid.

Man, the hype from that storm was unreal...although srn NH had spots that got almost 3'.

Almost 3 feet???? How about 40 in Nottingham?

ROCKINGHAM...

40 INCHES ... NOTTINGHAM

34 INCHES ... HAMPTON /NH DOT/

28 INCHES ... PORTSMOUTH /PEASE TRADEPORT/

24 INCHES ... SALEM

23 INCHES ... DERRY

17 INCHES ... HAMPTON /SPOTTER/http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/extremes/2001/march/mar5-7_2001_snow.txt

2/25 was not an elevation event in Central VT....Middlebury got 20" at the bottom of the Champlain Valley. We had a nice slug of moisture moving due north with that coastal low forming, classic signal for the CPV to get blasted. We barely stayed all snow though.

I think interior NNE is favored with the -QBO/Nina. I'm really liking where I'm sitting though Rindge probably isn't the best place for 20"+ events since it's fairly far from the coast.

?????????????

Look what Rindge got in Feb 2001 noreaster

Wow that was a pretty good winter... kinda like last winter.... 3 large storms accompanied by some smaller events in about a month and half.

What about that Christmas monster a couple weeks before??? Pretty good stretch there..

Here's a snapshot. Will probably has a couple gigs of ice storm 2008 porn saved

I was actually in costa rica, so I didn't experience the storm.

Can anyone post a radar loop of the ice storm in 08?

I'm reading the old Jan 10-11, 2009 thread now. Pretty funny stuff.

Imagine if there was a board for 1993, 1978, heck even 1888

Wiz is inventing lightbulbs before the storm hits.

Kevin has to wake up by the sound of chickens in the morning.

will just got done writing for the boston newspaper with the Boston Braves playing the Brooklyn dodgers at the polo grounds

Vim Toot is a game trapper and still is fighting in the Native American war

SkiMrg is skiiing on trunks of trees while using branches as poles

Kevin came back with Typhoid, hes dead before the storm.

The question I answered was the last time that all 4 stations failed to get an 8" event.

'99-'00 was a miserable season and seems to fly under the radar when we talk about putrid winters. Just god-awful that winter was.

I like coming into a winter knowing there is at least a chance of an 1888 or 1993 type storm.

Probably '99-'00. I think before that it was '88-'89.

oh wow... Hopefully we can get a ----NAO this year

Scott... Pertaining to every year... does at least one major station in SNE see a 8+ snowstorm? 12+? Whens the last year where a major station in SNE failed to record at least an 8+ snow storm?

Since most of us are in here... in a short summary what kind of winter are we expecting this year? Will we have a neg NAO like this year?

I can't believe the winter was so good last year and it lasted only like from Christmas to late January. Other than some minor events in Feb.

Jan 12 was probably the most perfect winter storm in New England since I've been following

Actually, it's kind of mixed emotions. I'm glad it wasn't 3 blocks closer, but at the same time, I feel bad for those involved. Hearing all the stories is incredibly saddening as is seeing the destruction of places you have known all your life. It's amazing to see the power of mother nature but it's extremely sad to consider that some people lost all they had, and some people lost loved ones. The sheer terror that people must have experienced as they heard windows breaking, wood splintering, and having their houses collapse around them.The stories are just terrible to hear. There are children that they can't identify in other hospitals around the area. There was a 4 year old whose parents were killed and they didn't know who she was. The story of an elderly lady found dead in her closet still clutching her bible. I'm sure you heard it was graduation night for Joplin High Schoolers and many were just starting their lives. I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of Will Norton. The recent graduate was on his way home with his dad and was sucked or thrown out the sunroof of his dad's car, he was found in a pond.

I also just saw the story of a mother that was killed when she was going to pick up pizza for her son's graduation party. They had found her car which had been damaged, the roof and seat headrest were missing, the seat belt was still buckled and there was a shoe on the dashboard. They didn't find their mom in the car, but they got a call last night that said she had been found.

I mean, could you imagine that? Could you imagine being so happy because you just graduated and then having that all ripped away in a couple of minutes? I don't think I can.... I can't really imagine that.

I almost wish all humans were weather freaks like us. Several lives could have been saved if they really knew what was going on. What supercells look like. That know how to read a radar. They mentioned it on TV, great. People arent watching tv all day.

I think they should make it mandatory that people build storm shelters in all towns that are regularly affected. Or if you don't have one. You better start building one.

Right they have to check the building construction too. That's what led to the controversy over the Worcester tornado in 1953 (I started a thread on it in the NE subforum). If the building codes are in question, then what looks like F5 damage might not necessarily be. Healthy trees being snapped off fairly relatively low on the trunk tends to be a good indicator too.

I'm in engineering and for New England we design for 90 MPH winds in MASS, VT, AND NH( EXCEPT MOUNTIAINS)..... ORH is in the 90 MPH range in which engineers design for.

If I cared all that much about money, I wouldn't have gone into meteorology in the first place, I'm much more motivated by advancing the science or improving the lives of the population as a whole.

well you can't live off of 35K a year and support a family.

Engineering... Engineering... Engineering...

Everything else is pretty much toilet paper degree unless you get a masters.

Graduated last year in engineering making 60K a year straight outta the gate
