  1. Poor uncle Leo with that scarlet letter. Maybe it's time to remove it? He seems harmless, i kinda feel bad
  2. Lets see if we can get 10 weenie reactions to that snow88 post, break some records
  3. I'm so bored im reading old threads from the 2011-2012 winter season. That oct storm was incredible, sad i missed it. The thread about wiping out the NWS and all weather moving to the private sector was also hilarious. Lots of threads for storms that never panned out like Feb 19th 2012 and something in late Apr?
  4. oh i thought those were 2 different users
  5. A "C" is a realistic grade for down here with barely over 6" of snow and no solid single to event to account for. C is average. This Dec is average.
  6. The grade for this winter is continuing to drop. Going down to a C now
  7. Fantasy storm for us SSSNE folk. Since 2000-2001 and 2010-2011 were amazing i thought it would be appropriate to include this in the 2030-2031 season. Enjoy
  8. dumb thread. happens almost every single season unless there is overwhelming signals for cold and snow. Look at 2014-2015 everyone was cancelling winter and it went on much later than this.
  9. PDII was awesome for the whole area, missed that one. I can do it. SE MA Taunton, got two big ones back to back, Feb 7-8th and PDII
  10. Blizzard of 2003? Oh right the quick burst of moderate snow during the evening that dropped 5" and a huge slot that never filled back in and produced an additional 1-2" over 24 hrs. I remember that.... But just for you ill do it. I can't do 1996 because there are no PNS products for that storm. Unless you can find some i cant really do a map. I can def do 2006 thatll come soon.
  11. Next up will probably be Dec 30th 2000 and Oct 2011. Any requests?
  12. My local liquor store sells Apple Mie "Moonshine". I always wanted to try it, it's one of those name brand ones, Ole Smokey, you've probably seen it. Alc% is pretty low too for "moonshine" It's only 70 proof.
  13. Look how bad the forecast (and probably modeling) leading up to this storm Friday Overnight Forecast (2 Days): Partly Cloudy and Mid 40s for Monday Saturday Evening (36 hours): Rain. Upper 30s. Sunday Night (12 hours): Snow changing to rain. Mid 30s. 4-7" total. This event dropped 15" in New Haven (And that's a DOT measurement)
  14. Merry Christmas! Here's a little gift. The Feb 2001 blue bomb. This is my #1 all time snow storm for many reasons. Epic thunder snow, rates of 3"/hr, flakes the size of baseballs, and a huge positive bust. 95% of the state received 12-24" on a short fuse WSW of 4-7" (New Haven County)
  15. Winter cancel, winter cancel, winter cancel Beatle juice, Beatle juice, Beatle juice
  16. My #2 all time favorite. An event that lasted Sunday afternoon until almost midnight on Tuesday. Forecast was a bust and we still got about 12-18 statewide. I remember watching NBC30 while in VT when watches just went up. I believe Bob Maxon had 24-36" in the NW hills, 18-24" for central CT and 12-18" for southern and SE CT. I also remember Paul Kocin talking about this is likely going to be the biggest storm in over 50 years (prob a ref. to the blizzard 1947). This was a huge bust for the cities, Central Park only received 3.5" and Boston received 9.8". Both those cities i believe were in the 1-2 foot range maybe 3 feet. This was a huge interior event with southern NH, VT and NY getting up to 3 feet. My #1 all time coming soon... One of the cleaner, esthetically speaking, looking maps I've made.
  17. LOL at least you got plowable snow. This was a non-event for me. I remember being jealous I had like 1" of slush, glop, liquid snow that barely coated the grass and decks but left the roads and driveways bare but my step father in Meriden had 7".
  18. Compared to our normal average and storms >10" we have been very lucky these past 5 seasons in the New Haven County area. Past 5 Seasons Totals: 2014-2015: 67.4" (Well Above) 2015-2016: 37.5" (Near Normal) 2016-2017: 51.8" (Well Above) 2017-2018: 59.1" (Well Above) 2018-2019: 28.7" (Slightly Below) 5 Year Average: 48.9" Normal Season Average: ~35" Past 5 Seasons # of Storms >10" 2014-2015: 1 (Feb 2nd 11.5") 2015-2016: 2 (Jan 24th 14.4" Feb 5th 10.4") 2016-2017: 1 (Feb 8th 14.5") 2017-2018: 2 (Jan 4th 11.8" Mar 7th 13.5") 2018-2019: 1 (Mar 4th 11.5") 5 Year Average: 1.4 storms >10" Normal: N/A
  19. PNS statements, you can really see the elevation part of it. Wolcott/Waterbury are very hilly towns probably a lot of reports ranging a great deal.
  20. 2010s id have to say. Storms in the 24-40" range in 2011 and 2013 of which the 2000s had none. As a kid i was definitely more impacted by the 2000s though. I experienced my first thundersnow which was epic CG. And experienced my first 12"+ snow that i can vividly remember as well as the 54 hour epic Mar 4-6th event.
