  1. Drag still posts in the NYC forum, don't know if you saw it. Does he still work for NWS PHI?
  2. Reminder: We didn't see our first widespread snow event in SNE until Jan 24th 2015 and Jan 23rd 2016. Enjoy Christmas, have a few nogs, a few shots of Goldschlager and you'll be feelin' much better
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Next up will probably be Dec 30th 2000 and Oct 2011. Any requests?
  6. 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.
  7. 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)
  8. 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)
  9. Winter cancel, winter cancel, winter cancel Beatle juice, Beatle juice, Beatle juice
  10. Only thing ying and yang is the twins
  11. you like my sig? it took me a while with the colors and is for king 's only.
  12. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful Christmas Eve!
  13. 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.
  14. Green grass here. Birds chirping, kids playing in open fire hydrants, sounds of ice cream trucks driving by and my neighbor has his pool open.
  15. 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".
  16. If that's a deep pack then I'm Elvis.
  17. 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
  18. Gross. that storm makes me want to vomit. I still have nightmares to this day.
  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.
  21. The elevation snow storm of 2006. The map doesn't really do the elevation part justice but it was a very anamolous event for CT. Snow totals varied drastically over just a couple hundred feet up or down. I remember getting virtually white rain all day that only accumulated to about 1" of pure glop probably close to a 1:1 ratio snow. Roads were just wet, driveways wet, grass was slightly covered, overall pretty lame. I drove up just a few miles north to Wallingford/Meriden around 300ft elevation and they had 7" with plows going by, snow blowers going, it was like winter wonderland. Some CT towns in New Haven and Fairfield county varied as much as 10" in a single town alone from up high around 500-600ft to near sea level snow amounts ranged from 1-10".
