Worst storm ever. One of several awful busts that month. No way I got close to 5". More like 2.5 or 3 that washed away while Ray was doing naked cartwheels in 30" of pow. May it live in infamy with Boxing Day.

Def not the worst. 7 days later came an even worse bust. lets all remember.

I believe that was the storm where I first became aware of Eastern and of weather discussion boards in general. It was a glorious discovery to find that others shared my enthusiasm. The storm itself was fun, although I recall agonizing a bit as that epic deform band stalled just east of my location and pummeled southeast CT. 

i felt exactly the same. it was early morning around 5-7am

Here's the NESIS

yeah its hard to pick up on the NESIS, 4-10 is quite a broad range.

16.50" out of this one.

looks like a puzzle piece

I remember this storm Ryan kept hammering a heavy snow zone down central connecticut, i saw it too, we all saw it. Ended up being Central CT smoked exhaust and got totally screwed.

Well it is comforting to know that no matter how bad we get screwed, the New London area always gets screwed even worse.

Yeah, I just looked it up and it’s $1100 for a winter visit and overnight stay. I wouldn’t make a habit of winter visits but I’d drop that cash with zero reservations for that kind of experience. 

And the day you book just happens to be an inversion with mid 30s, no winds and fog

I actually need to get up to Mt. Washington someday. Could I take the cog to the top on an extreme wx day?

Pretty tranquil weather up there i hear.

I see some people posting about the Blizzard 2009, Steve and I have posted photos and maps and such in the remembering past winter storms thread

The Blizzard of 2009. 10 years ago today. 

If you come back to Connecticut i'll change it

That's a fake total for sure. We had about 6".

+5.5

Trained Spotter says otherwise, i know you there at the time so i believe you but based on the surrounding SE and NE reports it doesnt look far fetched

Lol, not a chance in hell that Watertown had 11.5.

hell disagrees with you matty boy.

Finally got around to doing the final totals map for this storm, going back and getting a lot of storms done. Couldn't find the obs thread but this works.

old wounds, new map.

Updated totals from the squalls that moved through today.

Another 0.3 puts me at 6.5 on the season

These videos are great. Snow moving through Schenectady.

Haha, good point, you asked.  Is it followed by a number?  If so then it's snow beginning and the minute of the hour it did.  Like SNB38 should be snow beginning at 38 minutes after the hour.

yes it does what does the "E" and the number after that mean though? Estimated seconds?

Is that snow beginning?

i dunno you tell me?

Looking back at the METARs in CT it makes perfect sense, so thats prob right
