  1. Normally i wouldn't create a map for such little snowfall but under the circumstances i felt like it was justified. Rare May snow. Not many reports to go off of so i did the best with what i had.
  2. It's snowing here as well, not graupel or mixed r/s or mangled flakes, light snow and flurries. And it's 44F. About the warmest i've ever seen snow. I think i've seen it closer to 50F before but i cant confirm the exact temp.
  3. How rare is this for northern Maine? I feel like ive seen snow plenty of times in maine up there. The records are pretty low for CAR, for any given date in the first half of may.
  4. whats wrong with dec 2020? writing off next winter already?
  5. With the possibility of snow upcoming, coincidentally on May 9th, i thought id post some stuff about that historic '77 storm. If anyone has any personal experiences and lived through it, i'd like to hear about it. This storm happened way before i was born. Some snowfall totals at some sites. Norfolk, CT: 20 KORH: 12.7 Blue Hills, MA: 7.8 KPVD: 7.0 KBDL: 1.3 KDXR: 1.0 KBOS: 0.5 KBDR: T KNYC: T
  6. I haven't seen that much in one event ever lol.
  7. That's awesome dude. I was more than pleased with 14.4" from that storm considering with less than 24hrs to go many models were showing a whiff and i remember the EC ensembles were split 50/50 from basically nothing to 2 feet. I've experienced probably a dozen TSSN events since living in CT and i remember the first one was the most impressive to this date. I had CG lightning strike less than 100ft away and loud summertime convective claps. I remember being a kid then and didn't even know it was possible to get thunder and lightning during a snow storm. Id love to get 28", never seen a storm that big.
  8. I can't tell if this a joke or you're actually serious.
  9. Remembering the blizzard of 2016. One of my favorite all time storms. Awesome radar loop.
  10. painful memories. glad it worked out for you though.
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. Next up will probably be Dec 30th 2000 and Oct 2011. Any requests?
  15. 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)
  16. 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)
  17. 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.
