The 4 Seasons

Yeah theres a lot of examples of that. You can even see it this season in some lesser events over RI/Prov area/Western SE MA

lucky you, theres been 2 here in the last 30 years, and i missed both of them. 2011 and 2013 were it for 18+ storms since 1996. 2003 PDII was close around 16-18", missed that one too i was in Italy for a class trip...so pissed.

Far NW CT got screwed that storm, you were dangerously close to another ho-hum 11-12" event.

3-6" on a 20-30" is a bust of all busts, embarrassing. We all got bamboozled by the Euro/NAM

it was almost an identical repeat of Jan 26-27th, 2015. Only this time expectations were much lower so it wasn't a huge bust and fiasco like Jan 15 was.

Rip

Yeah that over performer we've talked about a lot recently that produced 20:1 ratios and over 4" per hour briefly here. Picked up 11.1" from that event https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-7-2022 And it's also the 9th anniversary of one of my favorite storms of all time the Jan 7th, 2017 Blizzard. The last minute (<D3) trends were incredible and that is one of the only storms i can remember seeing true white-out conditions with 0 visibility and temperatures in the upper teens during daylight hours. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-7-2017

Today (and tomorrow) is 30th anniversary of the Blizzard of '96. I made two full radar animations of this event one with a 10 min interval and one with a 15 min interval and different overlay. Snowfall maps were recently updated but only OKX and PHI had a PNS for this event with a lot of reports. BOX & ALY did not, they didn't start doing that until the 96-97 season. So all we have is the COOP reports to go off of and official climo sites. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-7-8-1996

2 years ago today. The other big storm that season. A lot of the areas that jackpotted here missed out on the Feb 13th, 2024 snowstorm. A pretty insane gradient S to N with coastal SECT getting less than 1" to upwards of 17" in N Granby. Just got done re-doing this entire storm from scratch for accuracy and to include Lower Northeast map w/ climo sites. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-6-7-2024 Contours Only

Hey guys i just added this storm and Dec 31-Jan 1st light snow/squall event to the archive with snowfall maps radar and more. They're in the main archive and a dedicated Winter 25-26 page as well https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/storm-archive https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/winter-25-26

4th 3"+ event of the season is now up. Pretty sick radar animation. I was able to use 5min increments for this instead of the usual 10 min because the total duration was short so the file size wasn't too big. Still can't attach it here for some reason though. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-1-2026

funny thing is i didn't say which one....lol

Just updated the site to include this storm as the third 3"+ Winter Storm in the archive for the 25-26 season. Radar/Sfc/H5 maps included. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/dec-26-27-2025

you were def under a WSW for that storm. The whole state was. Watches were converted to warnings, no surprises. It looked iffy right up to go time but everything verified. they got downgraded north of the CT boarder and expanded into NYC/NJ/LI area.

Yeah, the 18GFS is a pretty good look D9-15 but were talking an OP run in clown range but overall the look was good. Lots of chances post Jan 14ish

BOS under a WSW and got 0.1 LMAO. Haven't experienced a bust that bad here in a very long time, probably Mar 18.

sorry

Yeah hes AN right now. KNYC should be 6.5 to date. Next week or so will bring him down to right around normal. It's def above normal here as well...for now. 15.7 in W Ha i believe the report is from Ryan he jackpotted. I actually just got done re-doing that entire storm for like the 4th time for accuracy and to include the new wider view Lower Northeast maps. That was the most recent double digit storm in CT. Working on Jan 6-7th, 2024 now.

Final snowfall totals for the NYE/Day light snow & snow squalls

You can go to the website to see them all. Everything should be working perfectly there with no issues. I have to delete old images from here to save space every once in a while. And i also changed a bunch of URL links as i was constructing the site over the summer last year. So if you navigate from within the site everything should be fine. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/historic-storms https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/storm-archive https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/snowfall-maps

Unbelievably strong system modeled, verified too, close to 950mb as it passed over the 40/70 benchmark. very tight qpf field, W/C NJ and LHV only verified advisory level snowfall.

i wanted to ask you about the 80s. Is Feb 11-12th, 1983 the only big region wide historic snowstorm that decade? That's the only one i could find on the NESIS site and its the only one i mapped out on our site for the 1980s. Anything else that was widespread 12"+ snowfall in the 80s?

not this much and not really down here, certainly not near an inch ...so not really.

8 years ago today. Jan 4th 2018 Blizzard I got a bunch of radar loops and sfc maps and satellite/wv here https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-4-2018 Contours only

0.8" final. Nice little surprise event, plows are out. 12.3" on the season.
