Yeah thats very interesting. 2015-2016 and 2022-2023 were so similar in regards to temps. Positive departures and a warm winter overall with one absolutely brutal record breaking 2-day cold snap. Looking back, at least in my lifetime, it looks like it's probably 2001-2002. 16F was the coldest temp recorded all season at BDR. At BDL 10F in 2002 as well. Think that was the last time as far as i can tell.

Steve i got 4.5 from you on cocorahs. CT-WN-8, i believe thats you, 2+2.5 daily, is that correct?
im just guessing here but just wanna know if thats your report, thanks!
Yeah, that one i remember reading. 2001 was before my time of evening knowing what an AFD was. But 2005 i remember seeing something like "here we go...this kind of storm only happens once or twice in a forecaster job" something like that

The duration of that storm was something i've never seen since. Nearly 60 hours is pretty spot on. I remember snow began early Sunday and the last flakes flying Wednesday morning just after midnight.
If this season turns out to be a rat that will be 5 out of the last 6 that were either well below average or straight up Ratters. 20-21 was the only good season since 17-18.
If i get into the 20s this season, i'd consider that to be a win. Sad shit...
