Wallingford, CT Feb 8-9 2013 Noreaster/blizzard. A storm I will never forget.
22 inches in Norwalk in SW Fairfield CT and we"missed" the big bans which gave Easton 35 inches only 2 towns to the east.

ugh those storms both of them...both the 05 and 15 bitter cold jan events....heart breakers for many western and some central interior folk, both promising feb 13 totals from big models and neither one delivering more than a moderate to moderate heavy run of the mill snowstorm over many many hours of snow
i hated both events personally although from a met perspective they were pretty amazing but just goes to show that those type of events will ALWAYS favor the coast, the hfd spfd corridor north and west will always be on the outside looking in with those events...the storms really have to track inside the benchmark...jan 96 was on the weaker side in the hfd spfd area as well compared to just about everywhere else, some bad data exists on that event but the big 20 plus inch totals were confined to higher elevations and south (mostly well south west) of hartford ct...actually some eastern and south eastern zones kind of got screwed a bit from that event...
id like to see a widespread two to three foot event from 195 nw with very cold temps
Yeah I was living in Norwalk during the blizzard of 96. The cut off east and north was sharp. We received 27 inches (Norwalks largest total to date). While Bridgeport reported 15! Of course Bridgeport probably received 18 as they always under report.
I remember the massive drifts, only Nemo came close when we received 22.

who really knows how they measured down there anyways
They lucked out with that thin band in the early part of the storm. Really lucky.

Remember the 24"-36" NYC got in this years January blizzard?
Sad thing is that in Easton we only got 7. NYC did well in comparison with over 10.

Our snow came at the end from what I remember as the storm pulled away and colder air worked in. Most of it was a driving rainstorm with temps in the mid to upper 30's with ferocious winds.
That was correct. We rained big time with the 6 inch accumulation occurring the final day.

Even in coastal CT we did ok. I lived in Norwalk at the time and received 6. I think Bridgeport only reported 2 but they typically under report by 25 percent on all storms for some reason.

thank god i wasnt in springfield back then
had about a foot plus overall in Bristol Ct...even the day it poured slush from the sky there was a couple inches of it...then when the winds shifted it snowed like crazy that next night for a few hours and pretty good into late morning Saturday...best depth we had was 10-11 inches but we legitimately had a good 13 inches as some of the slush compacted and there was a surprise inch in one last band that came through later Saturday Night after there had actually been some partial clearing...my friend who lived in Wolcott CT had at least two feet and had a foot alone the first day when we had the slush, I remember taking a ride up there two days later and there was still close to twenty inches on the ground while by that time we had compacted to six or seven...
really cool storm though and i thought it was pretty well forecast a couple days in advance
New England snowstorm memories.

Good map but a little light in western Fairfield County and Westchester county in nyk. Almost every city reported 20 to 25 all the way to the Bronx in NYC.
