The December 2008 ice storm also started as rain in ORH....we flipped over sometime during the afternoon on Dec 11th, but it didn't really start glazing well until closer to sundown.

That’s a 1994 sounding. Pretty hard to get that.

I mean, that was an all-timer. Like 60F dews and severe wx.

Yes that definitely really helped amplify the narrative…even the mainstream media was talking about it. Also, we never really tracked threats outside of day 5 seriously back in the day…and given that there weren’t a plethora of clown maps from the euro back then, people just didn’t really focus or spend time on a random Euro snowstorm at 150 hours out unless it showed up 2-3 runs in a row. So if one run moved 300 miles at day 6, nobody really made a huge fuss about it. Nowadays, with 25 different clown maps floating around, we can be sure half of them get posted if the model is showing a big solution 6 or 7 days out and then they facilitated a bunch of discussion on it…and then when the inevitable rug-pull happens the next run or two, you get a few tantrums talking about how crappy the model is.

That is nothing like ‘96.

Eh, it was a D5-6 prog that changed. I’d be more impressed if it was inside of 100 hours. I remember even back in its heyday, the euro had the 12/19/08 storm as a 60F cutter trough Ottawa at 138 hours. Next run it was a snowstorm and more or less held serve for the next 5 days.

That is a really cold high pressing but at the same time I feel like these usually end up north of consensus 5 days out. But this one has been trending colder, so who knows.

Great morning. Outside with the boys and they were loving it…took some pics of areas they weren’t trampling…lol

Trees do help a lot. I’ve noticed that where I live too. Snow seems much more evenly distributed with all the woods around me versus my old place which was not a ton of trees. The trees act as a wind break.

And TauntonBlizz posted a pic of him snow blowing that was pretty good evidence of 30”+. Snow on the level was comfortably over his 26” auger housing.

Yep. Bad run and over a 5 winter sample, pretty easy to happen.

That band was friggin awesome. It was like a lake effect streamer for a while. Grabbed an extra 3-4” of pure arctic fluff in about 2-3 hours.

The end is near now. You can tell we’re on the western side of it and it’s also weakening a little to boot. Vis up substantially in the last 5 min.

I echo this sentiment. Awesome storm for the UUU crowd and NeonPeon. Having young kids myself, I really appreciate the snowfalls more since I get to watch them go crazy in it.

Oh yeah. Right there near intersection of 290 and 495. I used to go there all the time to an old driving range near the Solomon Pond Mall. I think they closed it down years ago though.

What town is he again? I remember y out said he was just a bit east of ORH.

Yeah this stuff falling right now is 1-2” per hour stuff. I could believe 3” too with the how fluffy it seems to be.

I wonder if the airport was just a smidge west of the meat of that. Because this is like a lake effect streamer in the heart of it.

These are like lake effect dendrites

It’s ripping under this. Def not 1 SM vis.

This is insane. Lol. But I love little surprises like this at the end of a big storm.

Pure fluff being added right now.

Ramping up even more…lol. This is legit S+…if you didn’t look at the radar, you think you were in the height of the storm.

Yeah that’s good visual evidence of a 30 spot. That is legit.
