It was kinda meh here only because most of it fell from 4-10am and then dryslotted with snizzle until the evening. I know 16” is a very good amount but how I get there is just as important to me.
-
I think it’s because 2011 affected more metros like Philly, even with 4-10” while 2013 was mostly concentrated in NewEng.

The nam lead the way and OKX choked again. They refused to reduce amounts for NYC Metro knowing the trend was north so people wouldn’t let their guard down. @MJO812 will confirm.
-
Lol nice run.
-
Yea that’s what I have. That was an inside 48hr semi bust where we were supposed to get crushed with 20+ and after the first monster band came through in the morning and lifted north, it was crap snizzle for the remainder of the day. That’s the storm that deformed the catskills into NVT followed with some upslope. I think Stowe got 50” and people reported a weenie snorkeling his way to the mountain.

When I think of clippers I think of the cold it advects along with fluffy snow. Dec11 was fairly wet until sunset which is why I initially dismissed it as a clipper of yore.
-
If we can The Nino next season then that should help us WOR folk get out of the snow stein basement of big events.
-
That was a true clipper? Hmm I stand corrected then. Anecdotally though, they seem to happen less frequently at our latitude. Growing up in the 80s in CNJ, clippers were a majority of our snowfall lol.
-
We’ve punted more systems this season then what they’ll punt in the SB.
-
We haven’t had one in years. They’re a dying breed.
-
Yup. Drink the sorrows away bud. Nice name there lol. I’ve come around to good beers. I still prefer my high noons but I got a pack of Megaton for Sunday.
-
The last 18” may have been Oct 11 but even that may have been a tick under. I lived there then and I recall the official measurement being a little suspect. Whatever, it was high impact as we know. I think maybe higher spots in Danbury reached 18-20” in 03/18 but DXR did not. I’m not sure the airport has/had an official obs for snow. Feb13, the noaa map says they’re shy of 20” but I think they came close.
-
The only thing we can do is reminisce big snows of yore while smoking indo and sippin on IPAs.
-
I wonder who here has the longest 18”+ event drought. Caveat being, you’d have to have lived here since 2010/2011. I’m pretty sure the strike zone has been SE zones or the interior. Feb 13 is the only one I can recall that hit central areas from sw to ne.
-
And…I missed it. FMWL.
-
I think Feb 13 was more widespread with higher amounts though:
-
Only 16 days to go…
-
I thought SEMA had some 30+ amounts last year. I remember the great Meh’er himself mehing his way to 32”.
-
I’ll take 13/50 myself which equates to a legendary hitter in the MLB nowadays.
-
When we salivate over >1” probability maps…. Yours truly, winter of 22/23
-
Anything above 85/65 is hot to me lol. July to August was AN but we did not have a big memorable heat wave IIRC. Lots of 92/70 type of stuff. We probably had a mid 90 stretch somewhere but if BDL ain’t hitting 110 these-days, it’s forgotten. (I kid).
-
Just a continuous 12 month melt from a rat winter to a crappy spring that eventually leads to another hot summeh drought which turns into an subpar foilage season in the fall. Just non stop bitching about the desired weather outcomes not coming to fruition.
-
Some of us are still tracking but we get berated for looking at systems in a vacuum. Instead, we should chug a bottle of anger and depression…and jump into the mass grave.
-
That’s not it.
