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.
-
Yea, that was my point. It wasn’t a 11/12 rat. WC troughs aren’t a death sentence but it certainly was in Jan with no cold in SE Canada. Dec was super odd we couldn’t cash in either. It’s a rat no doubt, just a strange one. Pope is doing what the pope does..berate others opinions, chastise snow lovers, and stroke his little goose in the process.
-
Stay angry your holiness.
-
This has been the strangest winter in my lifetime. Lows along the BM with no cold to tap into, continuous WC troughing, plenty of rain to satisfy Stein, and when we finally get cold it’s dry Siberia. 80s on roids. The good news is the atmosphere is capable of being ultra persistent so you have to think one winter it could be this favorable for us…with continuous EC troughing and trains of snows. A lighter Feb15 type of persistency but longer.
-
I never bought the second piece of energy wrapping up and running inland, there’s just not enough spacing from the cutting lead vort unless it slows down and phases in, which the trend is for it to not to. It’s a precarious setup but progressive so it wasn’t worth dissecting until we’re inside d4, if the chance is still there. There’s room though to sneak in an event, but it’s tight. We’ll see.

There are some houses in our ‘hood that never clean up and it irks me.
