This is Dec 1992 in Worcester (from someone's Flickr accnt)

What images, radar captures, etc exists for Dec 1992?

I have seen the WCVB report on Youtube

Boxing Day was meh for me, but it was fun to revisit those threads

2007

Awesome pic Steve

Not even sure of the date of that... we have these servers... make 'em work!

The powder I know doesn't crunch. Crunchy powder, it must be a SW Comm. thing.

Powder squeeks when it is cold enough. Love that sound

An old snow weenie I worked with used to tell me about that storm. Sadly he died last December

Ahhhhh Feb 1969 series of good events that never stopped

1978 was my lifetime storm

Nothing else close If you didn't live it you can't understand. Complete snowfall devestation

40+" widespread. Hurricane winds. Cold temps. Long duration

I would endure 10 2006-2007 to experience that again

You got more than 25"...probably more like 27-28" there. The center of Shrewsbury up higher probably had 30".

I had 34-35" in Holden MA at the time.

Your uncle had 40"?

Dec 1992 I was living on Sarah Ave in Lowell

Spent the afternoon evening pushing cars that were stuck (usually cute coeds). We also walked to the packy that was still open

I think we finished around 18". I was mostly ****faced

Almost 3 feet???? How about 40 in Nottingham?

ROCKINGHAM...

40 INCHES ... NOTTINGHAM

34 INCHES ... HAMPTON /NH DOT/

That was Pete, slant sticking as usual

LOL 40-80mph winds and seas 20-40FT.

Here is the demon

Ever run into him?

here it is... March 2001

What was the storm old Brucey Schwegoler muffed where someone did that hilarious YouTube video Boston destroyed

Hole in the atmosphere

WA WA was like donner/ tahoe for a storm 42 inches EPIC.....

who will get smoked this year........will someone see a 20 incher....a thirty incher......more.......all possible in just about any area in SNE....which IMO is one thing that makes this area special

This video is interesting, if not a bit long...

2/25/10 could have been epic if it hadn't flipped over

Still psyched over 2/27/10

I wished I lived here in Dec 1992. It was good in Lowell but here was sick

Close to 40"

I know a lot of people don't really value wind as much as snow for a storm metric, but that storm was just ridiculous in terms of wind damage from Essex county up through NH and ME. It broke the record for storm surge at BOS harbor set from the blizzard of '78 iirc, but luckily this occurred at low tide.

That was impressive, especially in coastal NH

That could have been a historical event for ENE but for the temps

For Pete and Rick it was

I know Harvey looks at the euro in more detail then perhaps some of them and he was the more bullish iirc, but still a little low. I mean February in the ORH hills....it's not an uncommon occurrence. But similar people were also going 12-24" back on 2/2 of this year as well. That was almost the complete opposite of 2/23-2/24. We talked about how there was no way people would get near 2'.

If it hadn't flipped to rain at the end, it would have been awesome... as it was, 2/24 and 2/27 were my best 2 snow events

I joust remember warning everyone of the elephant in the room. We were under a blizzard warning while our temperature was near 50 and CAR was something like 38. Most tried to drown me out but I was correct. If I ( serious snow weenie) downplay snow, take it seriously

I distinctly remember you posting that. Dagblamed elephant...

I don't think there is a worse feeling than seeing a forecast of big snow during a time where you know that forecast will shut down rush hour bust on the low side as to being insignificant. What a terrible feeling that 2/10/10 bust was. I know you felt it worse than I did probably since you actually were talking to the governor.

But that is also what I loved about the 2./23-24/10 storm....both of us (you were on that forecast desk right before that storm) got right back on the horse and predicted big snow in the hills of ORH county and western MA while the TV guys were ridiculously gun shy. We got redemption pretty quickly because I think we were the best at not letting the last failure affect our judgement. The TV guys got egg on their face again that storm while we didn't. BOX had a very solid forecast for that storm while TV had a terrible one. And I went balls to the wall too. Again, it was funny, ironically the Union, CT guy was the one giving me the most sh*t before the storm on my forecast even though I was lower down there with 5-9". The N ORH county guys were mostly "WTF? ok, if you say so, we'll get the plow calivary ready." But they all still kind of asked me what I was smoking in one way or the other...and this is coming right off that horrific 2/10/10 bust so my credibility was diminished.

That was a good storm and call by you...although the rain made it not so fun..How was your call for 2/27/10?

I miss having CPickles post. He loves snow more than just about anyone

That was the wettest snow of over 10" I had seen probably since April 1997...though January 2-3, 2006 was close. We were right around the 10" mark and that stuff was complete mashed potatoes. Maybe I'm missing one in there, but I don't think so.

Obviously December 1996 was a plaster bomb too.

I stupidly went to WaWa the next morning just as it was flipping to rain... what a disaster

A good Ekster quote:

"it's 50/50 snow here. Like a true weenie I'm getting in my car and taking the 15 minute ride up 120 to near the intersection with diamond hill road. I need to see 100% snow"
