That was the MLK event.,..but it was actually 2 events listed on 2 separate PNS reports....you probably had like 9" total or so (6" from event #1) . I had around 7-8" total.

Yeah, looks like 6" on 1/18 and 3 or 4" on the 19...

I never knew how to find these before. Very neat.

LOL at the Feb 25-27 2010 totals near Pete

I do not either but looking at the PNS guaranteed Swfe

Looks like i was on the 6" line from the old PNS map...

I learned something new!!!

Don't remember much about this one...

Nuisance? That was your whole winter

Sadly, the 14 inches went down the drain mostly (we ended up with about 6-8" after the rain)

Somehow I had 76" overall...but those were the best 2 events

A couple of nuisance storms from Feb 2010

14" and 10.5" respectively

I def remember T-day 1989

Brought my roommate from the United Arab Emirates to my family's Thanksgiving Dinner in the snow. Good event

What's with the War and Peace post? Did Alex get ahold of your laptop?

Cut & paste from nws

One of my favorite snowstorms occurred on Feb 17th 2003. PD 2 I believe It was a great storm from ACK to NH, a windwhipped frenzy storm with 2-3 per hour rates. Descriptions and pics below. Great times at WWBB on this one as weenies were chucked , DT flipped out, but in the end it was a cold fantastic storm.

With an exceptionally strong high pressure system over New England, a low pressure system developed off the Mid Atlantic Coast. Periods of light snow developed as northeast winds increased to around 15 mph across Southern CT Sunday evening, February 16th. Snow became widespread and heavy, falling at rates up to 2 to 3 inches per hour Sunday night and Monday, February 17th. Heavy snow blown by northeast winds 20 to 30 mph caused near blizzard conditions throughout the area. Record heavy snowfalls crippled mass transit. In addition, widespread minor tidal flooding accompanied this system. Storm Total Snowfall ranged from around 13 to 24 inches. Here are selected specific snowfall amounts for: Fairfield County: from 16.0 inches at Norwalk to 24.0 inches at New Fairfield. At Sikorsky Airport in Bridgeport, 17.0 inches was measured. New Haven County: from 15.0 inches at Milford to 24.0 inches at Wolcott. Middlesex County: from 15.0 inches at Haddam to 15.7 inches at Old Saybrook. New London County: from 13.0 inches at Taftville to 21.0 inches at Preston. major winter storm impacted southern New England with heavy snow and strong winds as it tracked southeast of Nantucket. Snowfall totals of 12 to 20 inches were widely observed in Hartford, Tolland, and Windham counties. A major winter storm impacted southern New England on Presidents Day with heavy snow and strong winds. This was the most significant snowstorm of the winter, with totals of 1 to 2 feet reported throughout the state. The highest totals, around 2 feet, were reported in two areas: one from the east slopes of the Berkshires into northern Worcester County, and the second over Boston's South Shore communities. This snowstorm ranked in the top 10 for Boston and Worcester in detailed records dating back to at least the early 1900s. Despite the tremendous snowfall totals, the overall impact of the storm was minimal since it occurred on a holiday and during school vacation week. However, numerous minor accidents were reported. In addition, no significant damage was reported due to the fluffy, light nature of the snow. Officially, the storm total at Logan International Airport in Boston was 27.5 inches, which set a record for the greatest snowstorm in Boston. The total eclipsed the previous record of 27.1 inches set during the Blizzard of 1978 on February 6th and 7th, though it should be noted that this storm had much less of an impact on the region and pales in overall comparison to the Blizzard of 1978. That storm produced high winds, significant coastal flooding, and more than 3 feet of snow in some areas, crippling the state for several days. The 27.5 inches of snow in Boston also set a record for the greatest 24 hour snowfall total, breaking the previous record of 25.4 inches set during the April Fools Blizzard on March 31st and April 1st 1997. The snowstorm also helped set the February snowfall record in Boston, which reached 41.6 inches and broke the previous record of 41.3 inches set in 1969. Other official snowfall totals included 24.7 inches at Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, 20.8 inches at Worcester Airport, and 17.8 inches at the National Weather Service office in Taunton. Some specific snowfall totals, as reported by trained spotters, included 28 inches in Rockport; 27 inches in Winthrop and Brookline; 26 inches in South Weymouth; 25 inches in Montgomery, Milton, and Hanson; 24 inches in Townsend and Topsfield, 23 inches in Ashfield, Leverett, Petersham, Norwood, and Hingham; 20 inches in Sunderland, Easthampton, Shrewsbury, Boxboro, Framingham, Manchester, West Medway, and Mansfield, 18 inches in Deerfield, Hampden, Worthington, Westborough, Hudson, Hopkinton, Acushnet, and Marshfield; 16 inches in Springfield, Westhampton, downtown Worcester, Sterling, Pepperell, Amesbury, Newburyport, Pocasset, and Chatham; 15 inches in Holyoke, Wilbraham, Leominster, Natick, North Andover, Hyannis, and Nantucket; 13 inches in Edgartown; and 12 inches in Stoneham

Did you write that?

Dude, that was epic

i've definitely been a weenie from the beginning.

embarrassing weather moments from childhood - i can still remember in first grade...we were taking a "test" of some kind (the tie your shoes test? i don't know what kind of tests you take in first grade)...so anyway the classroom was basically silent. it had been raining through the morning and it happened to flip to these hvy monster half-dollar sized flakes during the middle of whatever it was were doing and i stood up and yelled out to my friend Dan "Dan! Look how hard it's snowing!!" and the entire class just laughed.

On a sad note, Dan moved to the M.A. and became a warminista....

Poor Dan

Do you guys keep a personal weather journal (like a paper one)? The data online is good, but the personal recollections are harder to quantify,

Man, I wish we had digital cameras when I was a kid, or even before 2005 in my case...

When Kevin and I walked into a bar on Chatham during the Nov 2007 Noel chase, they were still talking about 12/9/05...they said something "yeah but this will be nothing like December a couple years ago" or something. We asked them to describe it and they said the wind went from just a bit breezy to all hell breaking loose...all of the sudden they heard trees snapping, light posts falling over and piece of roofing getting torn off. It didn't last that long, it was over in 2 or 3 minutes, but it was so intense.

I liked Phil's description of the air being sucked out of his lungs.

Dave 05 intensity on the Cape was worse than78 scores of over 90 mph winds and much worse wind damage, talking wind only do not get me wrong

Oh I know that...

How long was the Cape under the gun with that? I wish I got to experience that monster.

I have been lucky enough to remember some doozies: Dec 2008, Dec 1992 (in Lowell - not the best, but...), March '01, Thanksgiving '89, Feb '78, etc etc etc.

Wish I was old enough and living here in Feb '69... The tales some of the folks around here about 1969 were truly La Epic

Weenie kids doing what we all did when we were weenie kids during Dec 05 , pretending to be newscasters, the video does pick up the intensity well

I didn't bother to watch much. Did they say where they were?

When I was in 2nd grade, we did a pretend WCVB News thing in my classroom. Guess who was the weatherman?

I made a map and pointed at stuff... what a loozer

Thanks Will. That was one of my favorite events from the last 5 years or so...

Any good pics of the Dec 2007 event that hit around rush hour in the Boston area, creating the commute from hell?

Thanks for the radar link Ginxy

Beautiful drifts...

I hope we get lots of these this year

I got like 16" from that April 1996 storm....we had gotten about 5-6" two days prior starting Easter Sunday evening.

That was the storm that set the all time record for snowfall here....before it, we still hadn't beaten 1992-1993.

Are there any good snowfall maps of the Easter event? I seem to remember us getting about 10" from that, and it came on very quickly. We had gone to dinner with my wife's (fiancee at that time) family in Orange and when we went to the cars it was hard to see. Very tough drive back to Gardner.

The storm a couple days later was nice. What a winter.

Who had the 42.0"?

<br /><br /><br />

skin messed it all up

Easy enough to read

Are you guys limited to 1.95mb for attachments?

Ginxy, was the 2005 pic at your current house?

strange, it works fine on my iPod...
