Couple flakes mixing in here.

Yeah solid year. It's too bad Feb sucked because that could have been up with the ones we always speak of.

Enjoy it fellas! Nothing like it.

96 was definitely better up this way vs 2016. My first 2' event.

Probably in Jan 2013. LOL. But I think it started looking better at the end of the month in terms of the pattern. Only storm where I melted a few days prior, was in 2015 and if mets don't agree they're lying..lol. I thought for sure the system two days before Juno would kick it OTS. Never thought we had room for that to come closer. Boy was I wrong on that, but I think most mets would agree 9/10 times that is a kicker.

That's a great recap. Jan 2011 was epic weenie month in CT, esp western, SW CT. I have no issues with that month again though up this way. That 6 week stretch was great NW of PYM, but an under the radar epic screw job from Diane's old hood through the Cape. I guess they made up for it later on in the decade.

Wait a minute..lol. I melted? I don't think I melted prior to Feb 13.

Here is the thread I had about previous storms.

I have a thread just like this buried somewhere. Lots of good stuff on it too.

The violent backdoor of April 2002.

Some of these look like meh events. Stick to the top 5.

I think that was the hail date. There were two massive storms that hit within a few days of each other.

5 influential events for me. Not in order. 1) Gloria. This storm excelled my passion for weather. Just remember watching trees bending like I’ve never seen before. The stratus was flying by. 2) Blizzard 96. This finally broke the 2’ cherry after being screwed in December 92 and just missing the Feb 94 long duration event. 3) 4/1/97. I still haven’t had a storm that left me in awe like that one did. 4) January 2005. Most intense winds in combo with snow rates and temps I’ve seen. 5) May 1996 Brockton area macroburst. While I didn’t get to directly experience it, it tore through the city and suburbs. The damage I saw was astounding.

We are lovely, peaceful, beautiful people in the NE forum.

What a dumb comment he made LOL.

Josh and everyone in that whole school went through absolute hell. As you saw from pictures, everything is completely smashed there. Knowing Josh, he’s probably helping out. Frankly, he probably can’t really even find a way to get home right now. He’s done this before, and I’m sure he’s OK. Are we really surprised we have not heard from him by now given what we‘ve seen?

What a sick band.

There is something about being the “lucky” unexpected one to jack. I remember feeling that, after the long duration Feb 2015 storm. I did not expect that much snow. I had to take a walk to admire what transpired.

I think it’s simple. You got a fluff job and the timing of your clearing probably allowed for primo stacking as the best bands moved in. I don’t think your measuring was flawed.

I wasn’t calling BS. Was trying to see how it jived with radar.

But upslope is fake snow. Death band snow is similar.

Honestly Ray, we know how OCD you are with measuring. As long as you were there and believe you did everything as best as you could, then that’s all that matters. Seriously.

And on top of that, Dendrite brought up an excellent point about timing of your brush off with respect to bands. Sure it wouldn’t make a 6” difference, but your coincidental timing made it minimalize compaction.

Snow measuring is a joke. You have multiple methods as accepted.
