  1. Ah yes, winter golf, when a well hit drive goes about 180 yards and then plugs in a fairway that is wetter and softer than an Irish bog.
  2. Linemen will be getting a huge Xmas bonus this year.
  3. How did you guys do in 10/17? That was a beast out here and especially out towards eastern Mass.
  4. Interesting that you can kind of see a bit of inversion right on the immediate coast with the gust product. Still windy as hell though.
  5. Dude, didn't you pull like a foot last week? That's a win in my book.
  6. There was another small one in North Haven in 2016 as well. The shape of the valley must affect the helicity locally or something.
  7. I was being kind of facetious with that list tbh. July '89 F4 absolutely retains my top spot, though. My godmother's house got completely wrecked in that tornado. I remember one of her slate shingles was driven several inches into the trunk of an oak tree next door. Feb '13 would take my number two spot if I had been in Hamden for it. Sadly I was in Boston (it was still pretty epic up there).
  8. The 10/30/17 "forgettable" storm was an awesome event.
  9. 1. July '89 Hamden tornado 2. 2018 Hamden/North Haven tornado. 3. 2020 Hamden/North Haven tornado. 4. Feb '13 5. Multi-way tie: Sandy, Jan '15, Jan '96.
  10. I'm curious, if the cold water tends to protect the shoreline from high end wind, what allowed the March 12, 2010 event to slam Fairfield county so hard?
  11. Nah. Nothing left to melt at that point.
  12. Coming down at a good clip. Roads covered, everything coated in fresh white vestments; got a fire going, tree lit, Bing Crosby Christmas crooning; just a fine winter afternoon.
  13. Actually coming down nicely at the moment. Beautiful out there.
  14. Nice little mood snow to cover the brown slush. This is the best week of winter in a few years down here, so I'm really enjoying it, Christmas torch be damned. Pattern looks decent going forward, too.
  15. Yeah that's brutal. I'll be using COD if that's a permanent thing.
  16. Sure was! Amen, brother. Glad you're feeling better.
  17. You thinking of the Norlun on 1/8/11? Put down a quick 8-15" a few days before the monster.
  18. Yeah, noted for sure for future reference. It was a very solid storm for sure, but a pity we dryslotted/sleeted for so much of the overnight hours.
  19. Certainly pegged the sleet down here well. I dismissed them out of hand, but they were spot on.
  20. I'm gonna say it: If I were in a town that got 24", but knew that a few miles away they were stackin up 40"+ under a 6"/hr band, I'd melt. I'd melt real bad.
  21. That's insane for any storm, but especially for a relatively short-lived one.
