HarveyLeonardFan Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 http://climate.usurf...oducts/data.php Ray, Are some of these reporting stations more accurate than others? I checked a location in Newport and a lot of the historical snowfall amounts were totally underdone and a lot of the dates were off usually by a day. But the PVD snowfall stats were more accurate.

TheSnowman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 First Off - 1995-1996 is 3rd all-time for me. 2004-2005 and 1977-1978 are ahead of it. Second - I rated the best 20 winters of all-time in terms of Overal Awesomeness. 1947-1948, 1977-1978 are up top. This Winter would rank 6th or 7th even if it Stopped Right Now. Amazing!! Officially, it's 12th. And FIRST for February 3rd by a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Did the event 15 years ago occur on a Friday night? The storm gelled at the eleventh hour and it dumped 8 inches in Queens where I was at. Anyone recall how much the South Coast and Cape picked up? That was my wedding weekend....got married Sunday 2/4/96. Friday night we had a traditional dinner for about 30 people. We had about 6 inches of snow and it was quite cold. My wedding day featured a high of 10F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 With today's event BDL is at 84.1'' I believe for the season, so need another 32'' or so to break the record...unless March delivers in a big way the 1995-1996 record will stand for yet another year. I was really hoping though to get to 100''...I really though we would get there, but February wasn't that great. 90'' is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get these straightened out for my own purposes. Most of the numbers prior to '95-'96 are correct on the BOX table...there's only a few minor errors ('73-'74 is listed about 11" too low for some reason). A couple years in the 1980s are incorrect too, but relatively close on the table. Only that period between '95 and '02 has huge errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 We'll almost certainly need a 2nd HECS this season to have any chance at '95-'95. Still needing over 40" with the first week of March looking pretty "bleh" will have us relying on a monster. I suppose we could get the equally rare combo of three more 10"+ storms that late in the season with a nickle or two thrown in...years like '58, '56 and '67 pulled off something close to that.
