gymengineer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The Mid Atlantic had the 3 KU storms in 86-87, great season, and then the Veteran's Day storm in 87-88 as well as a smaller snowfall in January, I believe, too. 88-89 was actually a decent year for parts of SE VA and the Delmarva as they got hit with the February '89 tease. What did you get in 85-86? Don't know much about that winter... '85/'86 was a near average season- pretty rare nowadays. We had a great February, where from the second week on, it snowed once every few days (rare for us of course..). There were 3 moderate snowstorms within a week during the last week of the month. ETA: And we had a 10+" month, which again, is an accomplishment for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 '86-'87 was a blockbuster here and '87-'88 was slightly above average. Therest of them stunk from '84-'85 through '91-'92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made the difference between ORH and Boston in '86/'87 (which as you know ended up right at average)? Was it the New Years storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...also the Jan 22 storm wasn't that great in BOS IIRC. Also there was an April '87 event that gave ORH 17" and BOS 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 A lot of the bad seasons have come more recently...though 2002 and 2000 had October snow events too. But 1979, 1988, 2003, 2005, 2009, and this year (so far) will help with the selective memory process. I think it's the seasons where there's widespread accumulating snow events over all or most of SNE and the northeast where it tends to lead to bad winters. Not just a snowfall at ORH. We'll see what happens from here on out..as Jan does seem to hold alot of promise..but you can't be too excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I had to move a large branch from the driveway with my dad today. I feel for the power crews, that thing was well over 100lbs and a pain in the arse without the power line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
