Quincy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Record snowfall season for Tolland County? CT DEEP states the state's record snowfall is 115.2". Not sure how accurate that is, but places like Staffordville, Tolland and Coventry could break that. http://t.co/Fat85FUyKo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm actually favoring a continued north trend on this...I'm not sure if it will trend north enough to smoke us, but the Euro ensembles have been north of the OP for quite some time and all other global guidance is well north. Euro hasn't been all that spectacular this winter outside of 3 days...aside from really catching onto the Feb blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Tip, you forgot about the JMA. yeah yeah yeah - i was trying to rely on the most dependable models no, it's really more for muse, of course. it's just fun to look at errant runs; they are like odes to a dream. But ...heh, you never know. Seeing the Euro trend N so much - hey, sun shines on a dogs ass once in a while. Actually, what did the JMA have? No ... in all seriousness, the issue here is the location and depth of the polar vortex that situated as a 50/50 sort-of circulation as we get through the weekend. Take the 12z UKMET for example: It has a decent 500mb structure with attending sfc reflection, at/around 72 hours, but it all just falls to pieces immediately there after. Why? Because if you look down stream, the vortex is still mightily in tact, and not really moving... That supplies a big "crunch" in the flow, and evolving wave-spacing/damping takes place. The vortex being the stronger of the two, the model opts to maintain it in lieu of the system decay on the EC. Wrong - I think the model is holding onto that vortex position and strength too long. The other models, include the recent GFS, and now the Oper Euro trend, show that feature filling more, and pulling away. That opens the door for a more favorable wave spacing, and the conservation of moment et al with OV-MA translating system. I think there is a solid median chance for a middle to upper impact winter storm, yet again during that time. By the way, the 22nd through the 28th has been flagged by the teleconnectors for over a week now, and last night, the CDC PNA NAO together are flagging an Archy nearing April Fools.

CapturedNature Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I like our whole areas chances of breaking our record from 96 whatever that number is I had 133.3" that season. You, Coventry and Staffordville probably had close to 150" since you average about 10% more than me on any given storm. I need 9.9" to break 100". That would be my second time breaking the 100" mark. This season is currently #4 at 90.1". If I get another 0.8" it will be #3. #2 is 93.3" so that is in reach. I doubt I break 133" but another April '97 would put me close!

ORH_wxman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/IPS/coop/coop.html Edit: Looks like as of Feb he had 69". He has 28" so far this month from the two storms so he should be at 97" right now. He might be slightly higher if he recorded any tenths in between the events, but I don't really think there were any instances like that this month.

Yeah, I don't think so and I looked at the coop dailies and didn't see anything. He seemed low though on yesterday afternoon's and this early mornings snow by a couple of tenths but he's got to be right around 97". I'm glad he doesn't post here because my wife knows his wife (small town) and he's a real weenie. I guess he has this whole room setup with multiple monitors and instruments where he just weenies out when there is a storm lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow that much? I wonder how much if that was lake effect? Was that a big snow Year? Doubt there was much LES in that. 55-56 was a good late-season snow year for much of the Northeast, and Norfolk recorded 101" total for March-April, 73" in March. Then April had a 19" event on 8-9th. They've also had 3 years in the 150s, 60-61, 66-67, and 95-96, all big snow years in NE places far from LES. Their avg is over 90" - helps being at 1,340' in NW CT.

Quincy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 That DEEP site has a lot of suspect "totals" and "records." I should have put a little more though into spewing that. Here's a rough, approximate map of estimated snowfall totals since autumn. Most of the numbers are from here, a few are sprinkled in from other sources. I whipped it together really quick, so it's certainly up for debate and scrutiny. I wonder if there are higher values in NW CT, but when I checked some COOP stations from Dutchess County, N.Y., they were close to 50". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
