Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Berks got it absolute worst. Sugarloaf prob had net gain Sugarloaf had a net gain from the roughtly Spillway X-Cut on down. Above 3,500' there was a bit of snowmelt, but there's no skiing at that elevation right now anway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 On behalf of those of us who apparently can't understand tongue in cheek humor, I apologize. There are some of us who do appreciate your relentless passion (and trolling!) and optimism. This would be a far duller place without your presence. A merry Xmas to you too!Lol thanks man!! I love this place with a passion and it really crushes me when friends/ mets try and bring pain. We move onwards and upwards! Happy holidays to you and yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 this has really been one of the strangest ways to watch a torch evolve and then break down. you'd never draw it up this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this was worse than Jan 96..At least for CT. other areas I know that year was worse..But to lose 11 inches of snow in less than 2 days ..well //enough said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I thought we still had some snow left otg in 96 didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 BDL went from 38" of snow depth on 1/13/96 to a trace on 1/20/96. 29" still on 1/17! That was hideous. Getting rid of a lame looking, crusty, turning brown 6" of snow from a few nickle and dime events was no big deal. Who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 IIRC by the end of the two week assault it was gone.I kind of meant the duration of this. It just happened so fast. 96 wasn't in 36 hours was it? Maybe I am mis remembering. To lose 11 inches of snow so fast just seemed crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lose 11 inches of snow so fast just seemed crazy We lost a foot in two hours lol. I swear. A raging, damaging sou'easter with 3" of rain. The only good thing was the wind damage. I also went skiing at Mt Snow on a HS ski trip during the second inside runner. Epic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I was working at Stop and Shop when the first torch storm arrived herald in by 65mph winds. The funniest thing I ever remember was an old lady literally instantly blown over as she exited the store. Picture those Family Guy scenes where Peter goes from standing to flat on is face in the next cartoon frame. That's what it was like. Never scene anything like it. LOL.

CT Rain Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 11 or so Well we'll agree to disagree on that - considering I was there in Tolland for your last event. Anyway losing 11" over a 3 day warm seems pretty run of the mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of a lame looking, crusty, turning brown 6" of snow from a few nickle and dime events was no big deal. Who cares? Wow that's impressive... BDL having a 38" snow depth is impressive on its own, then to watch that go to a trace a week later is nothing short of an epic torch. Judging by the touchy nature of the subject on this board the past two days, I can't even imagine what would happen if something like that 29 inch melt in 3 days occurred.
