ORH_wxman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Please refer to this thread for posts on the upcoming storm threat that are not directly analytical/informative in nature...the threads are going to get very crowded now that word is spreading of the threat, and we want to keep a clena thread for analysis, so the other thread will be moderated much more heavily. Meltdown posts can go in here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRWEATHA Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I was in Wareham at the time. There was a swath of 18-24 in SE Mass if I recall correctlyYes. I would say about 16-20 across the S Coast. That was another case like PD II and the Megalopolis Storm where the big question was how far N would get it after hitting the Mid-Atlantic. In all of those cases we fared very well. Since the late 70s I can only remember a few cases of DC getting it and it miss it us. PD I and Feb 2010 being two examples.

EastonSN+ Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'll take any of those totals. Agreed! 20 in 2007 for Norwalk and 16 for 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I was in Wareham at the time. There was a swath of 18-24 in SE Mass if I recall correctly Pretty much standard KU climo for this area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Full grown men asking about '96 because they were too young to remember it. I had just turned. 49 on the way to 50. It was a great storm imby followed by a surprising backlash of 4 inches hours after the snow stopped. We then booked a clipper and reached the snow depth high water mark of that season. Remember 96 fell on an already deep pack. I had 1' on the ground heading into the 1/'96 event........15 year old HS freshman...remember it well.

Remember 96 fell on an already deep pack. Yeah fell on top of a foot that had built up over weeks. I also remember prolific, persistent backlash... I expect that with this one, too. I'm actually in NJ now about 12 miles west of Manhattan and really like my spot for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Kart Mozart Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Favorite songs associated with an impending storm? 1. Gimme shelter 2. Beethoven's 5th. 3. Green Grass & High Tides - The Outlaws 4. Riding the Storm out - mediocre song from REO unless you're a weather nerd. 5. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - most non-weather weenies cringe at this song!

ORH_wxman Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah fell on top of a foot that had built up over weeks. I also remember prolific, persistent backlash... I expect that with this one, too. I'm actually in NJ now about 12 miles west of Manhattan and really like my spot for this one. I think we had at least 2 feet OTG before '96 here...we had all the December snow that didn't melt and then 14.0" on Jan 3-4, 1996 (very underrated event...hit pike region hard). After the overperforming clipper on 1/10 and the big interior hit on 1/12/96, I think we had over 4 feet OTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 As people talk about that 2013 storm that slammed CT. My folks live in eastern New Haven county on a 650' hill. Something like 38"+ of solid snow- not the drifts! They have a ~300' driveway, all uphill (actually the highest house in town- can see LI sound 9 miles way and gets blasted by wind) with a ~10-15 degree pitch. Plow guy couldn't even touch their house or the neighbors'. Had to use a small excavator to extract around 7 houses in the neighborhood. Saw the bill. Cost my folks $700+ for one storm. Only in CT do people pay this much for a single storm... OK, maybe CT/MA/NYC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't remember many of these events people reference. I think I'm probably the youngest regular poster here lolYeah you make me feel old. I have vivid memories of those mid 90s storms. That was my senior year of HS. I was going to Pinkerton and it was the first time I ever recall getting school cancelled the night before (obviously that is NBD now). I woke up at 5a-6a or whenever it was and it hadn't even started snowing yet. On the old TWC local on the 8s I used to get BED in the obs from my cable provider...the rest were all NH. It drove me insane seeing "SNOW" every single hour the night before while S NH was "OVERCAST". Anyways, it ramped up by 7a and I picked up about 9-10" by noon. It was pretty meh for where I live now.

FRWEATHA Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If we get the goods this weekend this will be the third year with a major storm, after 1 yr (14) of very good snows and 2015 prolific snows. You couldn't buy that in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
