CoastalWx Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Getting back to the discussion about the 80s since it was off topic....if you think we are all embellishing it, think again. How many years in a row did Worcester go without a double digit storm? At least 4, Will?? It was to the point where my family kept telling me how the winters when they were a kid were so snowy. It got me angry and depressed. A 3-6" got me bouncing off the ceiling. Think about that. We scoff at those nowadays. So remember....treasure the good storms and the good years because when it's bad.....it can be real bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm sure ORH had less years than that. They got bombed in March 84 and April 87 and those are warm storms. I thought will said the longest stretch was 1988-1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Farmington's least snowy winter of 123 on record (1" less than the winter before, so could've been 79-80), and Feb temps ran 12-15F AN. Lot's of bare ground on Aroostook potato fields in late Feb when snow should be at/near its deepest, and the ice ran on the St. John and Allagash.

That outbreak effed up my old neighborhood in Hamden in July '89. Until recently there was a huge oak that had a chunk of slate shingle embedded several inches in its trunk like a tomahawk.

ORH_wxman Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think we'd need a 1938 to make up for the lack of snow in the 1980s and early 1990s. At least for me January '87 was a pretty epic month but outside of that it's pretty bleak...'81-'82 was probably the only truly very good winter. Lots of events and lots of cold. '86-'87 was epic January but not a whole lot else until the April 87 event. February did have a huge event on the Cape. '83-'84 was decent (probably excellent up north though) but had a hideous February that would have left a sour note...but that winter did probably have the storm of the decade...March 28-29, 1984. That storm was uncategorically a beast. But the ratters that decade were just awful...way too many of them and it continued for 3 winters in the early '90s.
