The two of the heaviest snowfall rates that I've seen were not in big snowstorms. I'll look up the dates. Curious if others witnessed them.

Freezing Drizzle Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 @Amped Here is one for you. March 7, 2018 My notes: Schools closed. Heaviest snowfall rate ever witnessed, from noon to 1 pm. 5.5" total. [The schools in Perth Amboy were closed based on the forecast. It had looked like a bust, with only light snowfall in the morning. Then, came down at a rate of around 4 inches per hour for about an hour.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider both NNJ deathbands that gave NYC some decent snow but not a jackpot like the others. They also didn't get huge amounts of snow in April 2003 or November 2012 due to the surface being warm, but radar showed a deathband stalled over the city for 4-5 hrs both times with a couple SN+ obs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezing Drizzle Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 2/12/2006, on your list. @Amped 8 am that Sunday morning. Showing 35 to 40 dBZ echoes over my local area. The greatest snowfall rate during a major storm that I can recall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to know how tall those telegraph / telephone poles actually were. Searching the web it's surprising to me how few publicly circulated photographs there are of this storm. And the photos that do exist, at least those without any obvious indicators of timeframe like one you linked to, look like they're from the 30s or 40s rather than just three years before we put a man on the moon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says it was not as tall as today's power lines, but it was still a deep drift deep. Did you see the photo of the guys house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the photo of the guys house? Yeah, that was crazy too. That pic was the one other pic I thought could be consistent / supportive of the telegraph one. To your point, the article did state that poles were not as tall as todays, I just wish they had an idea of how tall they actually were. But even if they were 12 feet off the ground that would still be impressive. Who knows, I wonder too was it snow that was atop a previous snowpile or something? But again that pic of the house looked legit, and I'm sure 70 mph winds with prolonged heavy snow over wide open plains I'm sure could yield some tremendous drifts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastalplainsnowman Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 25 years ago today it was becoming apparent that a gargantuan snowstorm we were expecting was not working out. Who else remembers TWC/Paul Kocin’s maps which had areas of 3 feet around here? That was the first time TWC had shown anything like that on the East Coast, ever, I think, and I swear it hit the same way a map showing 5 feet here would today. And it’s not like he was hyping. He was discussing those maps almost reluctantly, in that distinctive voice he has. Anyway I remember some very localized areas, including out east on LI, actually ultimately ending up with 15”, but most got much less, and compared to the expectations that were set initially as well as some of us only wanting to hear the biggest numbers, led to this being considered one of the all time disappointments. Others here can definitely provide better recollections and data I’m sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some great drifting both from the storm and the days after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
