Woodstock 10.5?  No

That is 10" in W. Thompson. That was the storm that had massive subsidence outside of those main mega bands and caused a serious snowfall gradient around them. Reports in the surrounding areas were similar with 12.5" in putnam and 10" in hampton. If it was just one rogue report i might consider tossing it but there were many that fell off sharply once you got out of that main banding. 

Also don't forget this was the storm where i had a very long conversation with @JC-CT about his 9" report in Columbia despite all the surrounding reports being in the 13-22" range. I believe him and thats why there is a hole over Columbia. Same thing with @metagraphica14.5" report in Salem. 

It can be very hard to discern whats legitimate and what's not especially in a storm like this thats long duration, lot of wind, and subsidence outside of banding. But i definitely think those reports are legit considering everything surrounding it is in the 10-13" range around Thompson. 

Here's the revised updated maps i just finished, ct, sne, tri-state are also updated

It's goin in my new SMF message board. Had to go get a new one, because Invision Power Boards is forcing everyone to pay 100 dollar a month or even more!

Thank you, constantly being updated, worked on and improved. New Lower Northeast views being added to the historic storms section. With updated maps for each storm. 

Here's the original thread explaining everything -

21 year anniversary for one of the GOATs in SE MA and perhaps THE GOAT on the Cape. 
 

It was kind of meh west of ORH but what a ferocious storm for the east. The winds were very strong in this one and the airmass was exceptional. It was similar to the airmass this weekend.

I hated that storm, technically we got like 16" but it felt like 6. S- the whole time. And I look at the radar and it's like how did anyone in CT get over 10 looks like a 6-10 event at the most based on the radar. 

I lived in Northampton Mass at the time and we had a solid foot. The overrunning snows had temps in the single digits but the snow growth was good and it was solid inch/hr from mid afternoon through mid evening 6-7 inches. It then lightened up but we got a couple more inches over the next several hours and then around 3 am the shield was really organizing but also moving SE and a nice heavy burst came through for about 45(3 inches!!) minutes before quickly tapering to flurries leaving a foot of powdery snow otg

Then I watched in awe and wild jealousy as the eastern zones just got destroyed through mid morning while we had clear cobalt blue skies and bright sun.

Greatest snowstorm totals on record I think for SE MA and Cape Cod.  A CoastalWx favorite.  IIRC Bridgewater MA said they had 41" but it was thrown out.  Don't bring that total up to CoastalWx, he gets fired up every time!  LOL.

How about this one?  Dec 11-13, 1992.  This was the one the started it all.  The first blockbuster coming out of the snow drought since the mid 80s.

I had 18" in Woburn.  Biggest single storm snowfall I had I think since the April 1982 blizzard.  What made this odd, is that I had a ton of rain Dec 11, and then a ton of snow on Dec 12.  It is very rare to have so much rain and then so much snow in two parts in one storm over 48 hr in the NEUS!

And the R/S line on Dec 11.  One of the sharpest and most stationary for such a long time I have ever seen.  In the evening, Nashua already had 6" and in Billerica nothing.  Drove N on Rt 3 just after midnight, and not even a mi N of 495, hit a snow covered road like a wall.  Got to Drum Hill in Chelmsford, and it was fluff and hardly any wind.

Then the R/S line collapses S a few hours later and the rest is history!  CoastalWx was totally ripped off in Brockton.  Slushy mess while 5 mi NW of him over a foot!
