The 4 Seasons Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 9 hours ago, Ginx snewx said: 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 https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-28-29-2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prismshine Productions Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I got 5" in that storm...

The 4 Seasons Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-22-23-2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex95 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 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!

tamarack Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Today is the 50th anniversary of the Groundhog Day Gale in Maine, not much snow but lots of drama: Southwest Harbor (on Penobscot Bay) recorded a gust at 115 MPH. --BGR had one at 83 MPH --The wind blew so much water up the Penobscot estuary that the tide at BGR rose 15 feet in 15 minutes, drowning over 200 cars in the Kenduskeag parking lots, as the temp dove from 57 to 1. --CAR temp dropped from 49 to -7 in about 8 hours, and the 957 mb there is the station's lowest, perhaps 2nd lowest (behind the 1978 Cleveland Crusher) for non-TC storms in eastern US. --At our place in Fort Kent, we had 1.5" RA (only 0.5" SN) with temp 46/-11. The CF drove the temp from 44 to -6 in 5 hours. --Roads had horrible ice holes (especially in the woods) until late March when temps got into the 50s.

The 4 Seasons Posted Monday at 06:40 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:40 PM 9 Years Ago - Feb 9th, 2017 Blizzard Amazing storm. Extremely high confidence forecast. One of the few storms i can remember where there was extremely good run-run consistency on models and every model was on board for days. Had thundersnow with this event with 2-4"/hr rates during the day. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/feb-9-2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago We just crossed the 25th anniversary of what is my #1 all-time fav snowstorm. @CoastalWx just linked me to a page about the 25th anniversary of the great Apr 1, 97 blizzard and it got me to thinking about this one. It doesn't get mentioned very often and we've certainly had bigger storms, even recently. However, Feb 2001 is no slouch and a lot of areas received 1-2ft+ in a short amount of time. This storm as well as Dec 2000 and Mar 2001 are what got me interested in meteorology at young age. As Scott as mentioned with Apr 1, the nostalgia and way i felt that day can never be duplicated. Totals alone may not seem like that big of a deal but this stands out and holds my #1 spot for several reasons: Over performer to the max - Forecasts just a couple days before were for rain/snow showers with <1" possible . The day before, in the morning a WS Watch went up for 4-7". And even the morning of the event the forecast was only 5-7". Local news snowfall maps were generally 3-5/5-8/8-12 south to north. 12 hours later 14-25" of heavy wet snow blanketed the state. Road crews were caught off guard and secondary roads remained unplowed for over a day. Flake size & Rates - To this day i haven't seen flakes that large, half-dollar sized aggregates stuck together. I read many reports about people noticing this during the beginning of the storm. Snowfall rates of 2-4" per hour late morning into early afternoon. Thundersnow - First time ever i witnessed thundersnow and at the time i had no idea that was even possible during a winter storm. I just happened to be looking outside right during dusk about 5pm or so and watched as a CG strike hit just a couple hundred feet away with heavy snow/sleet following it. Timing - The timing was perfect starting just after 9AM and lasted through the entire day with over a foot of snow by dark. Schools were closed for 2 days with a delay on the third. I just finished replotting this event for the 25th anniversary and included a new lower northeast map as well. There's a full radar loop up on the site and surface animation but i really can't find much on this storm so if anyone has any free use images or radar please post em here. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/feb-5-2001 On February 5, 2001, the Philadelphia area was hit by an unexpected snowstorm that trapped students in schools across the region. What began as a rainy morning quickly descended into chaos. By midday, the storm in~.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
