George001 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The crazy thing is after this threat there’s more. There is another threat gearing up day 10 on the Euro. It’s not a frigid pattern, but it’s a cold enough and stormy one with lots of chances on the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t out here then but I’ve always found that storm pretty hilarious. 4” in Greenfield but 40” if you went 30mi E or W. Perhaps the greatest downsloping of all time for the CRV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the greatest downsloping of all time for the CRV. Basically, bare ground in Agawam where I worked. I was really surprised on my ride home when I got to the high spot-on Route 20 in Brimfield, and it was blizzard conditions. This was pre internet and pre cell phone days, so I had no idea what was going on East, pleasant surprise that Friday night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Findley Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I lived in Woonsocket, RI at the time. My father in laws mom passed away. The wake Friday night was heavy windy rain. The funeral Saturday turned to heavy windy snow. By the time the mass ended and we went to the cemetery there was 6" of snow already on the ground. Wires and tree branches down everywhere. Woonsocket ended up with 2 feet. Drive just a few miles south or east and totals dramatically dropped off. 2" of rain to 2 feet of snow. Can't believe they went through with the funeral precession! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just see it now, distinct possibility that between tomorrow’s storm and next week, the Rt 2 corridor and N will be sitting at < 2” for the seven day period. Plenty of time to change though. I just like to keep my expectations in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the most frustrating storm I've ever experienced. We had about 16 inches in Granby, but head down rt20 to east Granby and there was pretty much nothing. I've seen this several times over the years, but this was the most insane transition! From a foot to an inch within a couple miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 1 hour ago, weathafella said: That 1992-93 was a great winter-deep pack late January into April. In our area it was a meh 1st half of winter and a weenie's dream 2nd half. Both my (then) residence in Gardiner and the Farmington co-op had only patches OG in late January. Then we had 84" at our place from Jan 29 thru March 24, with 31" pack after the Superstorm (despite us getting "only" 10.3" from 1.70" LE thanks to a warm tongue producing gritty stuff). That 31" was the greatest depth in our 13 winters at Gardiner. Farmington recorded 97" in Feb/March and their "T" depth climbed to 56", tied (with 1971) for their 2nd greatest pack in the 82 winters with depth records. We'll watch SNE get some white stuff while we finally have some seasonal cold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I thought gfs looked fine notwithstanding the details. Better holding HP and colder overall. Remember this is 6+ days away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elevation and one degree made a big difference in that one. That's the one that got me excited about winter again after a decade plus of not much. I bought a 4-wheel drive pickup that winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
