A solid 6 week period is what I'd be happy with. Wire to wire here SNE is almost impossible to achieve... Thank you. I don’t think they exist either. He was talking like they do exist. They don’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I not evaluate the great wire to wire 60’s winters because I was born in 1972? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid December to mid March… with nothing but cold and snow the whole way…? Give me a break. And if there is one of those..there’s probably only one, since records have been kept anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it were to repeat at this day and age, this board would be filled with complaints of the lack of any true biggies! Lots more light to moderate events with a couple of +10" storms across CT... Feb. 1971 only saw 8.4" at BDL... December 70 was great month with 27", but only 1 big event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIT would be saying what he was saying in 14-15…nickels and dimes, and complaining to high heaven. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but wasn’t the PAC jet virtually a destructive influence for every significant winter storm chance we had? 25 minutes ago, dendrite said: “Wow…the 71st straight day of snow. Woke up to 4” this morning. Didn’t expect it” My wife almost lost it after having to clean more snow off her car after work today. Some of her coworkers live at lower elevation and haven’t seen anything this fall. I told her that’s how we know we picked the right location. WXW2 has nearly reached my abysmal 2024-25 total in less than two weeks time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really hard to measure so hard to say the magnitude of the impact. It probably played some role. It was hard to really amplify ridges over the Rockies last winter. I’m sure there was a level of poor “luck” involved too in the sub-synoptic wavelengths. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the early 90s great winters came close to wire to wire. Every time it warmed up it was brief with a cold front with squalls ending it. Will probably remembers the year, I want to say 93-94.
