TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I feel like an ice storm in this area is pure fantasy. It just doesn’t happen. We are just close enough to the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today’s stake reading should put this year back in the all-time #1 position for this time of year since 1954. And it could be by like a half foot too.

We are just close enough to the ocean. Major ice storm set ups are tenuous at best. 1998 had a low stalled out over the lakes and high pressure in just the right place in Quebec. That’s what allowed a good fetch of gulf moisture to ride into the Arctic air for days., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most disruptive weather event I've experienced, and we only were dark for 4 days. 2nd place was another ice storm on the hills west/north from NYC, precisely 45 years prior to #1. Ice on Jan 8-9, 1953 wasn't quite as thick as '98 but almost every tree took damage in our NNJ area. Some trees on the taller hills became "asparagus" stems, bare poles with all branches lying at the stump. We lost power for 6 days from that one. The good effect was to trigger my lifelong interest in both weather and trees. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily in terms of total accumulation but just a constant light snow. I think I’ve got 5”-6” this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s more snow right now than the maximum depth of a non-trivial amount of winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was amazed by the damage just a quarter inch of ice could do after living on the South Shore where they aren't really a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
