HoarfrostHubb Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 In no particular order, and I'm probably going to forget a few... The long duration torch - 11 months of AOA normal temps, finally dying in December ... Jerry's ****ing elephant Ginx's Imaginary Flood - Late March flooding in SRI that cost my mom $25,000, and she doesn't live along the Pawatuck - Mundane Rain January Windex - A Beast from the West, howling, lightning flashing, snow that dropped 2.5" in 25 minutes Hotter than a Firecracker brutal heat July 5-8 February Surprise - a decent 10-12" snowfall IMBY when the mets said 3" Feb 27 Epic Perdestrian Boxing Day Blizzard - only game me 9", but great to hear of top 10 snows in BOS, mighty winds July 19 Supercell that almost produced a tornado in N ORH county Add your events!

Kbosch Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The June 24th Bridgeport tornado that was less than 5 miles from me and brought hurricane force winds. I still see the habitat damage in southern Stratford every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Not SNE, but...The highlights of 2010 might be that there were no highlights, no big snowstorms, essentially zero +SN until an hour or two yest pre-dawn, no TS beyond weak despite more svr forecasts than any other year in memory, no real cold, no record heat despite some notable warmth. Having 46 consecutive above normal days (2/8 thru 3/25) with 20 in a row +10 or milder is probably the most noteworthy "event". My 12.5 yr records show no other streaks, above or below avg, longer than about 25 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 • Craptastic winter after MLK • Three tornados in my county, including one two miles to my west which may have dissipated as it went over my house • The hyped blizzard in which my hours-spent-online-per-inch-accumulation ratio was astronomical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWMan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 * The year of the retrograding Maritime low * Winter essentially ending in late February * Warm, dry summer * Ending the year with a glancing blow from yet another "epic" snowstorm that clobbered areas south of here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 For my backyard... The early Jan retrograde fail. I got a few inches from part 1 of the event and then was downsloped for part 2 The Jan 28 WINDEX squall line. 2.2" here and the only legit measurable snow here from 1/21-2/15. Behind it followed the only below 0F temp of my 2010 A surprise overnight 7.4" of wet snow Feb 24 Feb 25-26 rain/wind storm. Not-so-much for the wind here, but talking to my mom on the phone in MHT while the 60mph gusts roared through. The Early Spring thaw allowing for a warm late Mar/early Apr Snow flurries on May 9 May 26 hailstorm Early July heatwave and the warm July as a whole Boxing Day snowstorm with 13" here followed by the highest wind gust I've recorded (48mph) And then overall, just how warm 2010 was as a whole. I haven't done number crunching for climo sites, but my home station data is showing a 2010 avg temp of 48.2F with only a few days to go. Assuming CON is a little warmer than me, as usual, that would put 2010 close to the warmest calendar year on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming CON is a little warmer than me, as usual, that would put 2010 close to the warmest calendar year on record. CAR is set to obliterate their warmest year record, data back thru 1939. Thru 12/27, 2010 is averaging 44.41 there, and the old record set in 1999 is 42.39. (2006 might be a tad higher but SEP is missing.) They may cool their Dec avg enough to drop the gap between #1 and #2 to a bit under 2F, but that still is a monumental beat-down, about the same gap as between #2 and #11. The 44.41 is 5.05 above the 1971-2000 average. Only have Farmington data thru 12/15, but they're 2010 avg is 46.35, and looks pretty solid for 3rd warmest. 1931 is tops with 46.67, 1953 at 46.45, and 1949 the only other one over 46, but barely at 46.04. This year is a contender, but nothing like what's happened up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Well last winter was pretty horrible for me, not only from a weather standpoint so I'll just go into this spring/summer: -March flooding and the wind event May 26th severe wx!!!!! Two severe t'storms in a span of an hour, tornado in VT, incredible lightning. June 5th/June 6th tornado watch weekend!!! Was INSIDE the microburst that occurred at BDL and the next day saw a funnel cloud...which I failed to get a picture of. The Bridgeprot tornado on June 26th. July 21st...ALL TIME RECORD of 4 tornadoes in one day for the state of CT and total of 7 for the event (3 in ME). The two tornadoes and macroburst in Queens, NY area in September Chasing Earl on the Cape and almost getting hypothermia. Then of course...this past blizzard...watching the entire process for about a week and learning a crap load about winter wx and winter wx forecasting.
