Kbosch Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I don't like the tone of this discussion It might...even if its not perfect, you can get those events where he has 5" with a crap ton of sleet and we'll have 8-10"...but this is looking like CT's year. Said it before and I'll say it again...maybe as soon as next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma blizzard Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 wouldnt mind a vd 07 calibar sleet storm to reinforce this snow pack and make it bullet-proof .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yeah, like I said, as long as we are still doing great and not smoking cirrus every storm, I don't care if they go historic on us...they deserve a good one after the screw jobs they've gotten. You can even go back to '00-'01 too. If Kevin had lived in Tolland back then, he would have went insane watching what happened just to his northeast in ORH county and SW NH. I do think we'll see some more typical Nina events which will allow us to close the gap a bit as you said, but I'm sure if it will be enough. Even if we do close the gap and get similar totals...still a better winter there relative to climo. How much did Tolland have in 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 wouldnt mind a vd 07 calibar sleet storm to reinforce this snow pack and make it bullet-proof .. Amen....I was lucky in that, though.....8\10 times I won't remain below freezing in those types of deals; that arctic high was on juice. I never sniffed freezing....I hit like 26, while rt 128 hit 32-33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 One thing this storm was great for...it ensured we weren't in the middle of a 1980s/early 1990s style "big one" drought. We got the "since Jan 2005" monkey off the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I actually stayed a hair colder in this one, than I did in Dec 2005.....I hit like 32* in that one....maybe even 33.....topped off at 31, today.

We are due to break the streak of cruddy Marches. 2007 was a decent March but not what you would call a great March. I know you have been saying we get a bomb in March....would be a great finish to a great winter assuming we can rack up some good events between now and then.

Ironically, this storm will barely register on the NESIS scale for a KU. It didn't hammer much of the populated areas. Probably a cat 1. But that isn't unusual...April 1997 was a cat 1 too.

I do respect that the scale incorporates far more than mby, though and have no problem with that rating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize BOS was already over 40"...I keep forgetting they got over 18" in the 12/26 event. 40.4" on the season. Jerry's 73" might verify, lol.

ORH_wxman Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ORH airport just came in their total....21.1" 1.5" more than my 19.6" but nothing out of the ordinary (and my total is obviously subject to error within an inch at the least anyway in a storm this big and with wind)...certainly not for being 4 miles away. Surrounding obs support it from towns like Millbury and Shrewsbury. Its a notable total though, because the difference between my total and theirs moves it into a top 10 snowstorm of all time. New top ten list: 1. Mar 31-Apr1, 1997...33.0" 2. Dec 11-12, 1992......32.1" 3. Dec 7-8, 1996.........26.3" 4. Feb 22, 1893..........25.0" 5. Feb 14, 1962..........24.7" 6. Feb 12-14, 1899......24.5" 7. Jan 22-23, 2005.......24.1" 8. Mar 3, 1960............22.1" 9. Mar 4-6, 2001.........22.0" 10. Jan 11-12, 2011....21.2" 11. Feb 17-18, 2003....20.8" 12. Feb 5-7, 1978........20.2" 13. Mar 13-14, 1993....20.1" I made an erroneous post earlier saying that 20.2" had been the 10th place total...but it was actually 11th (now 12th with this current new update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It was also the first 20" snowstorm officially at the airport since January 2005...and makes 8 20" snowstorms in the past 19 winters since December 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I could go for a March '05 repeat. That was the last truly great March here IMHO. I think we had 25" or so and we had a great "positive bust" on March 12, 2005. Got nearly a foot of snow when 3-5" was forecasted. We are certainly due, but of course that doesn't mean anything. I think we'll see the active pattern continue though. We may have more risk of ptype issues in the near future, but its sometimes the price to pay for an active pattern. Hopefully we remain on the cold side of the boundary coming up next and we see mostly snow. I still can't believe BDL getting 25" of snow...thats almost impossible for them.

skierinvermont Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 would it be correct to say that the KU book only includes high 2s+ on NESIS (not including the near miss section of course)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it has April 1997 in the main chapter despite it only being a cat 1. I think it has Feb 1995 in the main section too. edit: Feb 1995 was a cat 2...so that doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 3-12-05 the flash freeze storm? That was a great March..even got a nice event at the end on the 24th. I had 18" total. Since then every March has pretty much sucked here. March '07 was okay got 8". Then got shutout in March '08, had 3/2 in '09, and another shutout last March. Yeah that's incredible that BDL got 25" (if they really did). I suppose it is possible..didn't it snow the majority of the day there? I was just far enough west that I didn't have any additional accumulation after 10 AM.
