Kaner587 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Jb is analoging someone is going to have to pull up the re-analysis maps to actually judge the similarity, but in terms of impact it was a 10-20in storm DC-BOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harv_poor Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Jb is analoging 9 th grade . In central NJ, on Monday we had a cold front come through that dropped about three inches of snow. Early dismissal. Tuesday morning we woke up to blizzard conditions that lasted from about 8 AM until 2 PM. Heavy, snow fell while the temparture was about 10 or 12 degrees and the winds howled. About a foot of snow fell. Since the worse of the storm was suppose to come in the afternoon, the schools were open. i was told by a friend whose mother was a teacher that the local junior high had only one student show-up- On Thursday, another storm was forecast but it went OTS although the boardwalk of Atlantic City got a couple of inches. I think the local schools were closed the whole week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Interesting because as soon as I saw the set up for Friday, I thought of that system. Very similar. It caused blizzard (old school definition) conditions for many areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I remember that year very well...It was mild on Sunday 2/5/67..It was 58 on 2/2 with wet snow after a cold front passed...The temperature was on a roller coaster ride that week...Monday morning there was a quick 2-3" of snow and much colder temperatures...The snow ended before noon and the Sun was visible in the Afternoon and at least half of it melted...By midnight it was cloudy again and snow started after midnight...The temperatures were in the low teens most of the time and was nine when the storm ended...The temperature dropped to six the next morning...Then it got milder before another arctic shot hit...The roller coaster continued as temperatures thawed to 60 a few days later...

Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 February 1967 was apparently an incredible month in my neck of the woods (13 years before I was born). February 10-11,1967 saw an incredible cold front pass through Ontario, and I'm presuming the US northeast as well. We also saw a fair amount of snow.

I was Sr. at Hamilton High West, I remember riding with my cousin and some friends up around Hopewell diving of his car into snow drifts with no regard for a fence post or some other hard object that might be hidden under massive snow drifts; crazy teenagers.

BlizzardNole Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This must be why I am such an incurable snow weenie - I was born in MD on Feb 6, 1967 LOL!.

tamarack Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've seen several times a 15.2" snowfall reported as a single storm for NYC 2/6-7/67, but as several have noted, it was two distinct events. The initial CF burst turned roads to instant ice as the early wet flakes reacted to temps diving thru the 20s. On my commute, one touch of the brakes sent the vehicle ahead, mine, and the one behind sliding into the ditch, with minor non-damaging bumps between #2 and #3, and we all drove out okay. That dropped about 3.5" at my NNJ home. Next morning had blz conditions, +SN with temp 5F, coldest I ever saw heavy snow in NJ - closest to it was 1/19-20/61, when most of our 20" from that storm fell at temp 10-12F. The 2nd act in 2/67 gave us 15" of unpackable powder - even snowtires wouldn't crimp it enough for traction. That was a great winter, with thundersnow on 12/24 (1st I ever heard), just over 30" in 3 months, Dec, Feb, and Mar, then 3" snow on 4/27, and 102" for the winter. Only 60-61 challenges it for snowiest winter I saw in NNJ (and tho I wasn't recording snowfall in 60-61, memory plus other location data comes to 102-105" for that winter.)

RIC Airport Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 5.6" at Richmond from that storm. There was another storm February 9-10, 1967 that gave us 6.4". That February was a decent month for snowfall with 17.1" officially at RIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
