  3. you like my sig? it took me a while with the colors and is for king 's only.
  4. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful Christmas Eve!
  5. My #2 all time favorite. An event that lasted Sunday afternoon until almost midnight on Tuesday. Forecast was a bust and we still got about 12-18 statewide. I remember watching NBC30 while in VT when watches just went up. I believe Bob Maxon had 24-36" in the NW hills, 18-24" for central CT and 12-18" for southern and SE CT. I also remember Paul Kocin talking about this is likely going to be the biggest storm in over 50 years (prob a ref. to the blizzard 1947). This was a huge bust for the cities, Central Park only received 3.5" and Boston received 9.8". Both those cities i believe were in the 1-2 foot range maybe 3 feet. This was a huge interior event with southern NH, VT and NY getting up to 3 feet. My #1 all time coming soon... One of the cleaner, esthetically speaking, looking maps I've made.
  6. Green grass here. Birds chirping, kids playing in open fire hydrants, sounds of ice cream trucks driving by and my neighbor has his pool open.
  7. LOL at least you got plowable snow. This was a non-event for me. I remember being jealous I had like 1" of slush, glop, liquid snow that barely coated the grass and decks but left the roads and driveways bare but my step father in Meriden had 7".
  8. If that's a deep pack then I'm Elvis.
  9. Compared to our normal average and storms >10" we have been very lucky these past 5 seasons in the New Haven County area. Past 5 Seasons Totals: 2014-2015: 67.4" (Well Above) 2015-2016: 37.5" (Near Normal) 2016-2017: 51.8" (Well Above) 2017-2018: 59.1" (Well Above) 2018-2019: 28.7" (Slightly Below) 5 Year Average: 48.9" Normal Season Average: ~35" Past 5 Seasons # of Storms >10" 2014-2015: 1 (Feb 2nd 11.5") 2015-2016: 2 (Jan 24th 14.4" Feb 5th 10.4") 2016-2017: 1 (Feb 8th 14.5") 2017-2018: 2 (Jan 4th 11.8" Mar 7th 13.5") 2018-2019: 1 (Mar 4th 11.5") 5 Year Average: 1.4 storms >10" Normal: N/A
  10. Gross. that storm makes me want to vomit. I still have nightmares to this day.
  11. PNS statements, you can really see the elevation part of it. Wolcott/Waterbury are very hilly towns probably a lot of reports ranging a great deal.
  12. 2010s id have to say. Storms in the 24-40" range in 2011 and 2013 of which the 2000s had none. As a kid i was definitely more impacted by the 2000s though. I experienced my first thundersnow which was epic CG. And experienced my first 12"+ snow that i can vividly remember as well as the 54 hour epic Mar 4-6th event.
  13. The elevation snow storm of 2006. The map doesn't really do the elevation part justice but it was a very anamolous event for CT. Snow totals varied drastically over just a couple hundred feet up or down. I remember getting virtually white rain all day that only accumulated to about 1" of pure glop probably close to a 1:1 ratio snow. Roads were just wet, driveways wet, grass was slightly covered, overall pretty lame. I drove up just a few miles north to Wallingford/Meriden around 300ft elevation and they had 7" with plows going by, snow blowers going, it was like winter wonderland. Some CT towns in New Haven and Fairfield county varied as much as 10" in a single town alone from up high around 500-600ft to near sea level snow amounts ranged from 1-10".
  14. I wouldnt call that a big dog, we had 7" but in March we had a major storm that covered most of interior CT with 10-15" i believe we got around 11 that storm
  15. Still better than the 50s and 60s it was on Eve and Day 2014 and 2015.
  16. Whenever the next 18-30" storm is forecast
  17. I can explain why i missed every single monster storm since 2000 but i doubt anyone really cares. Fate is just against me to experience a monster storm i.e. 20+ or 24+ or 30+ or even 40" The biggest storms ive ever experienced were just over 11" for example Feb 01, Mar 01, Feb 06, Feb 15, Jan 16, Feb 16, Feb 17, Jan 18, Mar 18, Mar 19...all those storms were 11-15" Feb 01 is my #1 all time Mar 01 is #2
  18. We've had a bunch here but as luck would have it, i missed them ALL, lol.
  19. For sure, i just think the radar and overall distribution was about as close as you can get. I believe 2016 ranks 4th all time on the NESIS scale and it's a Cat 4. Cat 5 on the RSI scale.
  20. I love the way they used to word ZFPs back in the 90s and early 00s. So bad ass...just seemed, i dunno, much more human sounding.
  21. That snowfall distribution is very similar to Jan 2016 blizzard
  22. which one? Jan 11th 2011? That was the big one for CT. 26th-27th was smaller.
