The 4 Seasons

Looking like a nice 1 to maybe 2" refresher tonight here if were lucky. Save the HRRR, every model pretty much clips us with an ~1". We're going C-1 for far S CT locally up to 2" right along the beaches.

Good catch. i Just went back did some investigating. I didn't make an error. All my numbers do add up to 9.7". However it seems JFK changed their original report from the 1/19 storm from 2.2 to 1.6. That would decrease the amount from 9.7 to 9.1 which is what they officially have. I have no idea why they changed it for the official report after or it is an error. Also youll not that NYC recorded 1.6" for that event. I bet it was a book keeping error and they entered the NYC report of 1.6 for that 1/19 event instead of 2.2. I think ill tweet them when i have some time and let them know. Either they changed it for some reason or its an error. The fact its exactly the same as the NYC report from that date is also suspicious. Leads me to believe its an error

Seems kinda low no? Even BDR has more as well as all surrounding locations. maybe you are missing some small 0.1-0.9" events?

Thanks... yea Year To Date kinda impies just this year, so i say STD...Season To Date. i get the double entendre -ha

yea thats what i have except for the very high elevation areas that are like 1200-1500FT around Orange/Sussex counties I just added yours

@EastonSN+ u got a STD #?

We take the trends on the GFS & GEM for sure

And really high snowfall storms with low impacts due to timing, not much wind and just a fluff bomb are probably Feb 2006 and Jan 2011

i wouldnt disagree for impacts, but in terms of snow 78 doesnt even touch 2013.

good ole reliable and consistent NAM

RIP to any snow on the 18Z EC + 00Z NAMs

yeah i dont believe anything the nam is selling good or bad, the model is pure trash, just commenting on what its showing, well see what the globals do in the next couple hours

The NAM/3K with a pretty sizable jump north for tomorrow night. Probably be a couple/few inches along 95 for CT.

Quite a bit actually. Some of these didn't affect SNE in a big way but even taking those out there's been 10-15 or so in the past 10 years that are Cat 1 or higher. Last one was probably Jan 28-29 2022.

gotta be the best CT storm overall since 1888. i dont think anything really comes close

Simple. It was the best looking/clean map of the tri-state area i could find on google that i was able to edit in photoshop. It looked just like that map that you linked from the wikipedia article, it had Pike county in there but i deleted it because it looked weird. Also that link you sent literally has warren county ommited in the picture on that page LOL "Map of the metropolitan divisions (MDs) of the New York metropolitan area and the additional counties that make up the New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT-PA CSA, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2021[6]"

Im updating the season to date map today so if anyone has any reports from CT MA or RI let me know

Do you remember how big the flake size was at the start? It's one of the things i remember the most about that storm and read a lot of similar accounts. They were like baseball sized flakes for like the first hour (aggies sticking together). And then the CG thunder snow/sleet at sunset was unreal. A bolt struck my neighbors backyard and was incredibly loud, haven't seen anything that good. But have seen thundersnow a lot since then. Feb 03, Feb 13, Feb 17, Mar 18 also had thundersnow here.

I'll likely being doing an update to the season-to-date snowfall map so if anyone has an accurate total and wants to be included let me know, thanks. (please include your location)

is that on the map? probably just barely makes it toward the bottom there in Ocean right?

Yeah, 6"/hr and frequent CG lightning during the day would be something to behold. Closest thing i've seen during the day would be Feb 2001.

One of the best storms for CT in the past 10 years (other than Feb 1 2021). Lots of thunder snow and 2-3" daytime rates
