that would be nice to save the season here, I believe I got about 2' in a week and a half period then...

well if verified would break 30 for me so I'm rootin!

I feel your pain man, that's why a few years ago I dug deep to find records from the closest station to me, and had to go month to month from 1932 onward to collect seasonal snow totals, now I want to elaborate on that, with rain, and LE of the snow, and I had to put in an order for the dataset, but it never opens, just get an error... this was the NCEI database, I just gave up and am glad I did what I did so I have some historical record for the area, part of my job is to reduce and organize data from qual testing and it's really not that difficult to maintain it, fact that it was once there is even more frustrating

TX definitely has some extreme wx, in the 90s I was in Houston for work a half dozen times and there was some wx anomaly four times, one heatwave, it snowed once and flooded from a tropical storm another, but the heat that time was insane, hottest I've ever felt... anyway, perhaps Wed can give me the .5" I need to top 30" on the season, honestly ready for spring at this point though, so much to do, and golf course openings.

being someone with non specific hyper hydration (sweat like a desert yeti), I hate when it gets high than 50 dews, and I had to spend the last two Aug in south florida testing, ugh, but 75 and dry is ideal for me anyway, my wife loves that hot humid crap...was out in PHX a couple years ago and it was 110, but dry, still hot but nothing like Houston at 110/75! that was nuts

seriously dude, three times this season I had driveway glacier issues, I remember this happened I want to say 00-01? where it was just constantly chopping ice in driveway and walks

was my #1 in Waterbury, until I dug into the records for around here, it was #3 here at 153.2", behind 60-61 158.4, and 55-56 at an incredible 177.4, 66-67 was close 4th at 152.5, and 96-97 was the last 100"+ season here.

on a brigher note, I only need.2" to top 30"....

ripping quite nicely right now, too bad the best snow rates this season have been squall or fropa events...pfft

95-96 was just an epic season period, wall to wall storms... one of the all time best here.

so, even the clown maps show less than 6" until the ides, I'll pass and just take warmth if that's the case, season is getting long in the tooth for sustained cold, though it has happened, but prognosis don't look good, meh I'm not even half to climo, so at this point want to get on with spring activities if it ain't gonna march 56 us...

if this truly was the last significant measurable snow, then below 30" here for the second time in 10 years, and below 40 for the third, there was a few AN and about avg, winters sprinkled in, but damn... first two winters after moving up here were epic, 90+", had one that came close since, this is a 9 year span now

no prob, there's someone else on this forum from torrington, though I don't see post much, white( something), lawns maybe??

keep it for now let me look at my obs, and I'll get back to you, I mean it's not like we're talking about inches here, but maybe I mistyped one of my obs in the spreadsheet, I've got hand notes too to backup

is that 29.3 for my obs? it's a bit off what I have, not by much but perhaps I mistyped or missed a small event, my obs data has me at 28.5" on the season, including this past event... I haven't gotten on the snow obs thread yet to enter my obs, gotta get on that, hard to do from phone and usually when I'm in my office I primarily focus on work stuff

as I stated before, did an interesting read on that season, in particular that march, good article from Blue Hill observatory about the three storms that March that made it epic, you maybe a few others on here are probably the only ones who actually experienced that month and period from then to the early 70s, where it was as we say, winters of yore. us slightly younger folk begin our winter starting with 77-78 for me anyway, we've had some pretty good March winters in my lifetime, but those 15 or so years had some really good ones, a lot of clipper redevelopment type ones too

I'm with you here, unless March delivers epicocity, get on with spring, I know the chickens certainly want spring to come, first year with them, lost one and had to give the rooster away, but they're producing all winter, ready for growing now too...

would be nice if we can get a replay of march 56, or when was it 2018?, where we had like 3 noreasters within the month

is the 3rd off the table now? I'm having issues loading model data

yeah does sound trippy, but for real, waves man...

dude, finally someone who gets it, it's all wavelengths man, even traffic moves in waves, I've finally gotten my wife to understand this too, and reasons why we either get along with people or don't because of phase shift... anyway back to weather, wind is roaring here now, definitely looks and feels like winter out there, 25/17 with 15 sustained and a 25 gust last five minutes

definitely cyclical because I was looking at other data from another station further away a bit, with longer data history and prior to when the one closest began recording and the almost sinewave like pattern is present, goes up comes down, and some anomalies in between, but overall, peaks and valleys, sun activity perhaps, interesting read about the winter of 55-56, where there were like three big noreasters within two weeks, that year was the biggest here with 177", I obviously didn't take that data but that began the period of over 100" winters until like 71-72 where it tapered off some, interesting stuff

the 80s actually weren't that bad for this particular locale, had some decent seasons, I wasn't here of course but the obs from the station I made the list from averaged over 80" for the decade..90s were a bit more, the oughts were a bit less, then the teens were rising but lower than 90s and 80s, if that makes sense, now we're off to a crappy start to this decade... we'll see what happens next few weeks, I just want spring at this point, get to planting

yeah since 13-14, we've had 3 legit ratters here, I mean under 35", the first two winter here were awesome, had like 30" pack, and 8' piles, but yea, been a tough stretch

yeah man, have a feeling we don't see much more this season, just one of those years, need 1.5 to crack 30 here, some in the subforum got that in one shot in the blizzard, shows just how diverse the weather is in NE, more specifically SNE, such a difference for such a small distance, this I noticed really well when I moved to Winsted from Waterbury, nearly double the snowfall
