CT Rain Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Moved here in April '96 would have loved to have seen that 93-94 too was about on par with 95-96 haha The thing about 93-94 is that it was such a classic winter with one week in February that just crushed the shoreline.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I had a feeling it wasn't the same horrible screwhole situation like we had for you earlier this year... For whatever reason you were last to fill in. More of God playing games with your mind. Still think you get ****showed later on. I'm staying up. Might have to dip into beverages like some other prestigious members here to add to the undeniable entertainment. When you have any kind of low level convergence nearby, it makes you more prone to subsidence.....sometimes it's fleeting, sometimes it really kills you....other times it's intermittent. The oes is low level convergence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well my max depth in 96 was probably close to 28 or 30" (on the shoreline) but it melted in like a week. I've had >12" forever this time! I think we have 15" OTG before this storm so once again we'll be back up around 2 feet. We are going to be ripping for hours...the radar is sick over us.

skierinvermont Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I think max depth is a big determinant. Agreed.. that's definitely the #1 determinant followed by consistent snowpack. Just did a quick measurement at least 16" snowpack.. no more than 3" to go to top my record. And LE is probably already my highest since this is old stuff and the old record was just freshies from 12/19/10 and another ~19" storm from I think '05? You guys probably scoff at 16" but that is HUGE for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbosch Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This is more exciting than the HECS for me and it's right up there with Boxing Day. It has the same snow with a little less wind. That gust before rivaled anything we saw that night. The two-part aspect really added to the fun here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Here's channel 4's wrap at 11pm and for some reason Letterman just RIPPED the NWS/NOAA. He did a skit on the watch/warning system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ripping here...better snow growth. 27F Might not be up for long...just as the storm gets good I get yelled at for being up at 12 for the "8th snowstorm this year." Radar looks awesome. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowLove Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 8-14" for some areas of ema... I think bigtime totals.. spc mesoanalysis site has biggest numbers of the winter for banding and fronto.. gung hoooooooooooo really not convinced on that one. I mean, yeah, banding could be OK, but we'd really really have to rip every hour and I think 5-9 " looks reasonable right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had >12" forever this time! I think we have 15" OTG before this storm so once again we'll be back up around 2 feet. That is why if I get near the 27" max depth I had that winter, this one will beat it because we don't have a torch coming on the heels of it. I had about 19-20" to start.

CT Rain Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 We are going to be ripping for hours...the radar is sick over us. Well I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if things came to a halt quickly after 1 a.m. All the models are really showing this crashing east at that point. So I'm still cautious.

Sey-Mour Snow Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This is more exciting than the HECS for me and it's right up there with Boxing Day. It has the same snow with a little less wind. That gust before rivaled anything we saw that night. The two-part aspect really added to the fun here. this will be the best storm of the year for me just because I finally got into one of the mega bands!! pushing 8 maybe 9" by now and the end is not in sight yet.. this should pass boxing day and come close to 1/12..

Hoping this thing halts for as long as possible...still really haven't seen much in the way of an eastward jog with the precip shield which is good. I'll be going out in 12 min to measure.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 RUC sounding would have it changing over here between 12 and 1. It's borderline as it is at 12...so it should be any time now.
