anotherman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hard to read this without wanting another one of these to happen before winter is over. If we are talking about events I will never see again, last year's twin February blizzards were truly freakish and so uncommon. I am convinced that this area of the country will never see that much snow in a five day span ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester not only averages 70", but a 12-18" storm comes so easy for them, like several times each year. Even an awful SNE winter like 06-07 gave ORH 50" including an 18" storm in March.

Ji Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 I dont know....Boston is probably the best town in the US for storms. ORH is like the IAD of Boston but Boston location near the coast makes it a prime spot for deepening storms. Boston over ORH in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 For all the joy you guys received on Feb 10, 2010, it was one of the most painful busts here in recent memory. Models showed nearly an inch of qpf 6 hours before the storm started...the setup was good synoptically (a Miller B )...and then we got about 2-4" of snow across the region.

Yeah I hate the downtown area...everything you'd want to do around here is not in downtown...so that area is just a wasteland dump. But the north side and the west side of town are nice. Being 40 minutes to downtown Boston though is key if you actually want to go out in a city setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just that...the northern extent of it kind of got compressed more than modeled due to some extra confluence to the northeast. It could have easily been a big storm for SNE without screwing DC/BWI...but the northern edge almost got sheared off like someone taking a sickle to grass.

Last year was pretty amazing down in that region. That 12 day stretch from Jan 30-Feb10 is what is more historic than any storm down there IMHO. For those areas to see 40-60" in ten days is almost unfathomable if we hadn't actually seen it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are right. The storms themselves were impressive on their own merits, but the combination was pretty amazing. I have never in my life begged for the snow to stop, but with water running down the interior walls of two homes I cried uncle. Few around here care, but the snow out in Oakland was freaking insane and unlike anything I have ever seen. There were literally drifts up to the second story.
