Ginx snewx Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Tolland..They live at 818 feet..but south of I-84 whereas I'm north of it. They lost limbs in the Dec 92 storm but nothing like this Have any other snow totals come in for Union? Stafford? Tolland?

Damage In Tolland Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Have any other snow totals come in for Union? Stafford? Tolland? Your 12 report is the only one I have seen over 9 according to the Box report. Ryan got a report from their official Wx watcher they use in Tolland who also posts on this board and lives at 900 feet. He had 12 inches even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Even up in NH...there was a clear difference between an area of bare trees and the areas that had oaks that still had leaves on them. The leafed out trees were damaged, while the areas that had bare trees weren't damaged too much other than a limb here or there down. I know even down there, some trees that were bare took a beating, but pretty clear that is was the leafed out trees that got destroyed. Oaks have got to be the most destructive and hardest to clear when they do fall. Looks like some areas lost hundreds of years worth of tree growth.

Ginx snewx Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 According to Doug Glowacki, the state weather adviser at the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection there are no records of any October snowstorm matching the depth and areal coverage of this storm. We witnessed Met history for inhabitated CT history. Although two ‘Snow Hurricanes’ occurred in 1804 and 1841, respectively neither of these storms matched the snowfall amounts from the October Northeaster of 2011,” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No references to any thing more widespread and as deep in any of our Native American archives here either. What a rare storm, great to be part of history.

What a rare storm, great to be part of history. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if something inthe 1600s or 1700s came close in CT but we don't really have anything on record that comes close. Amazing. The fact that this shattered so many records by such a large margin shows you what a low return time something like this has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Who knows how long it's been since we saw something like this. The records from the 1700s etc always seemed exaggerated anyways.

CoastalWx Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Based on what I hear...it sounds like Oct 29-30 should be there at the top for some. Maybe not because of total snow..but the impacts that went along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not because of total snow..but the impacts that went along with it. Yeah the shotgun blasts, 10 days without power, epic damage, a foot snow depth on an October morning is just insane. For most anomalous storm of my life this has got to be it. I can't think of another "storm" that is this rare for my backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummed I miss some of that epic-ness that you guys had, but the April Fool's storm is my #1 for me. This probably goes for many around these parts.

Nov 89, Feb 94, Jan 96, Apr 97, Presidents Day 03 (in PSU), Feb 06, Jan 11, Oct 11 Oct 11 easy for me. While they don't grow on trees big Dec to Mar storms are still somewhat common. Storms like Jan 11, Feb 03, while they are great and I'd take another in a heartbeat, they are still common enough that they don't stand out. One can go back 100 years and find 20-30 or more storms that are comparable. There is nothing that compares to this last storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This probably goes for many around these parts. That 1997 storm is unprecedented for Boston metro in its own right. Nothing comes close to having a 30 inch snowstorm in April on the coastal plain even going back to the 1800s from what we have...even right down to the water at Logan airport. This October storm was definitely more anomalous though on a regional scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
