Damage In Tolland Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It's honestly been 10 yrs or so since we've had something this bad and then before that you have to go back to the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It's honestly been 10 yrs or so since we've had something this bad and then before that you have to go back to the 80's. Short memory....2006 was even worse than this as hard as it is to believe....and then it got even worse before it got better...places hit 70F in early Jan 2007. The pattern finally flipped late that month after some see-sawing in mid-month. But Dec 2006 was absolutely horrific. So is this month, but at least we had an October monster...2006 had nothing before December. It was also even warmer than this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember pouring concrete for a foundation while in a tee shirt in early January. Freaky weird but you felt the penulum would swing and it did.

TalcottWx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I think that an overly pessimistic woe is me attitude is as contemptable as a weenie goggle attitude. Thank you.

codfishsnowman Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I forgot about 94-95...wow that winter was so bad in the cp...one big storm in feb that still changed over or mixed lol and then I remember 3 inches of heavy wet snow one Saturday In April..and that was it..I think I just cracked twenty inches for the whole season in Bristol CT I rember it was often dry and mild and windy though and I remember almost never being able to not go out due to the weather.

I don't rememmber that winter being as bad as this one looks wire to wire. I remember that awful December and wearing shorts in Jan..but this winter may end up worse. I don't recall how Feb was that year. I'm sure March was lost since it's no longer a winter month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure March was lost since it's no longer a winter month Vday 2007 had the sleet storm (sleet and snow mix up here), then it had the week at the end of the month where it snowed like every day including the Feb 22-23 norlun event. March did have the St. Pattys day storm...my biggest snow of the season at 13.5". We had like 44" of snow after Feb 1st that year so it was a good finish but not enough to overcome the horrific start. We do not know what will happen in January so its too early to call anything. January 2006 had about the worst pattern I've ever seen but I ended up with 2 feet of snow that month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Worse than Dec 2011? For January, the first 2/3 were. That winter sucked azz for me, but it ended on a better note for the interior where Will was and points west and north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of the reasons I still have hope for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We had a fropa with severe wx cross through the area in early Jan 2007..that's how bad it was. I at least had a bit of measurable in Dec 2006. I have a T to show for this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Mark's a poet But didn't know it But his feet show it Longfellows, aren't they? Clippahs coming. New Year, new winter. New attitude. Well thank you Eric. Others have commented on the size of my feet...but we'll leave it at that. actually it was a throwback to JBs little poem a couple of years ago about a clipper being the end of winter in the east.

ORH_wxman Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Well at least the 18z GFS is a little further south on the 30th. Yeah trended toward the Euro idea the last few runs. Hopefully we can keep it like that was we get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston-winter08 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 if we extrapolate the 00z NAM... it would probably be flurries THU night-friday am and a good shot of snow with the intensify s/w shooting south of NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trend on the Euro and ensembles has been decent and hopefully we will have something legit to track in the next 24 hours if we keep the trend on our side which has been a tough thing to do this season.
