40/70 Benchmark Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't agree with that totally. NNE has done ok..Sure they are below normal in snowfall..but at least they've had numerous nickel and dime events. That's what we have really missed is those 1-3 or 2-5 inchers. At least they've had those and a pretty extended period of snowpack. Dendrite has had a decent snowfall winter on up to Ekster..Not great..but not terrible like SNE. Powederfreak has been posting pictures of 20-40 inches of snow..so while below normal..at least it's winter. We've had nothing. I had a longer streak of snowpack OTG in October /early Nov than I have at any point this winter. It is the worst met winter ever for us. Worse than any in the 80's and I am old enough to remember those hideous yrs As bad as it has been there, you have me by a full 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than any in the 80's and I am old enough to remember those hideous yrs I'd take this winter over several others to this point...most recently '06-'07. I had 5.0" of snow at this point 5 years ago. '94-'95 and '88-'89 were horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 That's what she said At this point, I seriously would like to beat the 1980 futility record. I really won't take any solace in finishing with 26" as opposed to 19". Just give me something perversely interesting to ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'94-'95 and '88-'89 were horrendous. But you ended that winter with near 50 IIRC..We have nothing remotely interesting to look forward or think we'll have more chances.

'94-'95 and '88-'89 were horrendous. I was about to respond to his post saying 88-89 and 94-95 had to be worse, at least up til 2/1 in regards to snow, both were better after that somewhat.

'94-'95 and '88-'89 were horrendous. This winter had better do something soon, or else 06' will vault past it soon...at least in my area. Probably not in the areas that got blitzed in October.

CT Rain Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Key word"WINTER" If I lived where Scooter or Cweat live I'd be really depressed about this winter. After the most memorable KU of my life in October I really can't complain about anything this winter. It's been boring but we've had worse. And all of this is just a few months after an epic blockbuster in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Expanding further....maybe some of the early 70s duds were bad but I was in my 20s and my you know what was knocking down brick walls on its own.

And all of this is just a few months after an epic blockbuster in October. The October bomb was awesome for alot of us. It is hands down one my all time favorite winter storms..I understand why and how it counts as part of the winter snowfall..but from Dec-Feb which is what met winter is defined as it's most likely going to go down as one of the worst..if not # 1.

Yeah some places in SNE down along the S coast had a foot in January. So we've definitely seen much worse in terms of winters than this one.

mitchnick Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Our area has taken the worst of it, though. No one along the east coast can't compete with the negative anomaly with regard to snowfall from ne MA through Boston. idk what your averages are. but BWI averages 10.3" NOV-JAN and we have 1.3" which all "fell" in JAN that puts us at 12.62% of average you folks worse than that?

CoastalWx Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The October storm was epic for the interior. I know it was in October, but c'mon...that was a 1 in 200 maybe 300 yr event. Don't look past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
