Anyone have the stats from this event? I was in 5th grade and I woke up at 4 in the morning shocked at what I was seeing. It was the heaviest wind driven wet snow I had ever seen up till that point in my life. Newport had around 10 inches.

Late February 1999 for SE New England was a surprise for many.

My favorite was February 1994. Back to back double digit snow events on the south coast over the course of less than 72 hours.

Good one.

Both were overrunning events without significant surface LPs and yet the south coast didn't mix.

Feb 11 1994 was a snow bomb for the New England south coast. That was a good 10-15" there. Even up to the pike got 6-10 iirc.

I went t a funeral in Sharon that day. It took 5 hours toget back home...20 miles. Driving down there at the beginning of the storm was awesome passing by Wollaston Beach the ocean frozen as far as far as the eye can see.

I'm not sure which event in Feb that would be. 2007 had the sleet storm on Vday, but there was a norlun event on Feb 22-23 that year that dropped a solid 4-6" in Windham county and up through this area.

Feb 22, 2008 was a pretty good event, you might have been thinking of that one too.

Damn you're good...

Could have been either one, not the vday storm though. It was heavy snow, not a memorable total, but it came down stupid hard for a few hours.

I recall a Thanksgiving storm had to be 87-91 timeframe. Going from Somerville trying to get to the SS. Roads almost impassable had to turn around.

The rest of the winterI I believe crapped out. :lmao:

I remember a good Thanksgiving storm in '90. Might have been the day before.

Mother nature decided to throw every ptype imaginable in that storm including hail.

Most incredible sight of my winter life, watching bigger than pea size sleet pour down in buckets and seeing a total mantle of white above it racing down. With the snow came a crack of thunder that scared me, with the thunder came a 65 plus gust. I had pics where you literally could not see out my door five feet, looked light night. Tropopause Folds namesake. Ozone breathing day.

1989...that was a monster for the SE areas from RI to Plymouth...amazing for them that6 time of the year to get 10-12" of snow.

We had about 7 inches back here. The most notable aspect of that storm was the intense cold...most of the snow fell with temps around 20F and the high temp that day was 22F...darn cold for Thanksgiving.
