ROOSTA Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 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. You are amazing Will!

ORH_wxman Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 At this point Phil's kitchen drop down 02 masks deployed Phil was choking on ozone and then got 100mph winds shortly after. That might have been more amazing than the snow it put out. That storm still might belong on the underrated list despite us mentioning it so much. It was that awesome to experience and watch unfold.

CoastalWx Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 This wasn't much north of the pike, but 3/6/03 was a high impact event. Took me 5hrs to get home from Lowell and TSSN was involved too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekster's story about a guy trying to brush off his car while bolts of lightning strike around him was classic. He said there was something like 120 microbars per second of lift in that thing when reanalyzed, lol. Thats enough not just for thunder, but small hail...which is what some people got in SE MA when the profile was above freezing for a bit aloft.

We nailed it then too, weenied out maps and pressure drops hourly, saw that hole develop and we all were amazeed. Let's do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at the time I was not sure, but it wasn't clear like sleet...it was more milky white so I assume it was hail. Was Mike in charge of reanalysis of some events at BOX? I remember him talking about the 120 microbars per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 A microbar/sec is roughly equivalent to a cm/sec. So that would be 120cm per second. It may not sound much, but that can produce a ton of precip if that lift continues in a deep layer which it did. I'm sure it was even deeper in a mesoscale aspect.

Damage In Tolland Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Lol....DT was in so many threads before that storm calling people weenies for trying to wishcast the storm a bit further east for the big I-95 cities to get hammered.

CapturedNature Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 There were a couple of events in my areas that I think are underated. There was a storm in early Dec. 1992 that left 6-8" of snow across NE CT but there was a sharp cutoff to the NW. I remember having a good snow base while just about everyone else to my west was bare - the Dec. '92 Blizzard took care of that though. I don't recall the dates of the other one because I can't see a comment on it but there was an event (it might have been 92 or 93) that dumped a narrow band over 12" of snow at my place by there was next to nothing in the valley at the same time. If I recall correctly, some places south of me (Tolland, Bolton, Colchester) had 17" and most of it fell in 2-3 hours. I was in Sturbridge at the time and there was very little there so it was narrow band and my Dad told me that it was the heaviest snow that he had ever seen. I wish I could remember the dates but I'm sure someone on here will remember some more details. Update - I think it was March 5th, 1993 according to this article - I think this is the event that I recalled - http://articles.courant.com/1993-03-06/news/0000105041_1_winter-storm-snow-removal-storm-center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the April 2006 obs thread there was a bit of banter, but the entire thread was 5 pages, so the banter never lasted more than a few posts, lol. Now it can go on for 3 pages before you see a weather post with the number of people posting now. It will never be the same...the days of the board with 100-200 regular posters is over.

Johnno Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I definitely go along with 2/5/01. Still my biggest snow fall in 16 years of records. You don't see it mentioned too often but November 2002 was pretty darn memorable. 10.7" on the 27th followed by 3.4" on the 29th. That 14.1" had a w.e. of 0.88"!! And then there was an ice storm on the 16-17th that knocked out power for over 4 days here. Good to know it was a good storm an didn't just seem great cause I was younger, Id never seen it snow that hard before. What was the storm total here?

ORH_wxman Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Feb 2001 probably had the best looking commahead and CCB I've seen on a storm to date. It was both large and very intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
