CoastalWx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Scott wakes up at 4am with cold sweat running down his forehead with images of Jim Cantore in 1996 and the October storm...and the 3 letters "ORH" in his mind. Then he thinks about December 1992 and starts to sway toward the sharp veggie cutting knife in the kitchen and looks at his wrists and says "is this worth it?"....then we tell him to think of Jan 12, 2011 and he backs off the ledge. Not far from the truth during the following week. I'm still waiting for my blizzard warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 When I heard areas like Billerica flipped over during Dec '96....I almost took my grandfather's old rifle and shot the cable box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It would appear mini GCs exist in CT. People need to understand different species exist in different areas. It does not mean the climate is colder. Exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Not far from the truth during the following week. I'm still waiting for my blizzard warning. Then you have Jack Williams on WBZ going live to Shelby Scott in ORH with 3 feet of snow on the ground....your nightmare almost never ends....then you wake up with cold sweat and see your computer over on the desk with a pic of Feb 7, 2003 and you manage to get back to sleep.

HoarfrostHubb Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Met on met abuse now. We were down in SRI watching the rains move east across the West Passage of Narragansett Bay. After it pushed through we were treated to a very dynamic cloud display 47F here attm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on a roll. LOL. You are forgetting another big blow after thinking I would never see a 2' snowstorm. The NORLUN event in Chatham was another gut punch that winter.

Mr Torchey Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Jan 21 2012, fantastic little event great banding here, 8 inches of fluff, would love to have a couple of those this season.......we stole one down here last year in a season of hell.

ChrisM Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Congrats on living in a Boreal forest. You drive at 400' for five miles and its 80% green, then you drive above 900' for five miles and its 10% green, must be the species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NORLUN event in Chatham was another gut punch that winter. Just when you thought it was over, you fall back asleep and dream of Barry Burbank in March 2001 saying there would be 20" in Boston....then see video of ORH with 2 feet of snow while outside you have a pellet-contaminated 6" snow pack and then get fast-forwarded to March 30, 2001 where ORH again got like 10" of paste while outdoors whatever was left of your pellet-contaminated storm in piles is being washed away by 37F downpours.

I drive 900' down the road it's raining leaves. It is species. Yes elevation plays a role, but we are talking about ne CT vs ORH. You think ne CT is colder?

ORH_wxman Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ChrisM in 10 years will be the new Pete....he started off averaging 5" less than ORH...but then by 2020 he will average more than Hubbdave at 1100 feet in N ORH county...and be losing leaves by labor day and retaining snow pack after Patriots Day.

That was pretty bad. At least the writing on the wall was there, unlike Dec '92. Ray had 21" of paste stacked on his weenie, while mine was almost washed away. 8" of fluff at the end. Don't forget the ocean effect snow in Feb '94 where 6 miles to my NE had 2'. While 18" was nothing to sneeze at..missed a big one again..lol. Luckily that winter was unbelievable. The chase for the 2 footer ended in Jan '96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
