There were three great meltdowns in the '10-'11 winter. Tip calling the 962 low meh was classic. Ryan with an uncharacteristic breakdown, and then Jerry cursing the east wind before getting 18" of snow.

If you go back to the obs thread in the first hour of the 1/12/11 event, there's probably a 3 page stretch where Jerry gives the temperature update every 5th or 6th post with it ticking upward by the second...convinced it would be 12/30/00 all over again, lol.

I vowed that if I ended up with 3 inches of slop I was moving to Florida. Lol....

12/30/00 brings for to my heart. But I learned a really cold 850 can change things. Heck, even last week when the winds were east it was in the m30s imby.

Thank God it was so cold aloft. That was mash potatoes here, although I was not home to witness it.

I was close to a tantrum last year on 2/29.....but I eventually just had to laugh.

I had switched to torch well before then. (although I think you are talking about a storm that busted hard on that date) Heck, every storm threat busted last year--all 2 of them!

speaking of torches-65 here under p/c skies...

Ryan absolutely lost it that storm . Lol totally went off deep end. Similar to me during MLK storm and event after when Will got 20 + and I got 33 and a slushy coating

Your meltdown after driving back home from work that day (the day after event) was epic...you assumed it would be ripping snow and 31F in Tolland since everyone up north was reporting snow and 850s were cold enough...even the coastal plain folks just west of BOS had snow.

You get back and report 33F and rain at almost the same time I happened to post about 3 or 4 pics of monster quarter sized flakes ripping and like 8" of fresh snow...the meltdown that followed on the next page was definitely hall of fame material. One of the alltime greats.

You had a pretty good meltdown too on 12/16/07 when MattMFer in RI was reporting S+ and you were getting sandblasted by pellets.

Every event was a screwjob here locally. Every one.

I don't count the October storm since that is a freak of nature and I never realistically expect frozen before Thanksgiving. When Phil got more than my seasonal total in one storm...I knew it was time for a Sarah Mclachlan bath.

I wasn't on the board, but I remember his meltdown from lurking..lol. I laughed out loud and didn't even know the guy.

Yeah but I still had 6-7 inches that day when people in all 4 directions had snow while I was ripping pock marks off the scalp. So I took some solace in that. That day when I got home and saw your posts and pictures of you in your Mighty Mac winter coat and Megan prancing and dancing thru the woods in deep snow I just snapped. I can remember that like it was yesterday. I completely lost it. I was so irate, lol

Was that Jan. 2006? I distinctly remember having a mini-meltdown over that one sitting in RA in Boston while ORH got clocked... part of the meltdown was the Taunton went WSW and I knew we weren't cold enough.

No, the MLK storm Kevin melted down in was 2010.

The 2006 storm you are thinking of is probably Jan 2-3, 2006. A marginal airmass and heavy QPF that stopped at a brick wall just north of BOS-ORH line. Elevations did well in that south of that line. The funny part about that storm was that was one fo the first times Kevin was dumbfounded at sleet while it was snowing here...a sneaky warm layer got into E CT that changed it to sleet for a few hours which cut off several inches from their eventual totals.
