It was the best porno movie I have ever seen. It was like baseball sized snowflakes. 1 foot of snow in 2 hours. Small animals Didnt have time to get to higher ground

 

Yeah I wouldn't even call them flakes... just huge snowballs being hurled from the sky.  Never seen anything like it.  Were you out when any of the hail chunks were coming down?

That almost sounds like what I saw in 2/28-3/01 2005. Will loves that storm. I had just over a foot in about 3-4 hrs. For an hour, the sky was choking aggregates. When those echoes moved in, I almost thought it would be sleet, but it was pounding snow. That storm was originally suppose to be mostly rain for me.

Same thing actually happened to my neighbor who was shoveling the driveway, walkway, and deck areas.  By the time he finished, he said that a fresh 10 inches had fallen where he started, lol.

 

When was the last time anyone has seen 6" per hour type rates like that?

Will said in April 97 storm some areas up there had 6-8 inches an hour but not as widespread as we saw over much of CT. We will be see anything like that in our lives again

You mean Dec 23 1997. You will remember this when you're back to 14" max snowfall.

i bet some of us sure will.

 

it seems anomalous storms are becoming more common. perhaps it takes another decade , for 6in/hr rates. someone will get bomb'd again with super rates.  8 inch.....ya perhaps not

This isn't true.  Besides some of the big hits we've had our winters the past decade have been pretty meh.  After like '04-'05 besides 07-08, and two years ago we've had some pretty lousy winters.  

 

I feel like since '05 we've done pretty well with KUs compared to eastern Mass. Boston is just a better KU spot that Hartford/Tolland but the last few years have been good to us.

Oh definitely, I don't disagree there, we've had 3 24''+ storms since 2006!

 

I'm just saying our winters as a whole have been mostly craptastic the past decade.  

 

Luckily that Feb blizzard hit us or we'd have yet another boring well below average winter for snow most likely.

12/23/97 is heaviest snow Ive ever seen. 20" in like 5-6 hours. Started on the way to school and was over by the ride home. Buses got stuck everywhere on the way home.

Yeah CT is due for 10 years of no snow after some of our recent luck

Hey now. We've had some real dead ratters and some less than normal years recently too. Say, like last year, and there was one winter around 2000 that it seemed like it was 50º until mid January. But yeah, we've had a few memorable storms too.

Even last year, as painful as it was, had the October snowstorm.

I don't know if anyone saw this, but our colleagues at NWS Raleigh put together a beautiful map of the Blizzard snowfall...

Yeah they are awesome at case studies on past events! I have to say I was fortunate enough to be in the middle of this epic event here (at the time 3-5" was forecast and I came out with 21"):
