CoastalWx Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You know...what really got me through that winter was knowing how well Logan11 did. Phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah I think logan11 had like 46" in the two combined, lol. The snowicane he mixed briefly i think, but pretty much was sweet spot in getting snow in both events..outside of maybe some place like Slide Mountain. The first event was pretty warm at the sfc, so you needed elevation. That winter was pretty frustrating though from the standpoint of "what could have been"...one of these years the perfect storm of ingredients will happen where we get 5 feet of snow in a week. Middlebury had a really good chance of being ground zero for both events when the modelling showed the Snowicane retrograding further north. Until around 3 days before the event, the GFS had a 970mb low pinwheeling into the Gulf of Maine following the 20" dump the Champlain Valley got in the 2/24 storm. Andrew and I both thought we'd have 3-4' on the ground on campus, given what the models showed and that climo strongly favors low pressure retrograding further north. No one could believe the low was going to hook back inland around NYC and dump 20-30" from Westchester to Orange Counties in SE NY. Logan11/Rick was definitely the jackpot for both events with around 45", but the individual jackpot for the 2/25 Snowicane was just to my northwest in Orange County...places like Highland Mills and Harriman recorded 32" compared to the 26" I had in Dobbs Ferry. The area around Highland Mills in SE NY seems to be a mecca for large snowfalls. I believe they also recorded nearly 30" in the Boxing Day 2010 storm as the band bent backwards from NYC/NJ...places like Scotch Plains NJ and parts of Brooklyn recorded 30", but then further up in the Hudson Valley also had obscene totals. Another time the Harriman-Middletown corridor along Route 17 did well was this past winter....they got crushed with the 2/13 event and had over 30" on the ground, probably close to 40" in the higher elevations. There's some decent variation in elevation as the Hudson Highlands cuts through the area, with many places near Harriman State Park over 1000'...I believe there's another ridge just to the west near Chester, NY where the northern NJ hills continue into New York. Definitely an interesting climate there as Middletown seems to receive substantially less than places nearby like Harriman and Highland Mills. Proximity to the coast for Nor'easters as well as elevation play a large role, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember how most of us thought the snowicane would be north like typical climo on those types of retrostorms...the GFS was actually the model that first brought it SW but nobody believed it. That was such a ridiculous setup. It's too bad there wasn't much cold air around...if there had bene legit cold air around, then more snow def would have fallen further east even with that track...probably still tainting at the peak, but likely a lot of snow on the front and back end.

That event was superficially (not synoptically) similar to the one exactly 41 years earlier - same +/-4" total precip, just 5F milder, so Farmington got 8.8" plus heavy rain rather than 1969's all-snow 43".

CoastalWx Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 IIRC 2/24/10 was the famous "Fooking kook" storm for Will. I remember I posted the euro 950 temps which were below 0C and Will pulled the trigger for nrn ORH county...causing his clients to call him out...lol. Guess who had the last laugh.

Yeah that was a good one. All the TV mets were like 1-3" of slop for N ORH county...I had 8-13" and that was still too low. Most of them got 14-18" up there...about 11" IMBY. NWS BOX was pretty good in that one too...they were the only outlet I saw that had warning snows or higher there. Too bad it wasn't just another couple degrees colder aloft...and it could have been even bigger as it transitioned into the retro-storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkyfork Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 i knew it. lol "During the time Brian was at our place, I noticed how ****ing cold our apartment was all the time. [...] I figure they wouldn't mind if I raised it to about 70 degrees. Well, Annie did. I think she was PMSing or something because late one night while we were having dinner together, she casually mentions, "Did you make the AC hotter?" It took me a while to process this, before answering, "Oh! Yeah. It's so cold here all the time." I sniffled half jokingly, but she was not amused. At this point I knew she was seriously irritated. "Yeah, don't do that again." Baffled, I asked, "What? Why?" "Brian and I need it that cold." She prodded him meaningfully in the shoulders, and he just shrugged, focused on his dinner. He's not very talkative in general. "Why?" She sighed, replying, "You wouldn't understand." "I mean, you can help me understand. It's been really cold, I've been a bit sick and plus, the electric bill is kind of high. You know I've recently lost-" "No, you don't understand," she cut me off, giving me a sour look.
