BuffaloWeather Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 He's in my top 5 for sure. I'm with him though, snow in July would be awesome. 1.) Damage in Tolland 2.) Weatherbo 3.) MSF 4.) Ginxy 5.) Not familiar with the NYC/Mid Atlantic forum but maybe that Jebwalk character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well someone that moves to the middle of nowhere to see insane snow would be #1 for me. But if you read the posts from damage from tolland....I think he is from another planet in regards to snow. I think when he retires he's moving to the Rockies 14,000 feet. Step up your game Bo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KokomoWX Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You should see the NE forum - they currently have about 5 winter threads going at the same time...no mention of Spring at all. Post after post about how long they can retain snowcover. Not many winter weenies in here can hold a candle to that...although I do my best. It might be different is I had a deep snowpack. Now, just a few dirty piles. I'm over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd take a good snow event every month for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Valdez is my next move I'm going to Italy. 100" in 18 hours recently.

Chicago WX Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Speaking of Valdez, how about 1989-90 and 1991-92? Not that I couldn't ever imagine the totals from the other seasons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I couldn't ever imagine the totals from the other seasons... valdez.png That is crazy! It beats the record in Hooker on the Tug for sure. Valdez gets a combination of Ocean Enhanced snow and Orographic lift which can absolutely dump. It's moisture source also doesn't have to worry about freezing all winter long. The possible cold that can cross that sea is incredible. Basically a perfect combo for obscene yearly snowfall totals. The hamlet of Hooker, near the boundaries of Jefferson, Lewis, and Oswego counties, holds the state record for snowfall in a year — 466.9 inches, about 39 feet, in the winter of 1976-77. It sits right next to the hamlet of Montague, which got 77 inches in a 24-hour period in January 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I couldn't ever imagine the totals from the other seasons... valdez.png Awesome - I think Valdez hit a 108" snow depth on 1/17/1990. I guess it helped that 47.5" fell the previous day. A few years back (2011-12?), I think they had 400+". I believe Anchorage, Juneau, and Nome set records for seasonal snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 No one likes snow more then Josh aka michigansnowfreak. I would put him up against anyone in the NE forum. He would gladly be ok with snow on the ground year around. I have to agree with Tim, I have learned over the years on these forums, and it has been ESPECIALLY reinforced after back to back brutal winters, that even though this is a weather forum, there are only a few of us super hard-core winter lovers. For the general masses it seems the snow bug starts itching early (by early November) but then by mid or late February they start to get spring fever. I will say though...i wouldnt want snow on the ground YEAR-ROUND lol thats a bit extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy run though for them from Jan 10-21, 1990 (daily snowfall and snow depth in the last two columns). Just amazing when you look at the temps and precip totals...to spit out that much snow. They added snow on the 18th and dropped 13" in snow depth. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it has lower ratios and meat to it. It happened here quite extensively in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Looking forward to another May 16 (was it?) or later coating this year just to razz the snow haters in the office. That morning year last year was classic. Also, best UP snowmobile trip for us was several years ago 2007 Easter weekend with 4' plus down that week leading up. They were raking leaves at Krupps and then boom back open for that holiday weekend. It was powder riding all the way, quiet, with little traffic, a lot of trail blazing, and such a unique experience.

I remember the Easter weekend 2007 lake effect snows quite fondly...one of the biggest LES snows I've seen at home on the east side of Cleveland (30-40")...just goes to show we aren't out of the woods yet. The upcoming pattern doesn't look optimal as I think the trough may be too broad and too far east for a big synoptic storm in this sub forum...but, there are some signs of something around the 20th as Hoosier said so we will see if things can go just right with that.

I wonder if those old tales of how when the French first founded Detroit back in the early 1700's, that the forests were so thick that sometimes snow would remain on the ground until almost July.

I can believe that, especially with the canopy's of virgin forest. Here on my property, with third growth forest that are heavy, the previous owner of my house told me snow routinely can be found in the woods until June... especially last year.

I remember that one well too because my father and I tried some steelhead fishing at the Rocky River in the afternoon and it started coming down hard again. What date was that, anyone remember?

What date was that, anyone remember? April 5-8, 2007. There haven't been any LES events since that have managed to drop a widespread 20"+ along the lakeshore from Cleveland points west. The Euro and Canadian have been toying with the idea of an airmass cold enough to get the lakes going again to an extent the second half of next week depending on how much they can thaw through early next week...although not nearly the setup the April 2007 event was.
