HoarfrostHubb Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 IMBY, that is the most anomalous single event that I have ever seen. 10/11' was lame here, though still anomalous. The dusting I had in May 2002 is up there, too. March '93 warrants honarable mention, too. Never, ever seen driftingg here even on that playing field. Obviously the most anomalous stretch was that three weeks last season. For me, May 1977 is up there for the weirdness.. Def top 10 just due to how strange it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackymann Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 We got way more in this year's storm than we did in the April Fools storm. For some reason South Chelmsford "only" got like 2 feet, while people all around us were reporting well over 30 inches. We got around 32 inches this year (my #1 storm).

backedgeapproaching Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It was May 18, 2002. My wife always mentions that May 18th date as its her birthday and she has always told me it snowed on that day. (she was in SVT at the time). What were the totals? anything other than a dusting/coating outside of high elevations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some 2" amounts in the high terrain...even as much as 3-4" in Monads/N ORH coutny and N Berks. I had about an inch or so in ORH...maybe 1.5". I think further W in ALB they had like 2" to the valley floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Was unbelievable storm. My wife and just moved into our apartment in Boston the day before after moving back up here from DC a few weeks earlier. Woke up the next day to witness utter amazement. Two historic snowstorms within 15 months in 2 separate cities (DC Jan 96 and then Boston April 97). This April storm was one of my favorites.

powderfreak Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 There's epicosity ...then there must be a transcended rank. 1997 was epic, as were so many others of lore. But the transcended ones ... they don't have "screw zones". Every storm has screw zones unless its just a solid 6-state wall of steady 30+ dbz. There's no way any storm, even biblical, could evenly distribute accumulation across the land, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 2.5" even right on the Hudson Valley floor at 200ft. I think ALB was officially 2.2" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Storm really sucked in southwest CT. I thought my 4" was good until I found out there was 26" in Boston, where TWC said it was raining at 11pm. There really hasn't been any storm like it since, every other spring bowling ball has been a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I've said it before...I'm a real obnoxious distance from the ocean. Perfectly wrong. I'd be better served to either move 5-10mi east, towards Peabody, or 5-10 miles west, towards Carlisle and Chelmsford. Couldn't agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 As promised earlier...the Kocin map that used to be online years ago...more accurate than the other maps So it does look like I may have been in a 30"+ zone in West Roxbury at the time. WTF is that guy doing in that Fenway photo? Just snow blowing a random path around the edge of the field for the hell of it? What in gods name was the point of that?

Just snow blowing a random path around the edge of the field for the hell of it? What in gods name was the point of that? I was nearby in Hyde Park and we no doubt had at least 30". We had at least 6 when Logan finally flipped over. I was able to find some youtube clips of newscasts with the weather, and there were some sick bands near BOS overnight. While the snow taped off N and W of the city, it really pounded during the morning of 4/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I never had an official measurement because of no yard stick, but some those pics I've posted before show that well. I was also 200' ASL which made a difference. I'm sure if we had this again MQE would report 45". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
