ORH_wxman Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm shocked Will didn't select December 1992 Amazing storm, favorite of all time...but the month was actually pretty sh*tty after that storm...we didn't hold onto a White Christmas by all that much. Dec 1970 was just a train of storms and very cold almost throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec 1970 was just a train of storms and very cold almost throughout. That and 2007 were so similar, although 1970 was slightly more prolific, I just anointed 2007 out of deference to my own experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Amazing storm, favorite of all time...but the month was actually pretty sh*tty after that storm...we didn't hold onto a White Christmas by all that much. Dec 1970 was just a train of storms and very cold almost throughout. I'd lean toward December 1989. I'm a cold weather guy and that month just rocked for me, particularly being in northern New England at the time. January is another tough one because there is 1994 and 2004 but I'm going to lean toward January 1987 because it was a mix of cold and snow (over 30"). So my list would be: October 2011 (Honorable Mention 2005) November 1986 December 1989 (HM to 1992) January 1987 (HM 2011) February 2015 March 2015 (HM - 1888) April 1997 May 1977 June 2013 July 2000 August 1991 (Hurricane Bob) September 1938 (Do I really have to say?)

CoastalWx Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I may be missing a few details that change my thinking, but my best guess. October 2009 November 1987 December 1970 (2008 close second I think) Jan 2011 (2009 close second as was 1996, but cutters killed second half of month) Feb 2015 March 1993/2013 (2015 beats it in snowpack hands down, but 1993 much more active. Debatable for sure) April 1997 May 1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 October 2010 (34.1" of snow, but honorable mention to '05 and '06) November 2002 (big snows and cold) December 2007 (very close call with 2003 though, as that had 2 storms of 20"+) January 1958 (awful winter on the whole, but looks like an incredible January for big snowstorms) February 2011 (BTV's snowiest Feb on record) March 2001 (no doubt at all). April 2007 (6 feet of snowfall at the ski area) May 1997 (cold and snowy, 48" snow depth on May 31, 1997) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You SNE'ers, I'm noticing variability in April... Ginxy with 1996, Coastal with 1997, and Jerry with 1982. Be curious to hear about the differences in those months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be curious to hear about the differences in those months. Well to be fair I'm vicarious for 1982 since I was in Los Angeles. However the pure cold blizzard on 4/6 is an amazing thought. Taking out that year I'd say 97 as a no brainier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If it were just a storm my monthly list would be different. April 96 was a week of pure winter ,31 inches 20 depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yeah maybe 1996 had more winter...but I am letting 4/1/97 bias my opinion. April 2003 was also wintry to start. There are a few debatable months in my list for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 For ones that I lived through: Oct 2011 Nov 2002 Dec 1992 (1995 honorable mention..pretty much pure winter all month with multiple snow events..even if 12/20 was a semi-bust) Jan 2011 Feb 2015 Mar 1993 (2001 could be argued) Apr 1997 (I will say Ginxy has a good point on 1996...but I still personally pick '97 since April is never more than 1 week wintry anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer of 1992 was another great, cool summer but nothing like that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmillz25 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 lol good run lately it looks like. Yeah lol hopefully I can add to it this winter. I missed out on the Jan 2015 and Feb 2013 by 40 miles. The record breaker here in 2006 was good but it wasn't really impressive for alot of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
