codfishsnowman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I was close to thinking this weekend's event could be big region wide but 6z this morning is a bad sign for the 14-15 shaft zone.....no matter what we are in a multi decadal pattern which favors eastern sne for coastals...it just never stops as if last jan jonas wasn't bad enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Was just doing some climo data and realized this is the 10yr anny of one of our warmest Jan days ever. I had 65.4F here back in 2007. It felt like April with the sun shining. CON had a high of 69F which was their warmest Jan temp since 1876 (72F on 1/1). Looks like BOS hit 69F too. Torch city. That was the last hurrah for warmth until mid March though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only time they have closed in January. Think they were closed for several days in a row early that month. Winter turned pretty cold though mid month and beyond.

H2Otown_WX Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Didn't want to derail storm threads so I'll just vent here I guess. I think a great rule of thumb for those of us west of 91 and or NW of 84 in CT is you'll never get more than a few inches if: a) Storm tracks east of the benchmark b. Temperatures are under 20F and or BL dew points are low. We've had about half dozen of these storms over the last three seasons and they've all produced about 3-4" of snow. I think I did let my expectations get a little too high when I saw the GFS jump on board and the RGEM was printing out 8-9" totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we want them to rain or dry slot. I wonder how much James got or if he is still breathing? "Storms that typically last 6-8 hours and snow 1-2" per hour with a uniform snowfall distribution" What are SWFEs Alex? ^The only kind of storm we do any good in these days.

If it only snowed one more time, and it was a three footer, I would not care...of course a 95-96 redux would also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimetree Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Bit of a let down here with yesterday's system. Maybe 4 inches at most. Makes me think of spending a winter in a place like Rocky Harbor on the west coast of Newfoundland. Seems like they get some real winters up there.
