Leaving for Los Angeles right before the snowy 1977 on period for 15 years and I lived through it. 1991 onward has brought its share of epicosity.

The -NAO has been so rare recently that I'm a little gun shy that it holds for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take another 81-82 in a heartbeat. Up north we had 186" total, nearly 4' in Dec, Jan avg temp -1.5, -32 on March 1, capped by the most violent blizzard of my experience (and the most wonderful positive bust imaginable), in April no less. Will's comment on early-mid Novie likely being "too early" is reflected farther north, though maybe with things starting a week earlier there. Farmington's earliest 10"+ event in 125 years came on Nov. 13-14, 1901, a 15" storm. The 12" on Nov. 18-19, 1980 is the only other 10-plus-incher that began earlier than 11/21. The last 10 days of the month have recorded 9 such snowfalls, with the 2014 storm breaking a 25-year drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Weeklies weakened the -NAO a tad, but still a pretty nice look into December. Biggest difference I see is the dateline ridging compared to last run. So a little more Nina look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have the same level of record keeping that you guys do (well, any record keeping at all if we’re being honest) but 81-82 is the one that I pattern all my dream winters on. Seemingly endless snowfall. A couple of 3”-6”ers a week and then a bigger one every 10 days or so, or so it seemed to my then 13 year old eyes. I don’t remember any really big warmups and the road that I lived on at the time, VT RT14 in Brookfield was closed due to snow slides. It was a great winter up here.

Damage In Tolland Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looks like 30’s and 40’s (20’s tomorrow) for highs in SNE as far as the eye can see with a few wintry chances Monday and again next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right now those wintry chances look more like just rain chances for most. Maybe that changes...hope so but wouldn't be banking on that right now.

Cuz I remember saying he got more than I did(that doesn't happen too much), I got 16 inches in that Feb one, and he got 19. Good call Hoth.

You never know when, but literally anyone can go big at anytime. From BTV to the Cape. From CAR to BDR. In this region, winter is the most exciting season.

Every area has its pros and cons for big systems, except ORH. Will said it best in another thread or post, this place is special for weenies. But because of the region’s size, sometimes you have to suffer forcefully watching your neighbor disrobe in his basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
