White Gorilla Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 December 5-6 1981 in Central MA where I grew up. Saturday December 5, rain was forecasted to change to snow overnight and end the next morning, but there was question of intensity. Well, it was more intense than they thought as the low deepened so quickly and the trough went so negative that it snowed in Southern New England while rain hit Eastern Maine. Light rain began falling Saturday afternoon around 3 where I lived and quickly changed to snow in 15 minutes, initially light, but picking up steadily. Pavement was initially wet, but became snow covered through the evening. Overnight, snow picked up and up with increasing winds. Woke up from bed around midnight to look out the window and it was a white out with S+ and drifting. When I awoke at 7 the next morning, close to 18 inches fell and it was still snowing at a good clip. Snow tapered to snow showers around 10 with 20 inches total around the Worcester MA area. That would be an amazing storm to see again Christmas Eve into Christmas Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermedic Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Feb 78. Intense winds and drifting. Jan 96 my second choice. Boxing Day 2010 my 3rd choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay that one about 18 hours and it would be my choice. We had about 15" in NNJ with thundersnow about 2 PM. I'd gone out hunting for squirrels and grouse about 9 AM in light snow, and came to the 345kv lines an hour or so later. The hiss as flakes died on the wires told me that they were "hot" in more ways than one. Snow got heavy about 1PM and by 2 I was in grown-up field near to the road I'd walk home on. Only heard two booms, and since thunder during a snowstorm was "impossible" (in my mind), my first guess was sonic boom. 2nd one 5 minutes later was unmistakable, and changed "impossible" to "this is SOME storm!"

I can't recall anything about the 3/16 storm, though we must've gotten about 6" based on nearby data. The "bigger storm" was the first truly big snow of my experience; I've called it a 24" event. It was still accumulating at 8 AM on 3/19 when my dad measured 23.5" in our front yard. (I was only 21 months old for the Dec. '47 dump. My earliest wx memory is the 1950 Apps gale.)
