ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I actually remember the snow on 9/30/92. I was outside playing and it started as a shower and quickly went to graupel and then some legit flakes mixed in at peak intensity. It was pretty awesome.

Kind of like my seeing catspaws on the windshield in late August at 1,000' elevation in Fort Kent. Not all that wintry, but slushy drops during that month are noteworthy.

dendrite Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 CON had some VIRGA obs in the remarks around that late aftenoon time. Maybe they reached the ground up here like in ORH. But I do like the weenie 29F -SHSN ob to finish off September. There's nothing on the Franklin Falls COOP forms for 9/30 or 10/1 so the observer apparently didn't see anything during the day, but I'm not sure they were looking for flurries up there at the dam back then either.

I think what helped at the time was the sun was setting, not sure it would have snowed a few hours earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowcats dug out the Timberline Lift, easily 10-15' snow depths at the summit. Just incredible amounts of snow for late April. I ws there too. Drove up the night before...rained all the way until Ayotte's, that's where it turned to snow. Almost nothing was open in the am because there was a skeleton crew and everything was buried. Amazing couple days of skiing once they dug out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an amazing week of skiing the week before, just feet of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Another Winter that deserves mentioning is the Winter of 2000-2001. Killington - Okemo 4/2001: This is the most snow I've seen late season at Killington/Okemo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 After 16" on 3/22-23 and 19" eight days later, there was 48" at my stake on 3/31/2001, for the date taller even than any Fort Kent winters, by 2" over 1984. And a monster storm was progged for the next day and night - track shifted east and buried Newfoundland, big snow and gusts to 150 kph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July '89 F4 absolutely retains my top spot, though. My godmother's house got completely wrecked in that tornado. I remember one of her slate shingles was driven several inches into the trunk of an oak tree next door. Feb '13 would take my number two spot if I had been in Hamden for it. Sadly I was in Boston (it was still pretty epic up there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
