Flakeage on WaWa base cams. So that's around 1000-1100 feet or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. I grew up in CNJ so those were 1 in 7 year occurrences. I expect maybe 1 in 5yr in WCT? Thing is, I missed Feb 13 and the Jan 15 superbust added the sting. Mar 16 was another one that forecasters banked on 18-24” here but that busted with 14”. Just crap luck lately I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch Tiger Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 17 minutes ago, KoalaBeer said: Not to mention with the improved lead time and warnings we have now it thankfully makes it harder to obtain a fatality toll like 78. Heat definitely kills more, but it's a lot harder to put a number on it. Ha, I doubt it. Heat does not kill more than winter. Accidents and fatalities in vehicles directly related to winter driving alone would probably surpass all heat-related deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved up here in Dec 2014 and am still waiting for something more than 16.....my last big storm was February 2010 living in central Delaware.

And regardless if it kills more or less, don't make it seem as if the weather you enjoy is more "pure" than the weather other people enjoy. For starters you might want to check the death toll from the 2003 heat wave in Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 42 minutes ago, Greg said: Sounds to me like a snow exhaust prone zone of some sort Could be, but it would litterally be 1 town wide of an area. If they posted snow totals from each surrounding town it would jump dramatically. Still my favorite is Jan 96. Fairfield town next to BDR had 27 along with all SW CT. BDR couple miles away 15. Let's hope we get more big ones this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...plenty of cold air in Canada with that look. We'd basically be at the mercy of timing polar jet s/w's and anything ejecting out of the SW. There's confluent flow in the E US too. So the devil is in the details, but there could be fun with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
