Typhoon Tip Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Has there ever been a K.U. type storm like on the Eve of Dec 31 ? There's been others spattered around the country in their own right ... but, a real low latitude Miller B bomb that crawls along the coast - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was convinced it would be a long time before i surpassed the 39" snow depth from January 2011 (technically February 2011 after the 2/1-2/2 storm. Then 2015 happened and I got to 44-45".

Actually the whole several day period from 12/30-1/1 is weak. NYC/adjacent NJ had the 12/30/00 storm but it was nothing special around here (10" or so). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have my records on hand, but CON had like 16-17". I think it was 2 systems with a brief gap in between. 10.1" on 12/31 and 6.5" on 1/1.

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I thought in the late 1980s/early 1990s there was a decent NYE event. Not a KU by any means but a foot or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember 12-14” near ALB on that New Years Eve storm in 2000. Not huge but for New Years Eve pretty fun. For holiday snow I’ll never beat the 12/25/2002 in my lifetime...no matter where I live I think getting two feet on Xmas Day will be hard to top. Grass blades showing that morning turned into 4 foot snowbanks at 10pm along the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 2 hours ago, Damage In Tolland said: It’s mainly due to Lake effect. They get several of their own private snowstorms each winter from lake effect There is no way some rogue lake effect streamers can explain the Norfolk CT COOP snow totals. Its kind of crazy looking at their totals. They only have 1 season above 100" the past 20 years. But from 1944-1998 they AVERAGED about 100" per year. That's a good sample size being 50+ years. I think most considered the Norfolk COOP date pretty pristine? Serious question, as somewhat that didn't grow up in NE, how could they have averaged that much over that time period? I know they have some good elevation (1300ft?) But they don't seem to get much Upslope?(correct me if I'm wrong) So mainly synoptic with some lake effect streamers, squalls sprinkled in. 100" average is a lot for a non lake effect/non uplsope spot. The baroclinic zone shift for whatever reason to river east in recent decades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are decent hills there and trajectory on NW flow is good for them. @CT Rain could explain more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
