We’ve had a lot of anomalous storms over the last decade, and this should be right up there. May never see this again October 1979. That was probably the closest in your area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I’m going with our daughter’s 6.5” measurement. I really didn’t think we would hit 4”. Oh well. The leaves will have to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hair under 5” here, which I would say is historic, and probably a once in a lifetime return rate. Hell, this would be up there if it happened in November too. Not to use to much hyperbole, but this is definitely a memorable event for me. How does 3” in Taunton on Oct 10 compare to 5” on the 30th? Just curious how you’d rank the 2.

You can argue right on the immediate coast near BOS that this one was clearly more anomalous due but anywhere off the water that isn’t the case. This is pretty high on the list though even for a place like ORH. Prob only ‘79 and ‘11 were more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like every few years I was watching the Pats play a snow game at home in the snow in October. You would think some kind of anafrontal or late cold air advecting system (like this) would have sneaked in more often over the last 100 years.

Arnold214 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Congrats SNE peeps for snagging this one. Great pics too. Bob, I went and plotted that 3 inch amount in 79 in Xmacis2 and it came up with the below location. I can't confirm if it's accurate or not, but it's probably real close. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes the 3” number more meaningful. That’s closer to TAN then BOX. It’s right next to the High School. Drive by there often. Hope all is well with you. Miss seeing you on here from times past. Hope things are well with you and your keeping Legro in line there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds to the mystique of the near term event, it was a positive bust for many spots (?). The first system added that additional southward tug of cold air behind it (especially in the lower 925mb level). right as the second low got going much further south. Once that cold air started moving SEward, it had some serious momentum. Put a nice sweet spot through SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
