CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I was thinking back to '18-'19. Even though for here it was near normal in snowfall, every storm virtually over-achieved here. From the pre Thanksgiving storm, to the big March bomb...most did better than my initial thoughts for my area. Don't forget the ice on 12/23 and then the big snow to ice event just prior to MLK. That was sneaky ice well into SE MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March '01 wasn't so bad as we had a decent ending. Dec 1992 was brutal...brutal...brutal. Especially as a small weenie when you were incessantly bombarded by your parents about how we don't get snow like we used to, bliz of '78..etc. I was about to get the big one. Blizzard warnings and 12-18"+ from all the outlets. I remember distinctly my mom saying this may be the biggest storm you've seen. Only to see it change back to rain, knowing it was pounding 5 miles away. I still have PTSD from that, and I know it's coming. It took days for me to shake off how pissed and upset I was. I thought I would never get to see the big one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 My three most traumatic events are PD II (1 foot subby hole, surrounded by 2 foot reports), 12/5/03 (1 foot subby hole surrounded by 2-3' reports just 5 miles away), and the second event in Dec 1996, which did to me pretty much exactly what Dec 1992 did to Scott. I was sweating the R/S line headed into it. It started pounding heavy snow, and I have just had a good 6-8" in the first event....I'm thinking, "this is great, we're off...I'll have a great pack headed into the holidays". Then, bang...its pouring after 2" of slush, and I hear a report from the next town over in Billerica that its dumping paste with 5". A few hours later I see Cantore spontaneously ejaculate amid the glow of lighting on camera, and the etching of an eternal scar was complete. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Nothing came close to that after. Sure I have my share of disappointments, but nothing like that. I will say, Feb '06 comes close. That made me hate the dryslot. I saw NYC getting crushed with 28" and was like WTF!! I had no idea, that was supposed to be here. Since then, that made me always seek out the slot.

SouthCoastMA Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 2011 triggered me hard..missed out on about 30" of snow by a matter of 10 miles. But I haven't come back to that dark place since. I know most love that Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmillz25 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Jan 2015 will always haunt me here in NYC. I know you guys got smoked but the fact that 2’-3’ was expected and only got 11” hurts.
