H2Otown_WX Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I know it wasn't much to write home about for much of the subforum but the 1/7/11 Norlun overperformed quite a bit in portions of SW CT. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/7606-inverted-trough-redeveloper-disco-jan-7-9-part-ii/page/2/ ^Disco thread including our old buddy messenger. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/fxg1/NARR/2011/us0107.php http://www.meteo.psu.edu/fxg1/NARR/2011/us0108.php ^NARR Reanalysis http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2011/07-Jan-11.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Kart Mozart Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have been keeping a snow log for about 12 years now. Here are my notes from that event: 01/07 8.5" Norlun Madness. Powerful h5 low over lakes, weak surface low over ocean. SW CT hit hard, but wide variations. 4" Westport 15" Southbury. Models, esp NAM did a great job here. I can rember getting 4" in 90 minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember the ratios were really good, probably around 20:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 We did very nicely with that Norlun here in Southington..9+ I believe. Was a fabulous month for sure. After the boxing day mess and the total melt out by New Years too. It definitely turned around a lil over a week later with this Norlun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall exactly, but believe it was in the ballpark of 8-9". Super fun event. Very fluffy snow and totally still air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the only Norlun I can remember off hand here lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in CNJ at the time and piled up 24” inside the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
