Big first half of December storms in the great LV, strung together in the 2000s like pretty Xmas lights!

Dec. 11-12, 1960:  10.3"

Dec. 13-14, 1966:  7.6"

Dec. 8, 2002: 8" -- and another 7.2" on X-mas day

Dec. 5, 2003:  9"

Dec. 9, 2005:  9.1" and 14/-2 on the 14th (2nd earliest sub-zero ever).

 

And last year we had 11.5" on the 16-17th.

Did they really get nothing from the big one in 2009?

Might want to check your 2006 bulb, none of the lights after that are working. However I'd include Dec. 8th 2013 in that list for down here anyway, and while it wasn't huge total wise (6-8") it came down at 2" an hour for 2 or 3 hours (see Eagles game, lol).

December 1966 was a dream month in the Lehigh Valley and NW NJ. How can you top three 6"+ events and a KU on Christmas Eve?

Parents moved into their new house in the north Philly burbs in 66 and my mom use to talk about that first bad winter. I was recently looking at the snow events that winter for Allentown from November through March and my thoughts were it was very much like 95-96, but worse because it was a much colder winter. Not born yet I really missed a good one, no doubt winter of yore material and much deserved.

I still have some slides somewhere of me and my younger sister standing in front of the garage door holding shovels and sporting our new Yogi Bear snow boots surrounded in snow! :thumbsup:

Actually 95-96 was 1.4* colder than 66-67:  28.6 vs 27.2 (ABE) -- You probably posted just to get me to respond, :P

It was pretty good though the first storm melted quick -- record 17" depth Xmas day.

Dec. 1872 is the only comparable December in terms of snow (and cold)

It was pretty nice in NW Delco as well. Christmas Eve was a Saturday, it started snowing around 7 am, was heavy by late morning, with  thundersnow in the early to mid afternoon! Wound up with 20" and Christmas morning looked like a Christmas card! One of my favorites for a lot of reasons.
