CoraopolisWx Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Unfortunately I could only find clips for this storm in your area. (Pgh was kinda screwed, while State College got 2 ft) Anybody remember this storm. ( 3/1/94-3/3/94 ) It appears ORH did ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That system had pretty strong winds. I do remember hearing about the huge snows in central PA. PA had the huge storm in January too of that winter.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The videos of the Blizzard of 2015 Coverage is awesome. I hate how Harvey and Mike didn't update the snow fall graphic every time news came in of the Outer Cape getting over 24", Harwich came in at 30.4" officially, but you know how banding is, I measured 32" in my front yard. I live in Harwich Center, there has to be a residual front between Harwich and Chatham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Coldest storm I've ever been in. We had heavy snow and -1F at one point. Think we made it to -3F while the steady snow was still falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 One question someone here might know. In NOAA's NCEI storm events database, where does the removed event data go to ?( i.e. pre 1996 winter weather etc. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred 2/2/205 - 5F less cold but 7.5" with near-blizz conditions. (Coldest I've ever seen for accumulating snow - not much, only 0.5" - was -25 on 1/4/1981 in Ft. Kent.)

The wind tipped 2-ft diam. oaks out of semi-frozen ground, shattered plate glass windows, nearly ripped 10" of black ice from the nearby reservoir (lots got crumpled onto the lee shore), and created 6-ft drifts from the 2" of wet snow that fell late on 12/29. Only the 1950 Apps gale can rival it for winds I've felt, with Hazel, Doria (both in NNJ) and Bob (in Gardiner) a step down. And it was definitely a storm, but to the north. BGR had 29.5" and Old Town/Orono 40"+, with 60 mph winds and temps that cycled from below zero to near freezing and back again. NNJ was just getting the cyclonic flow behind the blizzard.

The day before, the Giants and Packers played for the NFL championship at Yankee Stadium in conditions that rivaled the famed "Ice Bowl" at Lambeau a few years later. Temps were 25F less cold at YS but the 50-60 gusts made up for that. Poor Y.A. Tittle couldn't run his vaunted passing offense at all (Giants' only score was from blocking a punt) while Jerry Kramer was only 3-of-5 for FG from inside 40 yards (and probably did well in gauging the wind to make even 3.)

Cold Miser Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 October 4, 1987 Not SNE, but a great event from 30 years ago today when I lived south of Albany, next to I-90 just over the border from Mass. in Old Chatham, NY. Cars were stranded and I was going back and forth up the hill with gas for people. One of my all time favorite events as it occurred less than 2 weeks after summer ended and we ended up having no school for the entire week (storm was Saturday into Sunday). Although, that winter was fairly crappy after that, and since then never wanted to see another October snow storm, thinking that it meant there would be minimal snow for the remainder of the year.

Video: http://wnyt.com/news/steve-scoville-report-on-october-4-1987-snowstorm/4623650/ We took a trip south in April 1988 to visit family in VA, and the tree damage along I-84 at the higher elevations of Duchess County was catastrophic. IMO, it was worse, though less widespread, than the breakage along I-84/90 in CT/MA from the 2011 Octobomb (which also presaged a crummy winter for snow.)

Full foliage, and tons of tree damage. Roads were still being cleared 3 -4 weeks later. I suppose it's pretty comparable to the damage in CT a few years back during the October storm.

(though for a tree expert like tamarack, he can probably notice that stuff a decade later) Yeah, I'm pretty anal about that stuff, have no problem spotting damage from the 1998 ice storm in central Maine, though it's getting harder to do when the leaves are full. And there was an "event" for the April, 1988 trip, though the above is right on target, of course. We were leaving early on 4/16, and the evening before, Altitude Lou was calling for perhaps 2-4 inches "but only sticking on grassy surfaces." As we headed out, on highway tires (our studded snows would've been illegal by then in VA/DC) there was 4-5" OG with SN+ that we did not escape until south of PWM, and those "grassy surfaces" included I-295, though many vehicles were actually out on the grass. We hit 8 different states on the way to a friend's place in NJ near the Delaware Water Gap, and saw falling snow in 7, all but the short stretch of NH. One more bit of April fun involving NJ - we visited this same friend in 1983, just in time for the 11" on 4/19. Three years later, she had moved to the place near the Gap, and we had 13" of NW-wind deformation band paste on 4/23. We began to wonder if we'd ever be allowed back into NJ during April.
