The 4 Seasons Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Merry Christmas! Here's a little gift. The Feb 2001 blue bomb. This is my #1 all time snow storm for many reasons. Epic thunder snow, rates of 3"/hr, flakes the size of baseballs, and a huge positive bust. 95% of the state received 12-24" on a short fuse WSW of 4-7" (New Haven County) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Look how bad the forecast (and probably modeling) leading up to this storm Friday Overnight Forecast (2 Days): Partly Cloudy and Mid 40s for Monday Saturday Evening (36 hours): Rain. Upper 30s. Sunday Night (12 hours): Snow changing to rain. Mid 30s. 4-7" total. This event dropped 15" in New Haven (And that's a DOT measurement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right the quick burst of moderate snow during the evening that dropped 5" and a huge slot that never filled back in and produced an additional 1-2" over 24 hrs. I remember that.... But just for you ill do it. I can't do 1996 because there are no PNS products for that storm. Unless you can find some i cant really do a map. I can def do 2006 thatll come soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScituateWX Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 15 years ago the Blizzard of 2005 best birthday gift I ever got! Really what got me hooked into the weather! URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Taunton MA 846 AM EST Sun Jan 23 2005 The blizzard of 2005 is now in progress across parts of coastal Southern New England, as those in Massachusetts and Rhode Island endure a storm comparable to the blizzard of 78. This storm is now blasting Eastern Massachusetts, northeast Connecticut and Rhode Island in all its fury with whiteout conditions, temperatures plummeting into the single numbers and teens, northeast to north winds of 50 to 70 mph creating drifts to at least 6 feet, in exposed areas. Travel is not recommended until sometime late today or tomorrow, to give crews which in some cases May have stopped clearing roads for safety reasons, an opportunity to clear roads later today when the storm starts moving away. The storm at 8 AM was still located about 50 miles east southeast of Nantucket and will end up dumping about 16 to 24 inches of snow in the Connecticut River Valley, 20 to 30 inches from Manchester and Nashua New Hampshire through Worcester and Rhode Island. The jackpot will be Eastern Massachusetts where 28 to 38 inch amounts will be common. Nantucket Will end up with less snow because of its warmer conditions and closer proximity to the storm center but blizzard conditions will arrive there this morning. This is likely to be a record setting snowstorm in Boston when comparing against data, dating back to 1892. For Providence this should be a top 3 snow event. The 7 AM reports of 17.8 inches at providences TF Green airport and 19.8 inches at Bostons Logan airport makes this the 6th worst snowstorm in Southeastern New England Interstate 95 history dating back to at least 1905, and heading for at least top 3 ranking by days end. Blizzard or near blizzard conditions will occur along the coast and high terrain this morning and then gradually recede to only the immediate coast during the afternoon. This is a potentially life threatening situation for those who venture out during the height of the storm this morning. Again, travel is not recommended until late today. If you leave the safety of being indoors, you are putting your life at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extended out to the HV I'm guessing I'm in the 24-36 inch band. That might even be enough for me not to gripe about the 48-60 inch totals 50 miles to my east. Upon reflection probably not, I'd be annoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time ever seeing thunder and lightning during a snowstorm. That's awesome dude. I was more than pleased with 14.4" from that storm considering with less than 24hrs to go many models were showing a whiff and i remember the EC ensembles were split 50/50 from basically nothing to 2 feet. I've experienced probably a dozen TSSN events since living in CT and i remember the first one was the most impressive to this date. I had CG lightning strike less than 100ft away and loud summertime convective claps. I remember being a kid then and didn't even know it was possible to get thunder and lightning during a snow storm. Id love to get 28", never seen a storm that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch Tiger Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 one of my favorite nearly forgotten storms was March 05? Flash freeze and whiteout for a few hours behind a bombing low.

Id love to get 28", never seen a storm that big. I wish I was more in tune with the weather back then. Definitely one of my favorite at-home storm memories. Last January 8-11th, 2019 at Smuggler Notch is definitely the best event I've experienced with 38 inches. That was a huge positive bust with really localized upslope bands. Stowe, 4 miles south reported 'just' 27 inches. What an amazing experience and all-time east coast snowboarding. Also had two 2ft+ storms at Jay last march that were incredible and a few other foot+ pow days in southern vt that were fun but rocky... I got really lucky, especially since I was working full time in PA picking and choosing 7 days in advance on storms. This year has been much slower for me.

First time ever seeing thunder and lightning during a snowstorm. Full whiff up here from Jan '16. My 1st (of 3 lifetime) thundersnow came 12/24/1966. I learned 2 things that day as I was out hunting in NNJ - first, that 345 KV powerlines are hot (temp-wise) as I could hear flakes "popping" as I walked the edge of the R-O-W. 2nd one took 2 booms to convince me, as #1 merely confused - "It can't thunder during snow, can it?" After the 2nd and louder one my thought was "This is going to be something special." By then we had SN+ and 4-5" new, and the storm finished about 15".

Unless you're at Stowe or Jay Peak, or in prime LES country, that kind of dump isn't coming every winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
