Was this the origin of the legendary 'not gonna happen James' post or was it 1/27/15 That was by me for 1/27/15 Will and I were talking that day regarding the mid level magic storm of why models had little precip into SNE. Only the RGEM hinted at it. There was moist cyclonic flow at H7 right into SNE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verified there with 1.5" and within 4 hours of when it stopped there was no evidence it had ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the weenie meso band that just parked itself over LI all day before the coastal got going. I remember reading something about high salt nuclei attributed to that weird band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it was a bust out here, however still ended up with a heavy snow event. The biggest bust was Philly which was forecast to get 8 to 12 and got 0.

And some places just north of the city had significantly less. If I remember correctly there was a thing band of heavy snow right through the southern half of the city in the early stages of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7" in Thomaston makes sense. I think I measured 6-7 and I lived in the part of Watertown close to Thomaston. Updated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Thomaston report is pretty accurate. 9 year old me measured 13" in Watertown. Seems like some pretty weird banding stuff going on which makes sense given the dynamics of that storm.

You said it lasted 50 hours? I think from start to finish it was like 60-65 hours. I got home from a ski trip in Vermont in the early morning and snow began around 10 or 11am i remember, light snow throughout the day. We got about 1-2" by dark or so, then the sleet fest began it was starting to look like a big bust. Sleet continued through the night and into the day on Monday. Shortly after sunset on Monday a huge slug of precip entered the state from the south and it was S/S+ for several hours through the evening into the overnight. After that pushed through it was spotty showery snow through the day on Tuesday as the low became vertically stacked, a few more inches of cold wind whipped snow. I remember going outside and measuring at midnight Tuesday night/wed AM with large dendrites falling as the last bands were pushing through. About 15" which measures up to the surround reports of 15.5" and 16". So from 10AM Sun to midnight Tues night/wed AM thats 62 hours. Most of the snow fell within a 12 hour period Monday night, a few inches on the front end and few on the back end on Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there sleet up by me? I'm guessing the cutoff in extreme SW CT is because it was so late blooming? Also, any idea how much liquid fell?

The climo sites are really low <1" but id image it was between 1.5-2.5" for most of the state considering what snowfall totals were plus the addition of sleet, compacting, wet snow. BDL is suspiciously low compared to surrounding reports for snowfall. and BDR is kind of high and doesnt match their precip report at all. 15.5" with 0.59" liquid? yea thats obviously wrong. Sleet blew through the whole state and then we cooled off Monday night. you can look at the radar, sfc maps, and BDR obs here https://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2001/05-Mar-01.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here on the "fringe" it was 15+ hours of steady moderate snow for 9.5". The post-equinox dumps of 16" and 19" made March 2001 the 2nd snowiest month (55.5") I've seen. Only the 61.5" of Dec 1976 at Fort Kent had more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like seeing those snowflakes drawn in with a black magic marker, this was way before the modern graphics we have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
