You defintely weren't a big enough weenie back then. I wish I had a camera on me back then, because I must have either had my jaw on the ground the whole time, or smiling ear to ear like the joker. I was in total shock and awe the whole time. Complete awe. January 2005 was close given the combo of snow rates and wind, but I just remember thinking to myself that this can't be happening, during the 3/31-4/1 snow event.

Well it sounds like you remember more than most when it comes to weather. It's easy to say to someone "wow you don't remember that?" However, sometimes I have to realize that not everyone is a weather weenie sicko...lol. I do regret that I feel like I lost a few childhood memories of snow, but I still remember the bigger storms of the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My favorite storm and favorite winter in my life I recall the details of that storm like it was yesterday. That was probably the best valley screwjob in SNE history. It was amazing what every foot of elevation made in that storm. The next time one of those happens Ray would absolutley lose it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time one of those happens Ray would absolutley lose it Ray did ok in that storm..his area in E MA was one of the few areas at lower elevation that made out well..he got around 20 inches. The valleys to the west of the hills got screwed so bad in part because of the absolutely howling winds out of the ENE which enahnced the downslope effect.

CoastalWx Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 You had some great winds though. Didn't they gust to or over cane force? At least it wasn't a total shutout. That is still one of my top 3 favorte SNE snowstorms. I lived in Brockton at the time, and we had great winds. Branches were flying everywhere. The problems was that I was expected to get 18" of paste whipped around by 70mph winds. I was so pumped. Even my parents were telling me how this may be the biggest snow storm that I have seen yet. I was a pumped up 13yr old weenie. Blizzard warnings were issued. I woke up I think near 4am and it was snowing and snowing heavy. The snow caked onto everything and the wind seemed like it would flatten every tree. It was around 9am or so, where the precip lightened and it turned into this weird sleet like snow, that wasn't accumulating. My temp went up just a bit too. I think I got dryslotted somehow and the marine layer made a second push west across se mass. 18" turned into about 6" with not much precip falling the rest of the day. When I saw areas like Walpole just to my nw get buried with snow...and ORH getting 3'....I wanted to cry...I swear. I thought that was the chance of me finally getting the big snow like my parents always talked about. I was already c*ck teased by the cape blizzards in the 80s. That storm though was a beast and I enjoyed the insane aspects that went along with it. However, that storm will be remembered for one thing....it broke the back of our crappy winters.

I've made up for it since then in terms of seeing big snow events, but that one will forever sting..especially seeing that I was so close to the big amounts.

ORH_wxman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Dec 1992 had a prediction of 2-4 inches 24 hours before the storm, lol. They maybe meant feet and not inches. It started as rain here too...I was in 6th grade and in social studies class right next to the window and the radiator....I was falling asleep from the hot air blowing on me but was staring out the window. Then all of the sudden a huge gust of wind came and the air filled with flakes, and as the gust subsided the flakes did too and it went back to mostly to rain...this process continued for about 10 minutes and then eventually one gust brought the flakes back and they never left after that. That was about 11:15 am on that Friday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sick as your memory is I bet you could even remember what you were wearing that day and the who was sitting in front of you and how bad their back acne was.
