CoastalWx Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm pissed I don't have any pics of that stretch leading to 12/21/08. What a great stretch that was from 12/19-12/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty deep down here before it changed over as the CJ the day before really gave us deep snow. Even after the flip the pack was like 15” deep in the Dorchester where I lived.

I love the mesonet map the next morning with all the temps missing in the interior where the ice was epic. Also, check out that temp gradient near/just north of Ginxy. That low slices right through SE CT/RI/SE MA and brought that gulf air with it. Monsonx_wx (I think that was his handle?) posted a comparison from the night before of the map that I saved.

The 4 Seasons Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 4 hours ago, EastonSN+ said: Great write up and radar! That winter in SW CT was overall a great winter with great March snowfall, even with the Feb. dissapointments. It's funny how the mind works, getting a solid 7 inches in the blizzard but feeling ripped off due to a poor forecast. Getting a solid 10.5 while eastern areas get 16. Snowfall ended up 166% of average. Let's keep going, shall we.. Mar 1st - Solid plowable event. Very similar synoptic setup to the last storm on Feb 21st. This time all snow, no change to rain.Warning shore, Advisory inland Ended up with 6-7" in North Haven. Snow stuck to roads during the day Mar 3rd - Overruning event with a heavy burst of snow changing to sleet and freezing rain. Advisory statewide for 2-4. Ended up with 1-3" for most. Mar 4th - Anafront situation with rain changing to snow, possibility of big snows for CT ended up being near nothing for interior CT, advisory southern CT, and low end warning for the extreme shore. NYC and LI picked up 6-10". Ended up with 2.5" for this one. Mar 21st - Finale event for the season. Coastal storm. Clipped CT snowed during the day with white rain, stuck at night but pretty much only to grassy surfaces. Adivsory statewide. Ended up with 6.6". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had like a high of 3 or 4F. That was the light-pillar storm at our place in Gardiner - vertical beams above the streetlights. We were getting rimey SN+ at 5° while 30 miles east RKD had 40s and SE gales. Then temps rose to 30 then dropped quickly to the minus teens. On I-95 south of BGR it had briefly risen above freezing and the snow plus cold froze lumps of stuff so solidly that one dared not exceed 10-15 mph, or risk having one's fillings shaken out. Even a grader was having trouble getting it off the pavement. That 12/12/2008 map is reminiscent of the "layering" during the Jan. 1998 ice storm: NYC area - 50s/60s and some RA. SNE - 40s and more RA. Southern Maine - 30-35 with cold rain and/or light/moderate ice. Central Maine (IZG-AUG and on downeast between Rts 1 and 9) - disastah, 27-31 with 2"+ ZR. Western Mts/foothills - mid-upper 20s and mostly IP, with some moderate ice. Aroostook - singles to teens, 18-27" of 8:1 cornmeal over a 5-day period of near constant precip.

ORH_wxman Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 24 minutes ago, The 4 Seasons said: i wasnt around for that. you mean positive bust? it looks like you got 2 feet+ by the pictures Yeah the forecast from most TV outlets over ORH county was in the 5-8" range with some lower in the 2-4" range. NWS was a little more bullish with like 8-12" and I was hammering it even harder, but I still busted pretty heavily. I went 10-15" I think. I had no idea why everyone was so skittish on that one. I wonder if they were all worried about a bust like DC had in that one (they had a WSW for like 6-10" and got basically zilch in DC with a few sloppy inches in the suburbs....you had to go well west into the foothills to get big totals there. But the temp profile was totally different here...we had these -4C to -5C 950mb temps funneling down the Maine coast right into the CCB/Firehose.
