ORH_wxman Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This one wasn't 2 foot snow total like some of the other ones, but man, that was the most brutal cold I've ever experienced in a moderate to heavy snow event. IT is a lot different getting these temps in saturated air with wind than calm nights or even dry CAA windy cold temps. This stuff literally sliced through you like a sharp razor.

Night time storm if I recall correctly. Snowing with temps in the 20s and then the front came thru and we dropped to near zero in less than an hour. Pixie dust blowing everywhere.

The 4 Seasons Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 @EastonSN+ well since we did Feb and Mar might as well do the rest of the winter, before that anyways... Nov 26th - First possible significant snowfall of the season. Nor'easter than trended west pretty dramatically inside 24hrs. Watches up converted to advisories. Well interior NW CT recieved low end warning while most of southern CT and the coast saw little to nothing. Rain changing to white rain. Elevation helped signifcantly 2-3" of slop in the hills of Hamden and North Haven (200-500ft) while near sea level got about a half an inch. Jan 9th - Snow squall event. Line of +SN moved through the state during the AM commute. Most picked up 2-4" in about a 1-2 hr period. Jan 24th - Coastal storm that was much more potent on models 3-5 days out then turned into a weak low. Overruning snows at night turned to sleet and rain before the precip shut off. 1"+ rates for a while. High adv/low warning event. (Notice how awful that Weather Channel map is, i saved it just for laughs..Rain to the North of the Rain & Snow line) Jan 26-27th - We all know the deal, the pain, the heartache that was this storm. 24-36, 15-30, 20-30 etc forecasted as the storm was unfolding. Huge bust. East of the River did about as well as expected though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I ended up with 7 unlike Philly which was looking at 8 to 12 and getting 0. NYC I think ended up with 10 due to the initial piece staying south of us over LI.

That was the only double-digit snowfall I personally witnessed that good-but-frustrating winter, and my only November storm of 10"+, anywhere. We did get 20" on Jan 27-28 but my only "witness" was behind the snowblower 12+ hours after final flakes. During the storm we were in SNJ, anticipating the forecast 12-16 there, which verified at 1.5", all of which was gone less than 4 hours after snow stopped.

Ooof thats frustrating, i thought 8.5" in a 24-36" forecast (15-30" NBC on the conseravitive/more realistic side) but 1.5" on 12-16 is worse. At least i hade plowable low end warning snow. I really wanted to experience my first 2 to 3 footer but alas it still eludes me to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
