This was Ray's dream storm. There was a band of 18-20" that went from N RI up through 128 belt....while ORH had 4". We were visiting family that Christmas and headed back to Fort Kent in our 2WD C-10 Chevy after dinner on the 29th. We hit snowy roads in southern Mass and flakes in the air a few miles into Maine. That became S+ before we passed PWM and by the time we approached BGR at 3:30 AM my eyes felt like the oncoming flakes were little knives. We tried to sleep until daytime at the Newburgh rest area, but it was too cold, so we stopped at the HOJO near the airport so I could suck down some coffee. That worked until Medway but triggered an emergency stop at the rest area there. Only picnic tables and an outhouse there back then, but blessedly there was TP - using powder snow at 15° was not a pleasant prospect. North of there the wind switched to NW and was blowing across the road - a gust meant white out, especially when we approached a plow truck doing the left side. Startling to be 100' from the yellow strobes and have instant blackout. Total in Fort Kent was a bit over 12" and they'd had another 2 feet on 12/26-27. (4" storm in NNJ, folks asked if we'd brought the snow from Maine.) Our 1965 blue Beetle was merely a lump of snow, not a square inch was visible. Five minutes after we arrived home, the NW gales hit town and we couldn't see across the street. Fortunately, that didn't happen as we drove PQI to CAR through the potato fields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 January 11 was as epic as it gets. Snow on snow on snow. Roof failures were common. My shed had 44 inches on it. Was the first time in my entire life using a roof rake. The icicles were incredible. I saw some roof to ground. Special special month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 5 Year anniversary of the Jan 7th 2017 nor'easter. This is one of my favorite storms of the past 10 years.

Hoth Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A couple days after a bona fide norlun, we got this beast. I still remember how excited I was as the precipitation just exploded over New Jersey. Stayed up all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A few weeks early for this trip down memory lane, but eff it. Some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen. I'm sure @Ginx snewx can attest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalloweenGale Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 With this OES setup today it reminds me of February 19, 1993(?) Where the outer Cape got over a foot from the ocean effect. Out on ACK we squeaked by with about 6 inches if memory serves. Built lots of snowpeople in our Old South Road parking lot. Two days later there was a promising storm that switched over to rain for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vineyard squeaked by with 10 inches. Looking back on that weekend in February 1990 the three events: Saturday, Sunday, and the squalls on Tuesday (not a weekend day, but part of the series) it seems they blend together.

I don't know much about that 40" Hamden report but i dont think it was ever verified or considered official.

CoastalWx Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Brett should have done well in 10-11. It was tough SE of GHG to UUU. I remember my folks were on the line, but would be mostly snow. But literally Duxbury on SE was screwed. You went from a 2' pack to little if anything in like 10 miles.
