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. Feb/Mar was pretty crappy in SE areas in 2011...after the Feb 2nd storm, most of the events were N of pike type events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur. It sucked right on the coast. I do remember just inland though it was like a different world. Going from 1" in my town to 10-12" pack in Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah it ended even on BOS after that early Feb storm. Maybe some scraps here or there, but sort of meh after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gentle whack here, nice 11" event while 25-30 miles away AUG/LEW each had 25". March 19-20/2013 was bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climo asserted itself the next year, especially in March when we had 2 major snowfalls while points only 30-40 miles to the SE had mainly rain. Latitude giveth and it taketh away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can't believe its been 5 years already. But this beautiful bomb hit Feb 9th 2017. Notable aspects of this storm is that was particularly easy to forecast with extremely good consensus amongst all models and run-run consistency. Widespread thundersnow broke out in CT during the early afternoon hours with rates reaching 4" per hour. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular blizzard stands out to me as being one of the most dynamic (electric) systems I’ve experienced, personally. Not only did CT see widespread thundersnow, but I actually documented the occurrence multiple times in both Providence, RI and in Plymouth, MA. A very underrated storm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I wish we had these nice radar images from Jan 1996. Best storm of all time for me cause Highest snowfall of 27 inches A TRUE megalopolis snowstorm so incredible media hype and coverage (nothing like watching a town south of you getting crushed knowing your next in line). Long duration storm lasting over 24 hours of off and on HEAVY snow. Multiple unique stages of the initial overrunning (8 inches). Dry slot. Off and on bands of heavy snow (14 inches). Solid back edge to end the event (5 inches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was commuting into Boston that year for work on the seaport....I remember the harbor finally froze over during the 2/2/15 storm and it didn't unfreeze until around 3/20....pretty insane that it was completely frozen over for like 6 weeks. In addition, all the snow out on the harbor ice was blown and drifted into various mounds and sculptures and you'd get random ground blizzards out there on sunny days in late February because the snow was staying powdery and couldn't get soft and refreeze due the lack of warmups. Looked more like some city on the arctic ocean rather than a temperate climate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right, the Coast Guard had to bring in ice breakers to make a path for the ferry from Hingham at one point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 What an epic bust down here in CT from about 91 and west. I remember it vividly. We were under a blizzard warning with calm winds and clear skies. OKX wouldn't pull the plug until about 9PM. Got about 2" from WAA snows on the front end and that was it. E CT did well and verified the warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I wonder if anyone living in the BOS area will ever see those seasonal snowfall totals ever again in their lifetimes. Maybe if they are super young... but I doubt it Just an epic season. I kiddingly would meh it (I "only" has like 120") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The return rate for something like that has to be astronomical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
