Like Walpole to Taunton had 8”+ when the forecast was like 2-4”. A thin band late that evening started from me to Ginxy and nobody else was snowing. Then things finally expanded overnight and it went to town over SE areas with pristine snow growth and it ended maybe middle of next morning. Almost a mini 2/7/03.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 6 hours ago, The 4 Seasons said: 6 years ago today, the surprise snowstorm of Jan 30th 2018. I remember fxs were for a coating-1" in eastern CT and just generally snow showers overnight. No headlines, no watches or warnings and no road crews out. We ended up with a warning event for eastern CT with 20-30:1 ratios. How much for Southbury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a job interview the next day and remember going to bed and the general tenor was that this didn’t look good and to not expect much. Woke up to the sound of plows going by with 7-8” of pure fluff. Its hard to get a true surprise these days, but this definitely was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 9 years ago today started what was a long duration, but solidifying a stretch likely not to be beaten in this area. My best estimates were a conservative 30", but 36" was reported nearby. When the pack gets so deep it's tough to measure...you know it's special. I understand this did not impact many in CT/RI/S coast and even metro west all that much, but for this area, it sealed epicosity. Late Sunday into Monday really boosted the rates with OE and naked CF twister. I spent 3 hrs cleaning my driveway, deck, and part of my roof. I disappeared for a half hour to take a walk and absorb it all. As much as a disappointment these last two winters have been...I thank the good lord for being able to witness that stretch in 2015. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 18 hours ago, Ginx snewx said: I had 38 OTG in 15 Never got past 31" here. We had 26" OG on Feb 1, received 23" of 18:1 snow and had 26" on Feb 28. Not much melting that month, as there was only 3 hr above 32, on the last Sunday of the month, and the average temp was 16/-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can think of is a domino effect because entire swaths of forests were blown down. @amarshall can attest. He knows what I mean.

tavwtby Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 My second all time favorite storm, 78 still holds the top spot because as a kid it was like a crippler for a week, but 2013 I owned a house in Waterbury and was awake almost the whole night, filming and watching the incredible band rotating through...my avatar is that, most intense snow I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The only thing that would have made 2013 better for me was if it was during the day. Since I moved into the area in 04-05, it's the only legit 20 inch plus event here, anything from 21 to 24 would be acceptable for a storm total here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
