2013 might be #2 all time in CT behind 1888. What a ridiculous coverage of 25”+. 

My 2nd favorite all time behind the blizzard of 1996. I was in Norwalk at that time WEST of the heavy band and still picked up 22 inches. My dad two towns east of me in Fairfield recorded 35. 

Only beaten by 1996 since Norwalk received 27 inches that storm.

Originally forecasted to whiff SNE about 4 days out. Really trended north big time inside of 60-72 hours. 

 

Yeah I remember thinking how sucky it would be to miss it and then it just came north final 3 days.

PD2 was a big storm when I lived in Bristol CT with around 16 inches but really wasn't that exciting. 1" hr rates with fair snow growth. 

What was more interesting was how it kept creeping north and how slowly north the leading edge was moving. Also really cool was that Sunday had textbook increasing high clouds with bitter cold temps and calm wind. High was around 10 above that day before the storm.

Lisa told me she was reading a book about the Blizz of 1888. I didn’t realize until days later that she meant this one…

That was brutal. Check this out from Litchfield Ct. Before and after .Man we want

On Tuesday morning the wind had lessened though still blowing a gale with the thermometer at or near zero. The most remarkable drifts are at Dr. [H. W.] Buel‘s. One, a little west of the house, about 20 feet, to a level with the eaves. There is an addition on the west of Dr. Buel‘s house, reaching- about to the eaves, which is almost completely covered by the snow, so that our reporter, walking- along the top of the drift, passed completely over the roof of this part of the house, and down on the northern side. There is a drift on the east which is even higher, shutting up one of the library windows completely, and reaching nearly to the top of one of the large firs which form a hedge on that side

Some of the heaviest rates I ever saw. Insane for about 3 hrs. 16 and change in that one, majority in 3 hrs.

Me too but quite forgettable. All at night and was in and out in a few hours, sun came up roads clear in the morning. I think this event, Jan 22 and Mar 17 all had 4"/hr rates some of the heaviest in recent times. Jan 22 I measured 4.2 in one hour.

I remember thinking that season sucked. I would kill for a 40" season these days.

Different perspectives.

I was actually thinking the same exact thing about 09-10 and specifically 08-09. I thought 08-09 was pretty shitty but wait till you see the maps and seasonal snowfall for that season. 08-09 is actually tied with the most number of snowfall maps for one season that ive done so far from 08-09 to 23-24.

08-09 was excellent here. I’d cut my left one off for that again. 

I think we only cracked freezing twice in January 2009....sneaky frigid month. Never hit 40F. Throw in 25" of snow from multiple events (in addition to the late December snows) and it was quite a stretch. Pack got pretty deep but not like 2011, 2013, or 2015 levels.

We reached 31° on 3 different days that month but never got higher.  16th-17th had lows of -36/-34, the 2 coldest mornings in our 26 winters here.  (And Big Black River in the far NW hit -50 for a new state record.)  Then February had 33" from storms of 8.5" and 24.5" 19th-23rd, briefly raising the pack to 51", though it had settled to 49 by my 9 PM obs time.
