Looks like i was on the 6" line from the old PNS map...

I learned something new!!!

That was the MLK event.,..but it was actually 2 events listed on 2 separate PNS reports....you probably had like 9" total or so (6" from event #1) . I had around 7-8" total.

Yeah, looks like 6" on 1/18 and 3 or 4" on the 19...

I never knew how to find these before. Very neat.

LOL at the Feb 25-27 2010 totals near Pete

Oh wow, I didn't even catch the year...I was thinking of 1/18/10...not 1/18/09....but yeah 1/18/09 did produce two separate storms too....they were pretty good. In the 2009 events, I totaled 11" I think....in the 2010 MLK 2 punch setup, I totaled a bit shy of 8".

Amazing that the dates matched up exactly.

2/23-24 of 2010 gave this area a foot - 14" of snow then turned to rain... instant cement.

The pic is from 1/18/2009 Part of a medium 1-2 punch

Oh, ok. I thought it was from 1/18/10. I should have read the previous posts/looked at the date :arrowhead:

But ya, 2/23-2/24 was cement but was only 4"' here before it turned to rain. I remember the day before that one saying I was going to get from 1-16" because it was so elevation dependant and no one knew exactly how it would work out.

You can see how compact the mid-level centers were....and we knew that based on their track that any dryslot would have a very hard time penetrating far past the south coast. You could clearly see it get swallowed up very quickly on this series of radar loops. I remember not being worried about it at all but some were freaking out, lol.

The DS in many of the storms strangely always ended up pretty close to PVD-TAN-PYM...give or take 10 miles or so. Each storm did track close to the Cape, but very similar placements with the DS.

What compact bombs we had. I normally don't like seeing models come so close with the DS, but those mid level low ended up developing rapidly and pinched all that off. Great inflow getting caught up in these circulations as well. This was the winter of mid level lows. Dec 26th, Jan 12th, Jan 21st, and Jan 27th all were nice compact mofos.

12/26 had a broader circulation than the other two which hurt us I think. Also having it be further west hurt...and developing a little bit too soon. BOS was hammered by the CF enhancement though in that one so ironically it was their best storm despite that one having us in the least favorable mid-level location.

Oh yeah for us it hurt other than near BOS and points sw, but I was thinking more in the broader sense of the northeast in general. 12/26 wasn't compact in that sense, but it had the perfect ingredients in the mid levels to hammer NJ and up into Pete's area. It kept that core of precip very close to the low center, which is what I was thinking of. Jan 12th and 27th both had the mid level lows tucked in perfectly for us..almost better for NYC once again on Jan 27th.

I think you had to go more out near the NY border to get the good stuff in W MA. That dryslot even got Mt. MRG.

Yeah they got like 25-30" out that way with more on the spine in 1/12.

1/12 was the best storm for our region as a whole. 1/27 though was really cool, it had some extremely intense snowfall rates for a few hours. 12/26 was a bit disappointing though I can't complain overall since I still got 12" in that storm...many others had single digits.
