It was triple stream phase of extraordinary special dimensions thus integrating a substantial fraction of the to hemispheric power into its ‘machinery’ Think of it like an atmospheric “rogue wave” phenomenon … There’s really no way to bottle up that much raw power into the torsional spatial manifold of cutoff/‘hook and latter’ scenario … Ironically … we’re far in way more likely to bust through stack records off a two stream standard model staller and shoot for the long game/duration. Get 3”/hr rates stalled for 12 hrs then another 12 hrs with meso bursts inside a rotting comma head would shatter records. In CC we’re handing out snow rates like that as though it’s routine … just got to get the storm granted. It’s probably impressive it’s hasn’t happened yet and we’re playing with the odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most ridiculous front ender of all time. Expand I have some photos from my childhood home somewhere, that I truly believe is the largest/best snowstorm in my lifetime at that location. Drifts were 5+ feet around the house and the Hudson Valley doesn’t really do windy/drifty snowstorms. It looks like it had to be 30” on the level and it was dense wind-packed. There have been deform band 20-25” storms but the snow was just different in March 1993. It was packed like concrete. I know ALB gusted 50-60mph in that which is nothing for you coastal dwellers but in the Hudson River Valley that’s unheard of in a synoptic snow IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 But the best was even further west it seems. SYR with 42” from March 1993?! 35.6” of it in 24 hours. Holy crap. SYR records: 1. 35.6 inches of snow in twenty four hours (10am Saturday - 10am Sunday.) The previous record was 27.2 inches set in January 1925. 2. 22.1 inches of snow on Saturday, March 13, breaking the old snowfall record for that date which was 4.1 inches set in 1961. 3. 19.9 inches of snow on Sunday, March 14, breaking the old snowfall record for that date which was 8.6 inches set in 1956. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That makes sense, or at least some low level enhancement on cyclonic NW winds off Ontario. Bonkers to have 30”+ lollipops from the mountains of NC all the way up through the northern Champlain Valley (likely into Canada too). I wish we could see something like this with today’s model data. The media hype would be off the charts if a 48-hour ECMWF prog was showing this lol. “Nah it’s wrong, ain’t happening” - this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
