The 81-82 winter was much better for central and NNE. I remember being in central NH in mid Jan. and there was a ton of snow. We had a lot of mixing issues down here, but seemed to get much better just north of 128.

It might be nostalgia but that winter might be the best one in my memory. I lived in Brookfield, VT and was in 8th grade. It seemed like we would get 3”-6” twice a week and a 10”+ storm would punctuate it every other week. I swear, at one point we had close to 4’ on the ground. Snow slides closed VT State Rt. 14 that ran by my house.  It was definitely a winter to remember.

Where's Brian ?

- we need to petition him to institute a limitation on the use of the word Blizzard - I don't care how fascist it is to limit free speech, at some point we gotta throw hands

 

 

Didn't we move on from using "Blizzard" last season?  Isn't the correct term now "Blizzardcane!!!"

Oh yeah. I pulled an all-nighter for that one. It was especially epic coming hard on the heels of a 8 or 9" norlun a few days earlier.

Ya that Norlun was quite the experience…and then that beast rolled in as you said. What a stretch…all after a complete melt out on 12/31-NYE.

Yeah, that really help knit the wound after the disappointment of Boxing Day and the torch shortly thereafter.

Varies. March 2018 and December 2010 each lasted 6 plus weeks.

March was a SSWE (not sure reason for 2010). Since this was not caused by a SSWE might not last as long? The METS on this forum would know best.

2010 was just like this season....deep tropical roots.

I think I would take a March 4-6, 2001 redux IMBY over a blizzard of '78 redux.

So there’s 3 ways I judge events.

1.  How did I do?

2.  What is the region wide effect.  Since I didn’t experience 78 but it shut down our area for a week I’d lean 78.  However, you got more snow by a big margin vs me in 2001.

Love this. For me it’s: 

1. How did I do?

2. What’s the region wide impact?

3. How did the storm perform relative to the synoptic & modeled potential?

How is that even possible? Snow in Philly while it rains in NNE with the low offshore. 

Marine puke from NAO.  We saw it in late December 1995.  With a strong snowpack we had several days of low to mid 40s for highs, 30ish nights until the reload right around New Years that eventually gave us the big January storm that produced very heavy snow BOS-southward with a Philly jack of 30 inches.  I think BOS got around 19-20.  I went xc skiing in the arboretum the day of the storm before snow started.  Temps in the high teens, deep snow cover-it was heaven.

Yeah number 3 kind of. limits us to recent decades of the internet but it's pretty important to me as well.
