While 2015 was pretty pedestrian in the CT Valley....1717 is probably the only semi-recorded year that can rival the 2015 blitz out east near Boston. 90-100 inches in a 23 day period....the 1717 blitz wasn't as much but it occurred in about half the time. Like 60-70" over 11 days, lol.

This has to be at least 20:1, Fell in about 3 hrs too.

That was my ratio, too, but only 0.02 LE.
Temps month have run in 3 streaks:  1-7 were all BN, avg 9° BN; 8-22 had only one BN day and averaged 11° AN; 23-27 thru today with its -12 low is running 13° BN and tomorrow's probable near-average will make the month's final 6 days about -11.  Month should finish 1-1.5° AN.

This was easily the most wintry week of the month and probably the most wintry week of the year, so far.

I’ve had at least flurries for 8 straight days
