My grandfather who was born 1909 would tell me as a kid in the 70's that same thing. Made my furious. Until that time in February 1978... it actually pained him that I was around to see the greatest storm in New England's history. Don't let them fool ya lots of ratters back then. I am going to run some numbers for ORH and see who had the most snow growing up. Before I look it's the Millennials by far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I had to hear all the "not like they used to be" crap from....but they were right, it was an insane stretch. The 1930s-early 1950s were sneaky awful, but nobody cares about those years.... great depression and WWII were going on, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. I know I'm talking about a bit later (like mid 90s)..but those numbers still felt like a lot then, compared to what we've gotten used to over the past 20. Yeah the mid-90s broke the crap streak but we were still living off the experience of the previous years so for a while, those 6-10" type maps would still be really exciting....I feel like once we got done with April '97, there had been enough big dogs that the moderate storms stopped being as much of a high.

My brother became a city planner in the 90's and he mentioned to me about those years (50's and 60's) were memorable from a societal perspective for two big reasons. The explosions in cars and the existence of suburbs. Changed the way people thought about winter from a management style. There were now consequences for snow management. people expected snow to cleared and for work to get done no matter the weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleetussnow Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Snow clearing got a lot better over the last 40 yrs or so. Where I grew up we used to be able to reliably ride snowmobiles on the country roads with anything over 6 inches for a least few hours especially if the snow fell late at night. We would have the country roads to ourselves. Nowadays - feet of snow can fall but hardly any of it has a chance to even make it to the ground let alone pile up.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The EPS mean might be interesting on that shortly, because its prior have been pretty tepid ...indicating almost no detection. The GEFs have a high latitude Miller B, but ... the cold in SE Canada and any would-be attending/antecedent +PP is not as good as some of the operational versions - so the prior ends up in S Ontario prior to commitment in the GOM. That's not gonna cut it for much of region... perhaps lead mix. The take away is that the signal is legit - as I've been saying for a while, I know, but it's starting to emerge in the guidance now. Nice to have this next step actually take place - it's a been a problem this season getting that to actually happen... jesus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH lowest snowfall of 21.2” in 1954-55 included 2 inches in April 1955so their record would actually be 19.2 inches which is a lot easier to pass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only need 3.8” to beat it (and 1.8 inches if we use Kevin’s criteria of excluding snowfall past 3/31). One run-of-the-mill forgettable front ender would do it. 1 minute ago, Ginx snewx said: Agree on this. Skied and sledded many country roads. We used to always sled down the street when I was younger. Plows would get it down to packed snow but they didn’t use as much salt back then so you would have this 1-2” layer of hard packed snow to sled on in the middle of the street (our neighborhood was a giant hill with 2 or 3 streets running down it). We used to hate it when the sanders came through because it would temporarily screw up the sledding but after a little more snow, the sand disappeared. It didn’t melt the snow like salt does. They were obsessed with using sand back then for traction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
