There was something like 10 feet of water in downtown ORH during that. We will never see it again due to the changes they made. So yeah…tragic event did produce safety measures that undoubtedly has saved a lot of lives. We still talk about the 1930s floods here in town when we allocate millions for flood protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure small areas have had wild wx, but in general there’s been no extreme wx , widespread heavy snows, severe, canes , ice storms etc.., .

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I wonder who here has the longest 18”+ event drought. Caveat being, you’d have to have lived here since 2010/2011. I’m pretty sure the strike zone has been SE zones or the interior. Feb 13 is the only one I can recall that hit central areas from sw to ne.

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Yeah Feb 2013 was easily the biggest impact region-wide this century…maybe since 1978 but you could make a case for Mar ‘93 though. Dec ‘03 was also really wide impact for snow but it didn’t have nearly the wind that Feb ‘13 or Mar ‘93 had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking specifically at CT, my Mount Rushmore of snow events are 1888, 1978, 2011, and 2013. Nothing else comes close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived there then and I recall the official measurement being a little suspect. Whatever, it was high impact as we know. I think maybe higher spots in Danbury reached 18-20” in 03/18 but DXR did not. I’m not sure the airport has/had an official obs for snow. Feb13, the noaa map says they’re shy of 20” but I think they came close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really bought in , but I will admit I was looking forward to maybe a. “Fictitious” snowy Sunday afternoon and night. Another words.. picturing it.. but deep down knowing not real .

We had several in a row in Feb and I think Jan had one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
