ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 6 minutes ago, CT Rain said: Yeah February 83 is up there but falls short of 2013. 1888 & 1978 for sure and 2011 for a different reason. Anything pre-1950? Pre-1950 is kind of a wasteland for good snowstorm impacts…also doesn’t help that the 2-3 decades leading up to it were pretty horrible for snow. How does Dec 19, 1945 rank in CT? I know it was a big storm for HFD but wasn’t sure about statewide impact. Usually a big dog in HFD is good for most of the state though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another words.. picturing it.. but deep down knowing not real . Winter was taken from all of New England this year in various capacities. Cheers Yup. Drink the sorrows away bud. Nice name there lol. I’ve come around to good beers. I still prefer my high noons but I got a pack of Megaton for Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hamden coop didn't have >10" from either December 1945 storm. Seems like Hartford really lucked out for those 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a true clipper? Hmm I stand corrected then. Anecdotally though, they seem to happen less frequently at our latitude. Growing up in the 80s in CNJ, clippers were a majority of our snowfall lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it wasn’t the canonical Alberta clipper but it was pretty similar. It came in a little south of the typical clipper but similar result because the block forced it south instead of swinging up into S Canada.

I didn’t know Feb ‘83 even existed until you said it. 2011 is up there, but it’s kind of a back door entry—if the same event happened 8 weeks later it doesn’t even register.

When I think of clippers I think of the cold it advects along with fluffy snow. Dec11 was fairly wet until sunset which is why I initially dismissed it as a clipper of yore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a big fan of clippers but I do notice a lack of the cold dry clipper delivering 1-3” depending on wether you got in on a steadier axis of the 4 -5 hour event . It may not make sense but I wondered Something may have changed with the maybe polar jet (or wherever the impulses traveled down) sorta lifted north To more cne/nne 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.

The 4 Seasons Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 1 hour ago, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said: The last 18” may have been Oct 11 but even that may have been a tick under. 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. based on all my records specifically for southbury, the closest you came was actually 3.14.17 with 16". Not sure if that was your report or not but Southbury i have 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reference it a lot. Still the worst subsidence hole I've ever seen in southern RI with that March '13 storm. Anyone remember if Cory was around for that? He must've gone nuclear.

That was an inside 48hr semi bust where we were supposed to get crushed with 20+ and after the first monster band came through in the morning and lifted north, it was crap snizzle for the remainder of the day. That’s the storm that deformed the catskills into NVT followed with some upslope. I think Stowe got 50” and people reported a weenie snorkeling his way to the mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nam lead the way and OKX choked again. They refused to reduce amounts for NYC Metro knowing the trend was north so people wouldn’t let their guard down. @MJO812 will confirm.
