Maybe where you are it was boring though. Meh rain is boring. Unless you had some terrific flooding like VT did or Leominster, MA on a local scale. We had a tornado in town, but I still find the overall year boring. Very little SVR this summer aside from brief spin ups and up by Acton-Andover MA. New England as a whole was quiet in that dept.

Keeping hope alive. After you originally told me the story many eons ago, I told myself that if I ever found myself in the past, one of my priorities would be to go to LA and find you and convince you to be in Boston for that.

I was only 7 so we made it to like 20 houses max before the cold got too bad. In 2020 we had a table I set up for candy so we weren't directly giving them to the kids (Covid was in our heads). We had a fire pit going but even with the meager heat from that, some of the candy froze to the table. It had been wet from snowmelt maybe?

All while not sounding like a lunatic. The sad part is, Will you were born far too late to witness ‘78(I was 9 at the time..turned 10 a month later). It was the real deal everywhere in SNE. What a total beast. Feb 2013 delivered something very similar for me here…more snow accumulation in ‘13, but winds were still longer lasting, and bigger drifting in ‘78. Both were absolutely historic. Both ‘78 and Feb 2013 closed school for a week in town here also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a top 5 snowstorm for me in March. Record setting rain this summer. Destructive flooding in the city I work in in September. Weather is typically local Your "top 5 snowstorm" would be my #1, by 3". I was happy with the 22" dump in mid-December, enough to survive the Grinch deluge the following week.

It is probably top 3 for me (1978, April Fools 1997 are my top 2) While it (March 2023) had a lot of snow it was sorta dull since it was limited to a small area. Few others could enjoy it. I don't have good records for 3/2001 or a few others near 30" I wasn't in my current spot for Dec 1992 which was probably 3 feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean by boring you want some action as far as damaging winds or tornadoes or hurricanes or major flooding. I find that so fascinating, but I don't want it where I am. My parents went through it first hand with the hurricane down in Florida last year ago and it really devastated their house and the area around them, so much so that they're going to be moving back north. So I'm not a fan of devastation and how it takes people out. Just not my thing, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from a weather standpoint I find stuff like that fascinating. I didn't get into this field because of Partly sunny and 80F. All of us who are mets got into this because we find weather fascinating and that typically equates to something that struck awe in us. Many including myself did it mostly for predicting winter weather....but many also love to see what mother nature can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
