CoastalWx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I think everyone enjoys snow pack. Nobody’s saying they don’t want it. But personally, I judge winter more on the actual events. That’s where my adrenaline gets going. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2/2/15 storm was the day after the SB. Started right after it ended actually IIRC. Yeah heres the radar for the Super Bowl 2015 storm. 9PM on Sunday. We're really derailing this thread by talking about the past so ill make this the last post on the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But personally, I judge winter more on the actual events. That’s where my adrenaline gets going. Judge it against winter climo IMHO....that's how I do it. Sure, I'd love 80-100 days of continuous pack but that only happens like once every 1-2 decades here so trying to aim for that is going to cause a failing grade most winters.....realistically climo is going to be around 50-60 days here (and hopefully a stretch of 30 in a row at some point), prob closer to 70-80 in ORH hills and 30-40 along the coast near BOS and south shore (and less down near cape and south coast). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i thought you meant 2015, but 2014 same thing happened. Ok then I think it’s the 2015 one I’m remembering..thanks. And yes, I do now remember the back to back Super Bowl Sunday storms 2 years in a row. Thanks for the info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of pack for a very extended period throughout the winter, and many many events 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 GFS is more keyed in on my 1/22-/23 period. I think that is legit, time range not withstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitz Craver Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Two back to back screamers in the height of winter climo is definitely a shit streak on this winters white undies. Is what it is. Question is do we bleach it out and bring them back gleaming white, or do we have a massive rhea attack that leaves us waddling away in shame? Time will tell friends.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Most folks know how much of a snow OTG pack hound I am. Typically it bothers me immensely and I have trouble dealing with losing snow. But this one didn’t really bother me at all. I think it was having a snowless first half of winter and also going into it already knowing and conceding that we had 2 quick screamers coming right in to take it all away in the blink of an eye. This one was simply a stat padder. Very much like Morch storms . Here today , gone tomorrow . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of pack for a very extended period throughout the winter, and many many events Lots of snow in 95-96, its 138.8" was tops of my 13 winters in Gardiner by 30". That trails only 2007-08 since moving from Fort Kent in 1985. However, the major thaws, especially in January, tempered my enthusiasm. Five top SDDs for Gardiner winters: 1993-94 1,993 1986-87 1,879 1989-90 1,641 1992-93 1,352 1995-96 1,290 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Euro and GFS don't have a CCB feature, but look like one of those deals where you probably have a ribbon of good fronto delivering the goods. One of those linear type bands that run SW-NE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
