SouthCoastMA Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I was 9 during the March 93 storm and remember expecting a 'backlash' the next day. I wonder where I heard that from, maybe Schwoegler? Wasn't like it was retrograding from the Gulf of Maine or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that would have made it better was another 8 hours of it But it snowed all day Friday before the the real crazy shit started after dark that day…so it was a pretty long storm. Definitely one for the record books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Feb 83, or 82 I can't remember was also 2'+ in wtby anyway Feb 83 PD 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there have been many storms since that were much better snow producers for sure. So in that regard it was somewhat of a let down imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 We had good snow, as those maps show but this was the first storm that I remember being really hyped and in the end, I didn’t think it really lived up to the hype up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, living through 78 as a soon to be 10 yr old 5 weeks afterwards, 78 had longer lasting winds, and thus bigger drifts, and even longer lasting blizzard conditions. But Feb 13 had even more snow than 78 here, with legit 6”+/hr rates that were absolutely mind boggling to witness. Feb ‘13 finally lived up to the performance and ferocity of 1978 for me…and I pretty much treat/think of them as equals for my area. Until that point, nothing had lived up to 78 here. But Feb 13 finally did for me. Both incredible storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChangeofSeasonsWX Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, WinterWolf said: And that’s exactly the point…as John said, it’s pretty much impossible. Feb13 gave me 33”. The two January monsters in 2011 gave me close to 2ft, and then 18-20” respectively. So that’s kind of how it works. Dec of 20 and Feb 1st of 21 were 15-18”too. February ‘06 was huge here, 20 plus. Don’t know what you got in that? But that was a great storm here and down into NYC. In February 2006 I got 11.4". Biggest storms that I remember for snowfall were January 2005 with about 24", January 2022 with 23.2", and January 2015 with 20.4." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you are I can see that, but more East 78 was by far better, drifts like I've never seen before or after, not that 13 was a slouch, just not in the same class here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes upstate NY(which is significantly west of SNE/NE) got significantly more snow than here, due to your westward location. So for your area out there, for sure 2 feet was widespread. But not in NE.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think Feb 2013 was the most impressive display of snowfall and wind that I have seen....March 1993 for just wind and April 1997/March 2018 for just snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s this whole point…it’s always different for everybody. It’s never gonna be the same. And the reason it wasn’t the same out east on Feb 13, was because the real death band set up over here, and down through LI. Had it set up over the east…it would have been a different feeling for the east folks. But it didn’t, so 78 still ranks above. But not for here because we got absolutely obliterated with that band in 13…it was just totally off the charts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'll say every time I mention that storm... the totals were WAY off in some areas. I had measurements from our house in Granby, my grandfather from the utility company in Simsbury and others. We had 28 inches in Granby and was told 25 in Simsbury. Official totals are far less... and I don't believe them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had nothing on the board for next Friday, Saturday? The models lost a day 10 storm?!? Never seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
