ORH_wxman Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 23 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: I think we had some snow showers pass through the region iirc then. Yeah there was no big storm on Xmas eve in 1993. But there were snow showers. We actually salvaged a white Cmas that year in ORH because of that. We got about an inch of snow with the snow showers after the 12/21/93 grinch storm had wiped out our snow pack. I don’t recall any Xmas eve storms in the 1990s except 1998 which was strictly a SE MA storm. We had nothing in ORH. Obviously 12/23/97 was close…day before Xmas eve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 If that snow map were to verify I will cancel all May 1st threads for good, never make a severe thread again, or ever mention the word thunderstorm or severe ever again. 2 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 46 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Wasn’t here for that but my benchmark Christmas storm is 2002. Shows the north's sharp cutoff. Forecast here was 8-12", verified at 1". Belgrade Village had 8", GYX 18". Christmas 2017 brought 8" of powder but I don't recall that much wind. Best Christmastime storm for me was 12/24/66, 15" with visibility down to 100 yards, and thunder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my dad just happens to be here now and just told me he had to plug in his diesel Peugeot (keep the glow plugs warm) at my grandmother's house to make sure it would start after the Christmas day festivities. Of course, it had to be plugged at any temp below about 25F if not garaged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 1 hour ago, Go Kart Mozart said: Aren't 46" storms commonplace in Sea Girt? State's greatest snowfall, 34", was at Cape May (which has the lowest average snowfall of any NJ town). It was part of the Feb 1989 blast that also notched a -2 at Tallahassee, FL's only subzero temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We narrowly missed a monster in 1991. It was on all the "long range" models at the time which I believe were the UKMET/MRF/Euro and maybe all went to 120 or 144, the Euro was barely known to exist to most back then although it was out 2-3 years already. You can see here why the models were seeing something but the air mass was probably going to be an issue anyway. Al Roker and Nick Gregory were mentioning it a few days out here in NYC. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1991/us1223.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 I recall 4-6" on the South Coast one Christmas morning in the early to mid 90s but can't recall which one.maybe Will knows. If I had to guess Dec 93 or 94? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
