i don't think I need to explain this one very much

Yeah still out in clown range but it’s been semi-consistent on ensembles the last 2 days. I’d def classify 1/6-7 at the first widespread “chance”…hopefully it actually becomes a legit threat once we get into the middle of next week.

Yes, so I’d agree up there…but we were 6-10” above that here. 

I've never had a 40" storm up here.

Cataclysmic! 

At least we can use this time to categorize semantic terms.  Then we're all ready when the big one hits.  Two weeks ago I think we satisfied "trace," "dusting," and "coating."  Lol.

DT had 3 terms:

SECS

MECS

HECS

They were in that order too. Weenies added other ones over the years and they may have changed rankings but the original 3 were above and they went in that order. This is like circa 2000-2001

BECS being the weenie fav.  Anything over 40 = BECS.

I haven’t had one in ORH either. Highest I’ve seen was Dec 1992 in Holden MA where we had 35”. 

There were legit 36-40” amounts in a narrow band in CT surrounded by a somewhat wider area of 30-36” in Feb 2013. But it’s a mesoscale band kind of similar to what happened in Dec 2020 when some narrow spots saw 36-42”. I think Xmas 2002 west of Albany had a narrow band of 36-42” also.

yeah i want to see it get to D7... you have all of the pieces there for a large storm. GEPS is similar, gonna see how the EPS looks. models have really strengthened the blocking today

I’d say 2013 was Biblical here…an all timer. A little less(not by much though) wind here than 78, bud more snow. It was a beast. 

Yes - well over 30 though it was windy. Officially 32 in Bridgeport I believe so I'll go with that.  Couldn't get out for 2 days.

Then there is me who has never seen anything over 10 (and that was the big thumper back in April)...

We did have the Historic Feb 69 storm that a SLP did a fujiwara in the GOM for 3 days that dumped 36" here and i believe 40" in Farmington.

The thing is, if it's biblical, you have to add a book to the bible.  "The Book of...?"

Closest as i just posted above was my avatar storm in Feb69, 36".

Ya…that’s a rare bird indeed.  Had about 34” here in ‘13, my sister about 5-6 miles south me had 36”, and about 10 miles south of her had 40”.  Most I’ve ever seen in one storm in my 56 years.

Yeah that was a legit epic storm for NNE. I’d prob reserve the weenie terms like BECS as storms that are just utterly crushing for a really large area. 1888 comes to mind. Maybe 1978 as well. Feb 2013 was honestly not too far off but I think the forecast was pretty good on that storm and it mostly occurred on a Friday night/early Saturday so the societal impact was not quite as large as some of those others.

It’s a HECS or bust pattern then. Lets go get it.

Jan 2015 had a band near 3' from my area, through Lowell and down into ORH.

4/1/97 was over 30” where I was. I’m also realizing the long duration event here in 2015 was over 30…..but I wasn’t home much for the time to measure. That extra 3” of wtf that night when I went to bed sort of convinces me.

Jesus...if nothing comes of this, then I quit.

I like that idea…but I’d even take major and run too .

Let me preface this by saying I understand that is a detemrinsitic run at hour infinity....

But yes..continues the trend of being either just too close to the coast and too far south, or just too far from the coast and too far north.
