I would say CT has skated most realtive to climo...not as much regression there since 2015.

2015 sucked , we watched you guys celebrate the most epic stretch ever while we had several 3-6” storms , so close but so far away, it was a tease watching cantore celebrate time after time again with thundersnow in Boston.

Relative to Climo, ORH has done better than just a little east .. quite the gradient between metro west and say Hubb Dave even  

I'm at 28.7" (22/23), 33.5" (23/24) the past two years 

Lots of very marginal events where elevation helped the last couple winters.

Just want snow, that fair ?XD

Yea 2015 was awful which was topped off by the epic euro bust on the blizzard.

Well it is…sorry.  I think you know what I meant.  
 

Anyway, we look to be entering a very good pattern.  It can fail, but I don’t think it will. Nothing wrong with pointing out the potential pit falls…every pattern will have them, but there seems to be more chances of something good happening with this set up that’s incoming, than what we’ve seen the last few years. 

Don't forget , CT was also ground zero for 2010-2011 and cleaned up in the October 2011 unicorn, which also porked me. CT ground zero again in Feb 2013 blizz.

 This was what I was explaining…it was above normal here, but tame in comparison to EOR, and eastern Mass.  It did suck for us watching that.

As I said, every region has areas that get porked more than others when it gets bad.  Or in the case of 2015, get less(a lot less here) than the other areas that did phenomenal.  

Let’s see how this all works out now as we move forward.

I dont care much for seasonal averages. Give me a memorable 20+ event over any over-performing queefs. It’s been 14yrs since my last bonified 18+. I’d much rather get one of those in a BN season at the hands of some “average winters” made up of 4-8” dimes. 

I’ll take a Jon Holmes storm over an over performing queef anytime.

It would be ideal to be able to return the favor.

I don't think you will ever get 115" season there while e MA is significantly less...the reverse is easier since this area jets out into the ocean.

Talking about a KU where WOR picks up 30” while EMA dryslots their way to 6”…and we can all put the snow map as our avatars. You’d love that.

True.  
 

The funny thing about Feb 13, was that the morning of the storm, it was already snowing here…our local METS had scaled back our accumulations, and said that Boston and eastern areas would really clean up, cuz that’s where the big banding  would probably set up.  And just by chance the death band came right through here, and then down into LI.  Got fortunate I guess.

Interior SE NH like 20 miles north of you might be even worse relative to climo, but that whole area from like Reading, MA to Epping/Deerfield, NH has been screwed badly.

That extends right up I-95 to PWM, IMO.  Here's the last 5 winters (Climo is 68.7")

59.6"

41.3

44.1

56.5

38.0

I do remember that forecasts were cut back In the am especially western and central CT, then it was off to the races

Yes sir. Bob Maxum had cut it back, and I was furious lol.  But man did That crash and burn.

Hope the worm turns like it did when I was much younger.  We moved from uber-urban East Orange NJ (30k people, 4 sq.mi.) to a lake community in the Jersey Highlands in summer 1950.  The first 5 winters there were all BN and with no storms of note.  The next 6 winters, 55-56 thru 60-61, averaged more than 150% of climo and featured 7 storms of 18-24" and a depth into the mid 40s after the last of those 7 in early Feb 1961.  Not impossible?

Here in Southwest CT March of 2018 was our snowiest March of all time although not as much as eastern Mass.

My log shows 20" for March, with another 6.5" on April 2nd.  Do you see something different?  Although the 3/7 event gave me 9" with 2" liquid equivalent.  Tashua Hill in Trumbull, at 600', received 16".  3/13 somewhat similar.

I have found when it snows earlier, its often a sign you are in a good spot...happned here last January with the OES appetizer.

Been a pretty odd snow hole relative to normal from your area, particularly coastal York Cty, down to NE MA. Haven't broken 45" in at least 6 years with 29" last year being the worst.

Ya, we had the 3/7 one that hit here pretty good(double digits), but that was it for March up this way, the other two were piddling.  Out east killed it with the next two though.
