What was the storm 5-10 years ago where Skowhegan got 42 inches? We were around 30 inches in Monson, but I think it was less impactful further south, mostly just a regional storm. Id have to go back on the Skowhegan snowmobile club Facebook page and find it as they had a vid of them in their Tucker out packing it down with no drag, but our machine I could still make the hills with the drag on. 

 

EDIT, this one 7 years ago

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EYH4G7hFR/

We had 21" from that event and it arrived mere hours after 8" of 30:1 feathers.  Feb 7-16 featured 45" from 3.83" LE and was quite a shock for the Lab mix from TX that we adopted on the 4th.
We also had 21" on Dec 29-30 and that one was meatier, 10:1 compared to 12:1 in Feb, but the most powerful storm that 16-17 winter was the Pi Day blizzard.

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

The most I've ever experienced is 33.6" in Clarksburg, MD 22-23 Jan 2016.  Besting the highest total in Burlington, VT by 0.5" in 2010.  I am the red dot in Montgomery County, MD in this NESDIS map:

...euthanize the whole flock…so I will probably never know if they have it since I won’t take that risk. If some get sick and die, so be it. The strong survive. 

I am pretty sure my wife would rather I get euthanized vs. her beloved flock.  It would be a bad, bad day in Casa de DAS if avian flu was discovered here.

And, just to be clear on why I am cluttering up this perfectly fine thread with this drivel above with legit threats on the horizon, I ascribe to the same practice as when a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter.

We’ll agree to disagree. A full week out of school and 30-40”  is “B” in my opinion for here. But it’s all good.

I think a Biblical storm would need to:

1) Be unequivocally a storm of record. Call it a Mt. Rushmore storm or whatever based on your climo. 

2) Have a generational to unprecedented to level of impact. You have to adjust for societal & technological changes to a degree, but biblical impacts are still possible in storms.

The Buffalo Christmas event while not an EC storm is a good example of something “biblical”. Unprecedented snowfall and wind combination in the historical record combined with catastrophic societal impacts. People literally freezing to death across the metropolitan area. Insane in any time period. 

It’s part of the reason why I’d call October 2011 a BECS level event in CT too. Unprecedented snowfall (for time of year) combined with catastrophic societal impacts through power grid failure.

Ha - on SOOO MANY occasions the past few years I have taken information from here about a storm threat out into the public and the second I do the threat vaporizes. I try to seal my lips until at least the main stream media start their nonsense so as to not jinx the storm threat.

We got to get some kind of pool together. With Venmo it should be simple enough. Maybe four seasons would run it for us. He seems to be the numbers guy.

Everyone needs to relax, January is going to produce for all of SNE.

Look up January 1985…bith the hemispheric pattern and F6 data.

30" at 10:1 leads to some rather simple math... 3" Liquid

-5.6° at BDL (interestingly no below zero temps)…but only 6.9” of snow.

Thats 10 to 1 you'll do better 

[Torch Tiger]

30" through Feb 11th leaves me with 32" and near or possibly BN snowfall to that date.

I was thinking the same thing. That would be close to below average.
