A bit out of season, I know... But its a nice thread over at Wright
Weather, so I thought I'd borrow my part and bring it over here ![]() March 13-14, 1993... What can I say? Winds to nearly 60 mph RECORDED AT TTN!, plus about a foot of snow and 2 or 3 inches of sleet on top of that... the next day after some freezing rain and then light snow, it was frozen so hard you could walk miles without slipping through! January 7-8, 1994... Biggest Ice Storm I ever lived through... over an inch of accrual, almost got killed by falling branches litterally SECONDS after I walked under them... February 8, 1994.... Burst of heavy snow and the funnest 2 mile walk home from middle school ever.... February 3-4, 1995... Almost the heaviest snow I ever saw, piling up at 3+ inches per hour, ended up with 14 inches total after just 10 hours of snowfall, most of that actualy fell between 3 and 7 that morning... November 28-29, 1995... what a lovely way to start the winter, with a snowy surprise at the end of November... while everyone was mentioning the chance of it going to all snow, most official forecasts just had some mixing with no accumulation... But when I heard the pitter-patter of sleet at 11PM the night of the 28th, I knew that it was the start of something special... not just a special storm, but a special winter! January 7-8, 1996... The only *PURE* Blizzard I ever experienced, with true blizzard conditions (including the now defunct temperature requirement)... plus by far the heaviest snowfall at 28 inches... For it to be snowing and blowing so hard that I can hardly see the neighbor's house across the street.... just amazing... March 31-April 1, 1997... another surprise, plus a mega bomb off the coast (which WAS expected) that dumped up to 3 feet of snow in parts of Massachusetts and New York. I only had 8.8 inches, but by far that's awesome for the end of March/beginning of April... not to mention how the forecasts were calling for only some mixing less than 24 hours before... another one of those forecasts that just kept being revised upward! April 18, 1997... Surprise! Heavy rain on the back side of a developing coastal changes to snow, and we get 1.5 quick inches... that was hardly forecast to occur (most TV's didn't even have a mention of snow!)... Latest accumulating snowfall ever experienced... March 14-15, 1999... last big snowfall before going to college the next fall, almost 6 inches of sloppy wet snow that stuck to everything! oh you don't know how much I regret not having access to a camera or camcorder for that one... January 25, 2000... Surprise! Didn't have snow in the forecast til the night before! Also the first major snowfall while I was at Rutgers! February 5, 2001... Blam! Only 5 or so inches at Rutgers, but came crashing down at the worst possible time, early rush hour... I walked from Piscataway to the other side of New Brunswick getting back from class to my apartment, and that was FASTER than traffic was going! December 25, 2002... First thunder snow I can remember! Too sweet! February 16-17, 2002... probably the last mega storm I will ever experience at home (came home from Rutgers for this baby)... though this was actually dissapointing: no +SN at all, and only 15.1 inches of snow... April 7, 2003... +SN in April! Even the other April storms I've had didn't have that!!! 4.6 nice inches, then -PL. December 5-6, 2003... First thunder snow in the TTN obs!!! Plus just an awesome way to start winter, more snow than any other storm that winter... came home from State College to get a piece of that one! ===== Raymond C.

: - a big storm in NY/NJ in the late 60s. It took my father 24 hours for a one hour commute from NYC back to central NJ. (Anyone got a date on that storm? Raymond?) http://wintercenter.homestead.com/photo1969.html http://www.newsday.com/other/special...tory.htmlstory |

![]() Wow. So both the storms I remembered cost officeholders their jobs (John Lindsay and Mike Dukakis). I think Lindsay is the only politicial I can recall that ran on the Republican and Liberal Party lines (because of some quaint NYC ballot laws). - Steve Stein |
