Blizzard of 2013 Recap: Snowfall Totals

Last weekend's nor'easter will go down as one of the most remarkable storms in New England history. A storm that rivals the Blizzard of 1978! An intensifying low pressure system produced widespread one to two feet of snow across the region. In the case of New Haven County, Connecticut, Hamden picked up over three feet of snow, 40" in fact. Remarkable...that has to be a record of some kind! It's unheard of! Massachusetts enforced a traffic ban in anticipation of the impending blizzard which was only the second time ever; the other time being the Blizzard of 1978! Thundersnow reports were prevalent across southeastern parts of Southern New England due to the immense instability in the atmosphere and the overpowering strength of the storm. Areas that were hit the hardest lost power in the aftermath of the blizzard and it took a couple days for power to be completely restored. I will forever remember the intense snow band and the blinding wind-swept snow that resulted last Friday night. It's nothing I have seen before in my life!
