We keep hearing about record snow in Connecticut, but I was there two years ago and the snow was much deeper then. The image below is between Danbury and Newtown, along my bicycle commute. It looks like 18-24 inches of snow. During February 2011, there was closer to 30-36 inches.

Well, because snow is caused by global warming and January was a very warm month (©Drewski), it must be a record. QED
/sarc (in case anyone takes the above literally)
That amount is not even a “snow day” in upstate New York.
(snow day = school closed)
When I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s we had snow drifts grow up to the roof 10′-12′ high.
We called that FUN ! We carved out chambers inside the drifts and had a blast on a day off.
Today, to amplify man’s catastrophic on the climate, this inconvenient amount of snow is now declared a disaster.
That’s CAGW religion being played to the max.
Moronic zombie wimps.
In the limit… as we get more snow due to “global warming” the ice will build up and we’ll have an ice age. So they were all right all along. And they were so much smarter than us. And it was all down to rich-white-man-made CO2.
A short list of storms on NESIS going back to only the mid 1950’s.
Keep in mind this list is population weighted so
stormsnor’easters affecting Maine and other low population areas are likely not included, nor are any of the storms going back past the mid 1950’s.40 1956-03-18 1956-03-19 1.87 1 Notable view

An addendum.
Should the latest nor’easter crack the top ten (which it should come close to due to how well it compares to the January 2005 blizzard) it will be the first top ten storm in 8 years. Right about on schedule…
