2/29-3/2 Storm Threat

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:56:47 +0000

The Euro shows potential---can it keep it up for eight more days? I know I can't. I welcome your comments before this winter bar closes. And yes, this bar serves snake bites which now includes a jigger of GFS mixed with a little NAM and for those real special drinks we will add some JMA to create the JB Wallbanger. And please do not forget we do serve beers MIller A or Miller B for your particular refreshment. Lastly, we do not expect to get a Bermuda High while in this topic and we do not use flamethrowers to light our drinks. Thank you

I'm stealing this from a topic in the DC forum that was started a while back.

In Minneapolis...I remembered the holiday storms pretty well but didn't remember some of the odd/end storms in March and April until I looked them up (except for the dendrite event in '99...that was MSP's best overperformer since nobody had that pegged for 16")

November 27-28th '82 (16.4")

March 31st, 1985 (14.7")
Thanksgiving Blizzard of '85 (21")

Halloween Blizzard of '91 (30")
Black Friday Storm of '91 (14.3")
March 24th-25th, 1996 (10.4")
March 8th-9th, 1999 (16" dendritic event on just over 1" of QPF)
