Fozz

We are all too disheartened this winter to even reminisce.

Then I was young and unafraid..

And dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung no wine untasted

Actually, crappy winters are the best time to reminisce about the great storms of the past.

I don't know if this thread makes me

1.) Happy to look back and remember the good times

or

2.) Depressed to look back and then look at the crappy pattern we're in and realize we aren't going to be seeing anything like this (much less anything even 1/3 as good as this) anytime soon.

I'm think I'll go with #2.

Definitely 1.

I had a Jebman moment.......lolz

YEAH JEBMAN.....we're in for an EPIC SNOWSTORM

Ferocious snow, lightning and thunder, a blizzard if we're lucky, and at least 18 inches of snow. That is 18 INCHES or even MORE.

We've been waiting for years to get something like this, but the time has come.

Bring it on!!!!!!!!

It was right after midnight two years ago when Don S compared this to the Knickerbocker storm. It was a huge turning point for me towards getting on board (at first I was extremely skeptical).

Bump. It's time to bring back this thread. Luckily the eastern archives are back.

Didn't feel it up north of Baltimore... The aftershock I mean

Me neither.

I see folks using the word "violent" a lot.

That's actually a semi-technical term with a specific meaning-- i.e., that the quake produced MM IX shaking or higher. Usually in violent shaking, you have kitchen cupboards and refrigerators flying open and emptying and buildings collapsing and things like that. I don't think this quake produced violent shaking.

Here's an entry about the MM scale: http://en.wikipedia....intensity_scale

Based on that scale, I'd call it moderate.

About 7 minutes ago I felt some pretty loud rumbles and our chandelier near the entrance was swinging a bit. It lasted 30 seconds or so. I was almost ready to run outside.

This was pretty scary.

Stop living in the past

Shut up weenie.

The snow was really picking up around this time.

What was the strongest pressure from that north Atlantic storm? I recall it being a monster.

It was exactly a year ago that the snow really got going.......I dropped my siblings off at their martial arts lesson Friday evening, and then decided to drive north just as the snow started to stick on the roads. There was probably 1-2" of snow at that point. It was a very wintry scene, slowly getting darker, and I kept driving north on York Road until I was up around Sparks, MD at Ensor Mill Road. Then I turned back, picked them up and got back home.

Thanks WVclimo, those radars are beautiful.

Thanks Chris

You did pretty well with this too, didn't you?

I know for a while it was forecast to stay to your south but it did hit NYC

No, actually NYC was totally shafted, as badly as we were on 12/26.

Ian, do you have any total QPF maps for those runs? As a weenie, I want some pink and purple!

unfortunately, other than an IAD sounding from 2/5, its all I got

No more WeatherTAP radars?

Thank you so much mitch......please post more.

The thread said "whatever else" so...

I'm sorry, but "snowmageddon" and "snowpocalypse" are the two cheesiest names ever.

Superstorm, Blizzard of 96, PDII, all great, but these two.....

If it's good enough for Obama, it is good enough for us. Half a century from now I'll be telling my grandchildren about a blizzard so huge that they called it Snowmageddon.

WBAL's blog has some good stuff.......go to Feb 2010
