Great to have you on the forum! Those SE guys spend more time talking about when to start a thread than the weather.

Thank you for pinning this again. A LOT of useful information in this thread, especially for the newer members that want to learn. This is a link for the Euro maps (free), along with ensembles. It's not detailed, but handy none the less. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-bin/expertcharts?LANG=en&MENU=0000000000&CONT=namk&MODELL=ecmwfens&MODELLTYP=2&BASE=-&VAR=pslv&HH=0&ZOOM=0&ARCHIV=0&RES=0&WMO=&PERIOD= This is a link for the composite climate maps people use when trying to predict the future based on how the atmosphere acted in the past under certain conditions. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/usclimdivs/

You guys have inspired me. I love winter, but looking forward to trying my hand at planting a few items next year......

Be great to have your posts Marietta, have a great week!

Fred, Great to have you aboard! I have been amazed at how your neck of the woods has become a 2nd tornado alley over the past decade and look forward to hearing from you on the board often.

My memory from that decade is a little foggy, but I think that event for you guys in 1998 was on the heels of a similar event for us that same year (a few weeks earlier). Both events were cutoff lows. The one that hit the tricities area snowed 3 inches per hour for 7 straight hours and totaled 24-30 inches around Johnson City. Power was out for several days. I remember the population then being 55,000ish, and 50k were without power! I had a buddy in medical school at the time, living in a 500 sq foot, one bedroom apartment (with gas heat). There were over 25 people staying with him for 5-6 days. You would wake up and it would look like Jonestown the morning after with bodies just laying EVERYWHERE. Pretty crazy snowstorm. The reason I remember your snow was the setup was almost identical to what we had just experienced and I thought we were going to get hammered again. As the event got closer, the models began to hone in on the exact track, which was just west of us (sparing us, and hitting you guys with 12-14 inches of heavy wet snow). Great memories, even though the details are a bit fuzzy.

Welcome to our subforum Bill. Nice to see you posting. I highly recommend you post, and post often. It's all a part of trying to become more informed when it comes to weather in our region. There will always be a few that rub people the wrong way or clash with another member's personality, but I highly encourage you to post your thoughts and observations. As long as the posts aren't attacking another member and are on topic you will be fine. I welcome disagreements about weather, if done with information (models and analysis) and not just someone's opinion pulled out of the air. If someone gets out of line, our mods will address that as we go along. Again, it's great to have you. We look forward to hearing from you in the future!

Welcome Jeff, really looking forward to your insights this year. It's great to see you in this subforum. Hope you have a great finish to your week.

Highly recommend Dacula's site. He has a tremendous amount of good stuff there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You would have to think January of 1985 has to be up there. Search YouTube, several events that month into February AND arctic cold mid month. Dates with still shots below (quality not the best, videos are grainy at best) January 3 January 16-17 January 29th February 11th Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
