  1. I have a 4 bedroom Summer house in Brigantine 1/2 block from the beach!!! Empty during the Winter!!
  2. I love reading all of the in-depth analysis here on this site. It is so wonderful to have so many posters with such a vast knowledge of the weather!!
  3. I think it is great to look back on such a unique event and learn. One thing I learned, unfortunately first hand when my 1:15 trip from hagerstown to Westminster ended up being 6 hours, is that it really doesn't matter how "warm the roads are" if the surface is below freezing and heavy frozen precipitation is falling!!! Those warm roads don't end up very well!!
  4. I do a lot of observing and not too much talking around here, but in this case it appeared to me that all of the evidence anyone needed was right in front of them. JB said 2 days before the storm to take the Euro snow totals and take 75% of them to be real close. He obviously took a lot more into account than just looking at the model but what I was amazed most at was how much "in denial" so many on here and in the media weather forecasting business were. Look at the model consensus for accumulating snows that we had, for multiple runs, with some minor fluctuations, particularly in the last 24 hours before the event. Yet, all I heard all over the place was "climo doesn't support this," "The ground is warm and it won't accumulate," "It's November, I will be happy with dusting," etc. etc. All along, we had great moderate consensus staring right at us. JMO, maybe the facts and model evaluation that everyone always does should not be outweighed by history, climo, and all those other factors that made a lot of people not see what was right in front of us.
