    Yes, very true! It was not the same kind of set up by any means. We were lucky to have everything perfectly placed for that to happen, in that situation.

    Yes, the Feb. 9-10, 2010 storm was perhaps about the best case scenario of a Miller B working out here. It bombed out in just the right place (off coastal NJ, if I recall correctly?) and sat there or moved slowly. And we had the upper low go right through us too, I think.

    Hahaha, you made me go and look at that! Damn that is gorgeous and classic way to get a good snow here! I know it's only an ops model at range, but that scenario has shown up a couple or so times during that approximate time frame.

    I'm just amazed (and happy) that we even have a shot at a few inches from this event. And it would probably be of the cold powder variety given the temps. Given that, who gives a s**t how much NYC or BOS get or if they get crushed, if we at least share in some decent stuff too.
  5. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yup, that's the main take-away. So instead of wide right, we hit the goal post this time and it managed to bounce through for a FG!

    Damn...

    Unreal! What a 4th quarter. ETA... Hopefully the Bills keep them off the board for the last 13 sec.!

    Yeah for sure. At this point I'm honestly not sure how much any subtle changes will make a difference in the overall scheme, but we'll have to wait and see. I really wouldn't mind right now if we can get the kind of "scraps" like the CMC showed earlier, like 2-4" cold powder (or even 3-5" if we dare to dream!). Then who cares what New England gets as long as we don't get shut out.

    Damn. Wide right yet again. Beginning to resemble FSU kickers from the early 1990s!!!

    Hope we don't end up with "Ishtar" or a bunch of Ed Wood films!!

    Tough choice, I know! Maybe add "root canal" to your list of things to decide on that might be as much fun. Those are always good (and yes, I've gotten a root canal once!).

    Hey there @WxWatcher007...totally agree with you!! Having grown up in the snowbelt area of northeast Ohio, the rates in some of those lake bands is incredible. And just awesome to experience as well!

    Honestly, it's primarily one particular person in there now. Maybe some find his schtick a bit humorous, but it grows old real quick.

    Yup. If we can keep some highs pressing down with us on the cold side of the boundary, we can actually do quite well in that situation. Wasn't the PD-II storm essentially a massive overrunning event, with a huge cold high anchored in? It wasn't a big wound up storm.

    I think PSU described it best about last winter. He mentioned something that it was very unusual that his area and around there did quite well but the metro areas were so far, far worse off. In a more normal year, even with some of the marginal setups, the cities would not have done so poorly for the season (single digit amount) when he got the amount he did, from what he said. I know there are many factors, climate and also the air mass was just plain sucky for so long after all the Pac puke in December and part of January. The biggest event I got last year where I'm at was 5" from that prolonged Jan. 31-Feb. 2 event. There was the event in February that looked like it was going to be decent, or at least an interesting sleet bomb. Ended up a few hours of sleet here that covered the ground (less than an inch) and it was over before you could blink. I ended up with a single digit total despite doing a little better than DCA, most of that from the Jan/Feb event I just mentioned.

    What, you don't think Belushi pulled it off??

    Add another Beethoven fan here!

    You can definitely see the southern wave is farther southwest from 00 to 06 to 12Z. And that energetic shortwave over New England from 06Z disappears. It does look more positively tilted, but I can see why it's potentially better.

    Nahhh, no problem bragging a bit or mentioning that you got Christmas snow in SC! At this point, "discussing" that storm and calling it the one which "should not be named" is kind of for humor. At least for me. Yeah it sucked at the time but it's weather and it's like 10 years ago. Plus, there are other similar events that "screwed" this area, but that one I suppose is one of the more dramatic examples. It was the season after we got record-breaking snows so I think a lot of people perhaps had unrealistic expectations still. Hell, I'm still more "hurt" about Cleveland (my home town) losing TWO World Series, both in Game 7, both extra innings...1997 vs. the Marlins and 2016 vs. the Cubs. And the Browns loss to Elway and the Broncos to "The Drive" and "The Fumble". LOL!! At least they did get the NBA championship in 2016 though!!
  22. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yes, the "Voldemort" storm ("he who should not be named!"). It perhaps wouldn't have been so badly remembered, but this area even the day before was looking like we'd share in some good snows. I think there were even watches/warnings out for awhile.
  23. Scarlet Pimpernel
    I believe the Ohio blizzard of 1978 featured a 504dm height closed low at its peak (and a 957mb low that went right through the state). That was unreal.
  24. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Agree...that was a bridge too far right there.

    Wow, the Lord High Executioner, the Reaper, comes out of retirement (temporarily) to take a blasphemous soul! It's like an emeritus reaping!!!
