Just coming here to note that I think winter 2009-2010 broke me psychologically regarding snow. For the rest of my life in the mid-atlantic I will be chasing another winter like that, even though I know it's wildly improbable that will ever happen.
I was in college in Adams County PA for all three storms and I will never forget any of them. Driving rural backroads after the twin February storms -it was like driving in damn canyons of snow. Literally above the roofline of my sedan on both sides It was like living in Montana for a week. Blinding wind driven snow jebwalks during the second february storm. Nowhere to put the snow that was stacked on top of your car because it was surrounded by piles stacked up after the first storm. Roads completely impassible.
2016 was like that for a glorious 18 hours but then drip drip melt melt... not the same. All I'm saying is, I understand why Ji is the way Ji is.
