North and West

My favorites overall, without going into detail, are:

2/8/1994 - 2/11/1994, solely for being 11 years old after the nothing winters preceding it.

January 1996, because of course

December 30, 2000, because it was the first big one since 1996, and it happened to bullseye Morris County; 18" in 6 hours.

February 5, 2001, because it over performed and was very pretty

January 2011, since we had some pretty good thunder snow

February 2014, as we had a big front-end thump, and then sleet later on

January 2016, which was more than 1996 in my neighborhood

March 7, 2018, recent, but amazing to see. Devastated my neighborhood with 20"+ of heavy, wet snow bringing down trees and power lines, but the daytime rates in March were amazing to see from the perspective of a weather enthusiast.

That which shall not be spoken.

I wish I had a camera back then  that first storm caused such high snowfall rates along with lightning and thunder that you could literally see the snow piling up!  It went from nothing during the morning rush hour to a wall of white by 10 AM!
 

I was 11 also

I remember several things about that Tuesday, February 8th: We got to school (I was in sixth grade), and watched the snow start in English class, then moved on to Gym class, where I remember opening the door to the outside of the locker room and it being just a wall of white.

Later that evening, when I got home, I remember my dad (who had told me many previous times that any snow in the preceding years was “not a real storm” and would regale me with stories of the 1960-1961 and proceeding winters) mentioning how coming home on Route 3 was an absolute nightmare (he had a briefcase cellphone at the time), and that he hadn’t seen something like this in years. He then told me, “Now this is a real winter.”

Again, my all-time favorite. It had everything; snow, ice, record cold, long duration, plus I was 11.

.

That was a fun week

December 30, 2000 and February 8, 1994 for Morris County. The recent years have been very good, but not far enough in my memory to be nostalgic for them.

I took it as a statement that the Arctic Ocean at Barrow isn't frozen yet. Looks like the sea ice is getting a slow start (again) this year.

Got it. It looked like something that was being copied and pasted, and I didn't get the context.

Pretty amazing since the board has only been here for seven...

Ha! Whatever the predecessor board was. Eastern US Weather or something like that?

Just had to make a new account after Verizon discontinued e-maii via FiOS earlier in the year (TIL I've been on this board for 12+ years!); what's the general consensus for the next 30 days? Just catching up here. Thank you in advance.
