Nice call!!

An interesting breakout would be the people that were actually around for 79/83 and forward.  I've only been here for the 09/10 storms so Feb 5/6 got my vote, but I would have loved to see how '96 compared.

I was here for all of them. It is amazing the differences that occur in accumulations in our subforum. 79 was not a huge event west. But east got slammed. 2003 I got absolutely mauled while east was a nice storm. 96. Just crushed all of us as well as 2010. But the second 2010 event was huge east and north of me. trix got like 10+ more inches than me just 10 miles to my north from the second event. It is a wild area that we live in when it comes to snow.

Ill never forget this Feb 2010 satellite image because it shows the NYC north screw job so well. Probably a once in 20 year type event. But it doesnt make my top 2 storms:

Edit: I should say once in 20 year out here. You guys to east did much better with part 2.

Feb 4-7 Total:

Snowmaggedon totals:

96 pawns 03 with coverage of totals aoa 2ft. Not even close.

Agreed. But when it comes to snow its all about MBY. 

2003 by far. I had 3 feet.

Honorable mention to 1996:

Haha! Thats ridiculous. Congrats guys. Enjoy and please post lots of pics!

I "only" got 26 inches with the superstorm. We got dry slotted for a bit of the storm. It is still in my top 3 because of the wind and drifting. It definitely deserves to be in my top three weather events of all time. I was tempted to swap the 10 and 79 storms. The third highest snow total I have ever recorded was with the 2010 storm. But I was 10 in 1979. That is the storm that has forever hooked me on Noreasters. Good picture of the dry slot from the superstorm.

dec 09 and feb 10 were bigtime, but i still think 96 and 03 were the cream of the crop here and of course 93 was the godfather of east coast storms.  personal opinion.

Agree on your three biggest. 96, 03, 93, 79 and 10 are the best in that order for me. 96 and 03 both dropped 3 feet in my area.

Was a great storm. But it was not even in my top 5 of all time. It was the start of the most incredible winter ever for the Mid Atlantic though. The February bombs blew this storm away.

Drift on a fence.

Glad we didnt need the AC for a while.

Getting destroyed.

If it had been the only storm of the winter it would have been unreal. But we got crushed even harder later in the winter. Best winter of my life, by far.
