Totally get it and thank you for your great posts here of late-agree it does look similar. I meant more in a general sense as we've moved through the last few winters I see these analogs posted alot on twitter etc....
it was one of the big winters of 13/14 or 14/15 but we had a storm here that dropped 6 inches in one hour at BDR in Feb. It was the year that March ended up cold and dry...
problem that time of year is cloud decks coming off the still cold lake waters...so get as far away from the lakes as possible but still in the totality path.
