maybe you missed the part where on the day of, there are some surprises. Happens nearly every event and we saw it with that earlier event where VA jackpotted.
My personal top 5 is now:
1/96: was in southern PA with 3' totals and massive drifts. I'll most likely need to move to the country before experiencing this again.
2/10 part I
1/16
2/03
2/10 part II
This is great. It was a lot of fun staying up Friday night talking w folks here as the band's kept moving into the area from the se. Some of those bands were really great.
