Dare I say....I kinda miss TWC circa 1987-1995ish. Actual mets, some extremely extremely advanced mets (Stu Ostro, John Hope, Paul Kocin, Dave Schwartz, etc etc). Actually delved into atmospheric sciences and taught and took time to explain and weren't just on camera celebs. I know that outlet tends to get ripped by weenies near and far....but that was a much simpler time and we were at the mercy of the long range forecast they did once or twice an hour. Good stuff. The coverage of the 93 and 96 storms on there....epic.....just epic.  

1996 blizzard was the first real Internet storm. The old AOL dial up forecasts from SNONUT and PTRAVEL. I was a senior in high school and could not believe the 18-24 inches forecast but they certainly verified.

Imagine being a Washington Football Team fan seeing our once proud Redskins franchise deteriorate into mediocrity. Am 44 years old now and saw 3 Super Bowl wins in ‘82, ‘87, ‘91. Nothing at all since the 8th grade.

Climate change has to be playing a significant role. How many blockbuster snowstorms from 2006 onward up and down the Northeast? I would be interested in any comparisons to 1995-1996 winter which also flipped like a switch in early January after a warm November and December.

How long did Feb. 2010 DC Snowmaggedon show up on models? I was living in northern New Jersey at the time, and we missed the whole thing but cashed in with 20 inch storm later in February?
