Howdy! I haven't posted in AMWX since late SEP 2014, a full 9+ years before I retired from the NWS (NWSFO ALB 1992-1994, WFO MLB 1994-2023). A friend sent me the link to the part 1 thread for the HECS in the Mid Atlantic forum for its quality memework. I peeped subsquent threads, and it was a fun follow. Congrats to all who scored big time with this one!
Now that I've retired to my original home stomping ground of upstate eastern NY as of June 2025, I figured I'd dust off this account and start posting now and again. Quite a big change from the past, as pretty much all my prior posting was in the tropical forums/threads. Ironically, I was rewarded for moving with one of the worst winters locals can remember, in terms of both cold and snow, dating back to my first 31 years upstate - some have mentioned 77-78. I didn't follow winter storms all that much during my 30+ years down in ECFL.
So far this winter, at my home in West Milton (western Saratoga County), I've received 56.2". Not bad for my first winter back.
I look forward to re-kindling some online interactions on here!
