    Me personally? In Hopewell, NJ we hit 11" snow/sleet on Jan 30-feb 2. Don't think I'll top that this storm but after 7.5" on Sunday, another 3-6" of fluff will be welcome. 

     

    I thought PHLs biggest snowfall was only 5.9 for some reason... Think they have a really solid chance at 6 inches.

    I think the Dec 16-17th event was a 6.6" event at Philly Int...

    I think tonight will be our last "clean" all snow storm for awhile.. upcoming week looks sleety.

    If we get a couple inches tonight...maybe a inch Friday then we're due for some snow/sleet/fzn stuff events. In our area we always have to deal with mixing/changeover. Although the totals may not be large we will be receiving constant wintry events which is cool...

    Don't think the N ticks are done. Good for you and me but bad news for dc/balt. This could honestly end up being PHLs biggest snowfall this year... Wouldn't surprise me with the way it is trending.

     

    Nah, I don't think so. Philly had a 7.7" already.

    '94 definitely once in a lifetime.  Hope I don't see another.  I worked for an Oil Co back then.  It was complete insanity.  Customer's pipes froze from the outages, the owner was buying every 4 wheel pick up he could find and putting tanks in the back and spikes on the guy's feet.  Salesman became service techs, and we became a 24/7 operation and it took us weeks to get everyone back in heat.  Our phones were so busy, people were calling the police and they would come to the office and give us their service request.  Never again.  Some homes that endured no heat for weeks, finally getting the pipes thawed, only to then be taken out again from the flooding Brandywine due to the ice jams.

    Call me crazy but I would highly enjoy another similar event. I didn't appreciate how once in a lifetime and how obscure that storm really was...

    Once in a lifetime never again, reverse train track ruts on roads with inches of ice they couldn't melt, drove around like slot car racers for weeks. I bet the youngin's in here can't believe it but true.

     

    My car took a beating that year. Alignment all screwed up, suspension and my brake line rusted and leakage..
