    Everything is probably months away unfortunately.

    At least the gloomy weather keeps people indoors...we saw how it looked the other day with the nice weather and all the people out and about.

    Went for a walk...no wind, so quiet. Reminded me of the movie "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston... one of my favs.

    Yeah 2001-02 is my warmest met winter but finishes a little further down using astro winter period.
  14. doncat
    My station stats for astro winter are as follows...Temp was 2nd warmest on record just falling short of 2011-12. Precip was somewhat below normal at 9.06". Snowfall of 2.8" is the lowest on record, beating the 3.0" total in 1997-98. Overall grade .

    ^^^^ I remember that storm well...My wife and I had a meeting that we had to attend the next morning in Manhattan...Had to shovel out the car at 4am and drive a couple miles to catch the bus into the city.

    Hard to pick out a favorite snowstorm but the boxing day storm may be it for me...The storm itself coupled with it occurring around Christmas...We always would go to my parents on Christmas day to celebrate...Knowing there was a blizzard coming the next day seemed too good to believe.

    I didn't know about the story of Stephan Baltz...Wow so sad...I was 11 months old when that accident occured.

    Wow the early stuff...Had the aneroid barometer...not too good as you mentioned, remember always tapping it? Had a mercury min/max thermo..it had these little markers inside the glass that would stay at the highest and lowest readings..push a button to reset. It had a 6 ft cable which you put out the window. I've had a lot of equipment...Much of it I still have sitting in the basement...looks like a weather museum. First digital unit was a heathkit thermometer...remember those?

    My first weather equipment and first written observations started at around 10 years of age, maybe earlier. I'm now close to 60.

    Alan Kasper is an idol to a lot of us older folks...I learned a lot growing up listening to him.
  22. doncat
    Long time ago, don't remember lol.
  23. doncat
    Ok I checked my records...that storm was on the 5th-6th...i had 0.52" of precip and 4" of snow for the event, here on SI.
  24. doncat
    If I recall correctly, the March 2001 storm wasn't a rain bust but a too far East development for snow bust...at least for more western locations. I remember listening to one of the accuwx mets saying how the storm would be moving west closer to the coast...and I kept looking at radar saying no it wont.
  25. doncat
    One specific storm I remember from a young age was tropical storm Doria in 1971...I remember the flooding on the side of our house where my rain gage was...So I've been at this weather observing thing for a long time.
