  1. Interesting fact: The last time BOS and metro west was eclipsed by areas south of us down to Philly and parts of BWI/IAD area was the last time we had a strong Nino-until this season so far. I’ll be very surprised if my area gets a single event >6” from now on this season. Looks like I’ll leave my snowblower with plenty of stabilized gas in the tank. I’ll continue the practice of starting it once a month over the summer and fall.
  2. I was a freshman that year-just turned 19 just before the mayhem. I just assumed that was winter in the area. Snow in the air the first week of October, solid event around 11/5. Way below zero many nights. Epic period!
  3. Well I witnessed 40+ in the sierras so no but it fell on top of a deep pack which was fortified by 2-3” seemingly daily for weeks before the event. When winters were great….
  4. It might be the famous blizzard of 66. I experienced it in upstate NY. Oswego with 100”. My campus got “only” 38.
  5. Whiteout for 5-10 minutes dropping about 0.75". Sun should melt off the cars by the time I get up.
  6. Yup. Warmth, spring baseball, returning late month. I’ve had it with this above normal temperature winter that doesn’t feel warm and every which way to not snow.
  7. I'll buy something when I see the flakes. I'm defeated and looking forward to warmth.
  8. Congrats CT/RI. You got some serious snow! I woke up a bit past 10 to white rain. About 1/2-1” have accumulated on grass and cars and roofs etc. Everything sinking south now so maybe an inch more? I’m ready for spring and counting the days till my March in Florida trip.
  9. There's going to be an uproar from the public. But schools cancelling 24 hours out have only themselves to blame.
  10. Yeah Euro starts reporting in around 6:45 for the 18Z run. Slight improvement but I was impressed by how little anyone other than the fishes got in terms of qpf. And thermals were pretty bad.
  11. I actually looked at Georgre's NOGAPS (now NAVGEM) and it was pretty juicy up to the pike but very fast.
  12. I actually got to have dinner with him following a bet one of us won-can't remember who...lol. We were trying to bring in one of the big snows hitting DC during the 2009-10 winter. He kept showing me the nam on his phone but alas it was not to be. I had known him from Scott Simard on ne.weather, Scottne on irc, messenger and then Clinch Leatherwood here (another name too maybe?).
