Hoth

Maybe not, but how fooking epic would that be if it actually went down that way.

Thousand points of light.

Last minute latent heat release always brings these bad boys a little farther north. I'm fine where we're sitting right now.

Purity rings for everyone!

Yep, lived on Broadway for several years and spent an inordinate amount of time at CBC and Lord Hobo. Good times.

Agreed. This pic is like two weeks after that just up the street from CBC. 30"+ in the blizzard, another 2 feet + in that ridiculous long lasting system, Valentine's Day ML massacre, some other smaller events sprinkled in. Special.

Come to Butthead.

Hoth is hurt.

Yeah, this has a 12/19/09 vibe, but pulled northwest a bit. Fingers crossed! Would be nice to shake off the last few seasons in style.

If that played out, I might pull a white Christmas even with a Grinch storm. Woof.

Merry Christmas. Ho. Ho. Ho.

Lol, the depression didn't even wait for after the storm with that one. That sleet-infused cement did have some staying power though as I recall

I remember watching the dual pol sleet line racing north through Jersey and LI early that morning and knew the forecasts were in trouble

Wanna say Jan '18 blizzard for last double digit hit. Not that long ago, but I've been badly spoiled by the last decade.

You have to say his name three times to summon him. But it's a bit early for that.

That was much more extreme blocking as I recall, but the general flavor is right.

At ease, DT, I kid. And I've been around long enough to not trust snow maps at 24 hours, let alone a week out.

It's showing zero for Richmond. Seems pretty spot on to me.

Stop, I can only get so hard!

I'd lock that in a second. That's my whole winter of '19-'20 with inches to spare!

Some things never change: "WXRisk admitted it was a bust, referring to the storm as a Pamela Anderson storm, (a bust and everyone knows it), Kind of a generic admittal but making sure he dragged every other forecaster into it, after all, they said it toooo, waaaaaahhh. I can't wait to see how Bastardi refers to this tomorrow. He REALLY hyped this thing up and even was patting himself on the back in the last 3 posts for predicting this baby 2 weeks ago. He warned of life-threatening situations and historical consequences. I enjoy and respect Mr. Bastardi's column, it will be interesting to see if he "takes out the garbage" big time, or tries to spin some kind of twisted, weak victory because a few places in New England got 2'."

Kinda like Jan '15 down in the NYC area.

Never flipped.

Looks like we start to shut down here soon. Oh well. There will be others.

In the past few minutes, I've had a few weak sauce versions of what you recalled with such crystalline lucidity yesterday. A sudden roar of wind, a momentary darkening of the sky and a whipped bombardment of super wet flakes. Not of the same ilk as your changeover in '92, not by a country mile; these williwaws did not herald a permanent phase change--in fact it's back to mostly rain now--but there seemed a faint kinship with or echo of your memory in the proceedings that made me smile.
