  1. Ha, my mother would probably be in that cohort. Her claustrophobia is so bad she would probably abandon the car.
  2. That event blocked up the Merritt by the tunnel. Cars couldn't get up the hill for hours. My cousin also wound up finding a hotel for the night in Westchester because the traffic was so bad.
  3. I heard rumors of a SSW event towards the end of the month. Anyone got eyes out that far? Probably just voodoo at this range anyway.
  4. Oh for sure. That few hundred feet of extra elevation/distance from the Sound often works to your advantage.
  5. Not sure it was white, but it was ridiculously cold.
  6. Funny how BDR's entire positive departure in '13 was attributable to one historic event. But that's often how it goes in the coastal plain.
  7. Yeah, my expectations are grounded in reality. Would be nice for the cold to over perform and see a few flakes. We shall see.
  8. That's an ouch in my hood, but would hardly be surprising given the time of year. Still, a very nice early season system in general.
  9. Can my lawn mower handle both my lawn and clear 4" of slop? Stay tuned...
  10. I was in sixth grade. I don't think I had a full week of school that winter. It was amazing.
  11. True, although 2012-13 sent Kevin and Scott and most of us to the brink before delivering the goods in historic fashion in early Feb.
  12. Right. I'll stand in my driveway with a hair dryer and blast each dendrite before it reaches the ground. Season salvaged.
  13. Question: can the term "torch" refer to criteria other than temperature? I'm not sure if I've ever seen it applied to dew point.
  14. Impressive dews at PWATs for the date to be sure, but temperature wise it's not that anomalous. We hit seventy on Christmas day a few years back, and almost 80 in spots in February two years ago. Those were impressive torches.
  15. That was a solid early season thump. Too bad it canceled the rest of winter until March.
  16. When was that first thump last November? Quick 6" dump and epic traffic snarl, as I recall.
  17. The world is also increasingly networked, so our ability to detect and distribute information about such events has proliferated. I'm sure you'd see that if you looked at a few decades of tornado reporting. It's possible a similar pattern emerges with other phenomena, even outside weather. News stories that would never escape the local newspaper can become national or international in nature in minutes with social networks.
  18. Smashed the "like" button. Bring it.
  19. I believe "cats and dogs" is the mot juste for this rain. Pouring.
  20. Lol for a second I thought you were calling for a repeat of '11-'12 and nearly had a heart attack.
  21. It really does interfere with my enjoyment of the event. Just knowing that it's going to disappear in a couple days sucks.
  22. The melting factor is a great point. Sun angle is a killer later in the season. Reminds me of that March HECS eastern Mass had two years ago where I got royally boned in subsidence. Nothing is more depressing than hearing Ray ecstatically tack on 3"/hr while I watch my 3" run off into the storm drain.
