DaculaWeather Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 OK, here are the maps for that time period. I intentionally left them large (~1.5MB each) so you could see the details. Great stuff. They will take a minute or two to download so be patient. They should be finished uploading in a few minutes. For those of you that don't remember, were too young, or just know nothing about it, read this: http://en.wikipedia...._of_the_Century EDIT: All files are now smaller jpg's March 1 March 2 March 3 March 4 March 5 March 6 March 7 March 8 March 9 March 10 March 11 March 12 March 13 March 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 It could be because they're still uploading, check back in a few minutes. If it doesn't work then, I screwed up... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkhorn Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Why didn't you make these a jpg or png? Why not use a compressed image format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I was going to go back and do that. The software that's used to view the files only exports in bmp format so that's the way they got saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcworthWx Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks for posting these, Dacula!

downeastnc Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I doubt I see another storm like that in my lifetime. It was that awesome. If it wasnt for the 70-80 mph wind gust we had it would have been a meh event here, the coolest thing was the temps in midafternoon where warm I forget how warm but 60-70's at least and by midnight that night it was snowing but it was light behind the front type stuff nothing stuck that I remember. I am still waiting for a repeat of Mar 1-3 1980, temps in the mid teens with thundersnow...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 The thing I find interesting is that if you look at March 1, there were 3-4 low pressure systems across the upper US but no apparent blocking to be seen, looks like a zonal flow. AND... the two days preceding the storm here in Atlanta had 70 degrees for a high. I wish they had more detail (more hours) in the maps but this is all they had.

tnweathernut Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 My goodness, looking at the 500 maps and watching the evolution leading up to the storm is a thing of beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Best storm ever, got nearly a foot in Marietta with some crazy winds, thunder, and lightning, areas just west of me racked up even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAdawg Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Best storm ever, got nearly a foot in Marietta with some crazy winds, thunder, and lightning, areas just west of me racked up even more. I remember this storm well. It was a snow hurricane. Crazy winds. Thought my house was going to fall in between the weight of the snow and those winds. I was also expecting my first child in a matter of weeks. Guess that is the real reason I remember it well. It is a wonder I did not go into labor during the storm. Have never seen anything like that one since. Just amazing........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Upwards of 25 inches around east TN and northeast TN (don't know how much the airport, KTRI measured) and 8 to 10 foot drifts. Too bad I left that Friday (was in college at ETSU), and wanted to experience the snow from Nashville (which at the time was progged to get several inches with a lot of wind) with friends. Waited and waited and waited, and finally the back edge expanded enough to give our little town northeast of Nashville around 3-4 inches, with 1-2 foot drifts. Truly a remarkable storm, even though I left what would have been the crosshairs. If only Americanwx was there for me back then. haha Who knew the northwest trend WOULDN'T kick in and really hammer Nashville?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
