clueless Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So it looks like this is winding down. For most, a very stiff drink is on order for this evening. Looking forward to Spring and G&T's on he patio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Final call here in Boyce. 10.5 " ... all reports there is more at my WV place which would get me over 30" on the season. Not a bad winter west of the Blue Ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I can tell many of you weren't living here (or were too young) during March 2001. I don't remember that non-storm, to be honest. I didn't track stuff back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I can tell many of you weren't living here (or were too young) during March 2001. I was. Sort of think this is almost as bad. In this day and age, storms are hyped (named), blogged about, gossiped about, all over Internet for days, more than they were back then. So when it doesn't happen, think average people will remember more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacindc Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hopefully the real lasting legacy of this storm in DC will be to end the naming of them, especially when it's tied more to attempts for social media traffic a couple of days ahead of the supposed storm itself.

Rib Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Only a few of us today were on WWBB for March 2001 but I saw your WSW's and March 2001 was 10x as bad. Models were spitting out 2-3 feet of snow with a stalled low sub 970 off the Jersey Shore. I still have my flashlight that I got for the storm that ended up being an inch of sleet. Comparing this bust to March 2001 is like comparing the Nats AA team to their MLB team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNash Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 March 2001 was 10x as bad I think. I was in Brooklyn then. Two to three feet forecasted up through the start of the actual event. 2.5 inches IMBY. But the fact that the winter had been a decent one up to then made it a lot less painful. Had that bust happened after a two year drought like this, it would have been far, far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 From what I remember of 2001 bust, you sort of could tell the day before it wasn't going to happen, if you were paying attention, which was harder back then with limited Internet. I recall forecasts of 2 feet of snow on Friday pm news, but those amounts were cut back on the Saturday before the storm was set to begin (fizzle) that night. Could be wrong, but don't recall totally being blindsided like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 How could people forget March 2001? Missed the connection, low didn't bomb until it hit New England. We were forecast to get 12-18 inches and some got 2 inches. I also remember it snowing and because the rates sucked and it was during the day, it all melted on contact. Lost of METS took heat over that. Kocin did (back in his weather channel glory days) This storm is similar but not as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been pathetic enough for it to fade out quietly, but this final ride is a much more devious kind of torture and fitting last act.
