If that low would’ve tracked 75 miles further south we wouldn’t have been stuck in weak sauce echoes and a dry slot which doesn’t get it done on 4/1 and instead got in on the cold moist conveyor belt SNE had. I don’t remember that storm probably because it was a raw nasty white rain fest here but I guess the 8-12” predictions were because the storm likely closed off too late or too far north. 

if the low tracked 75 miles south maybe we would have gotten the bigger snowfall totals?

Yes it was a lesser version of the March 2001 bust lol.

Oh nice, you know how much I love spelling bees (I won trophies in those starting in 3rd grade and my last one was in 8th grade.)

What's a geography bee like? Do you have to spell geography place names or is it like the game Geography where you have to name a place that starts with the same letter the previous place someone said ended with? I love that game too-- I played it a lot in my middle school years (7th and 8th grade.)

 

 

It's global geography facts. Like the name of a river or a mountain range or name of a province or whatever.

They ask some obscure stuff at the state championship.

reminds me of April 1996, though obviously near JFK I did well in that storm.

not a fun time 

 

we had no power for about 7 days

out of state power company had to bring us a new pole because this tree snapped it in half 

 

miserable time. 
 

the tree was hollow and after it fell my property was covered in carpenter ants.

The wind held off in Queens until that line of storms rotated through with the circulation toward the end of the event.

Our strongest winds came with sunshine ironically, but they were really strong, the airports gusted to 70mph.

Yep that was intense. Had numerous trees down in my neighborhood too. As usual with the east side of any tropical system here-a couple showers but very high wind. Luckily it didn’t hit NC as a borderline cat 2/3, in that case power here could’ve been off for weeks.
