Do you remember how spot on he was in 1993-94? The night before all of those two dozen events he said that it would be colder than forecast and we'd get more snow and frozen and he was right every time.

During the hourly newscast he'd come on around 10:15 and say he was waiting for the latest models to come in but he thought that the amounts would be higher than originally forecast. And then he came on at 10:45 and that's exactly what the models showed and he upped his predictions to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part was that all the weather folks from the major networks came on within a 10 minute window so I'd watch them all one by one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North and West Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I started my weenie career on Bill Evans forum. Oh man! I remember Bill himself going on his forum prior to the February 2003 storm to let us know it was going to be a doozy.These forums would have been BONKERS if they had existing in 1994. Still my favorite winter of all time.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and West Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Wasn’t there a winter in the 2010s that was just as good or close to it? Maybe? 2014 was nice for that, and we had some good storms during the decade, but 1994 stuck out for the main reason that it was record cold, countless ice and snow events, and then some big snow in February.This happened after years of nothing… it’s extra special like when your team wins for the first time in years. It also helped that I was 11 and grew up BEGGING for it to snow throughout elementary school and it seemingly never, ever did, and I had to sit and watch the weather channel and marni stanier’s ceiling fan infomercial while waiting on the five day business planner :50 after the hour.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds just like me! I had no internet back then (I dont think it even existed) and I didn't even have cable tv so it was all about the major networks plus 5, 9, 11 and PBS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just curious what folks think of there being any red at all in the map below. 'Major Impacts' expected in parts of NJ?

Shades Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Idk about you guys, but I'd prefer a nickel to dime event that will stay on the untreated surfaces for at least a week, than a double digit snowfall that melts down within a week. Snow with staying-power usurps puddles. I'm so far enjoying Winter 2022 and wouldn't mind this past week to repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Now the wait till the next event, which may be this un-phased snow shower. or perphaps a better looking setup two days later. At any rate a long wait may be at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
