This is the time of year when those places and the Rockies can play big time catchup

Rockies will not be catching up. Very warm winter there.

Just in time for Spring

Yep-with that ridge very little precip and the ridge is going nowhere fast.   Awful skiing conditions at Breckenridge this year the worst I have even seen

Barely even negative on that forecast.

Yeah I saw a graphic yesterday that SLC has only had 2.9" but I'm sure they'll still have chances to add to it

Yeah, I agree. It was significantly deeper than the Blizzard of 1888. Had March 1993 taken a benchmark track instead, then we would have had a 40”+ jackpot with 80-100 mph gusts somewhere in the OKX forecast zones and drifts approaching 6-10 feet high in spots.

Great read!  Thanks!

Once in a lifetime event that was.  Especially in terms of the large area affected.  Not to mention max wind speeds, sfc pressure, snow totals and gulf storm surge.  Rouge event not to be repeated anytime soon on that large a scale.  Not to say regional storms across the MA/NE won't pack a punch at times just not to the scale of 93.
