GATECH Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 That is a winter storm radar that dreams are made of. Usually these things are pretty progressive, but this bad boy slammed on the breaks and and said wtf, lets stop in DC for a while, see the sites, maybe grab lunch. Then as its about the leave it says, ah, lets see some more sites, not sure when I will be back in DC, lets make sure we plaster everyone one last time before we gotta go. He called up a buddy and said, Hey, I was just in DC, great town you should visit sometime....Buddy says sure I think I can make it around Feb 9-10....

I always wondered if storms had real personalities and feelings, and could talk? If so the December 26, 1969 storm was one cruel prankster.

Dalfy Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Walking home a few days after the second blizzard in february and when they cleared the path on the sidewalk the snow was nearly up to my chest on either side... It was an unbelievable experience. Also taking a walk during the storm with the snow coming down so fast I couldnt even see my house from nearly 50-100 feet away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catoctin wx Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 i believe this was from february 4. snow on its way from galapagos... I was just thinking about this image, but I didn't have it saved to post. I think some of the most amazing things that we saw last winter were the satellite images (especially WV) showing the moisture reaching all the way back to the central pacific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SN Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It would be a toss up between the first storm in feburary and the second. The first for the amount of snow and the second for the whiteout conditions all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just the entire winter. Period. never in my life thought i would see six and a half FEET of snow in one season. 6.5 inches of snow yes. 6.5 feet never. Best winter of my 42 years. By far.

Yeoman Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I have a feeling this year the storms are gonna say..."DC...Been there done that....we'll be back in 7 years."

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Wow. Hard to define a "favorite" moment, there were just so many! Especially the entire period from Jan. 30 through Feb. 10. But offhand what comes to mind is the excitement before the Dec 18-19 storm after so long since we last got a big one here...the anticipation the morning and early afternoon on Friday, Feb. 5, just before and right as that snow began...waking up surprised on Feb. 10 to a blast of wind and whiteout/blizzard conditions after turning in the night before seriously thinking it could be a major bust. Well, I'd also have to add the sheer awe of seeing every single model dumping 2"-plus of liquid equivalent on us for the Feb. 5-6 event...it was almost scary. I also remember appropriately drinking Becks beer the night of that Feb. 5-6 storm, watching the posts on Eastern (yes, I purposely got Becks, in honor of what seemed like a "BECS"! ). Here's a few pics, from the 3 big events: From the Dec. 18-19 2009 storm: From Feb. 5-6: From Feb. 9-10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Wes, I would think this would be a favorite of yours as well Well it certainly fit the OLR profile for storms and a negative nao. This year will me a challenge since we have a negative nao and the convection is farther west suggesting that the tropics are only part of the story.

aldie 22 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 These are from 2/5 last year. I love the progression of the snow build up. First one is at 8:45am then 1:22pm then 3:38pm then 11:18pm with still plenty to go after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 my biggest memory was the stress free modeling of the Feb 5 storm. Once the models showed it, they were relentless in continuing to show it.

aldie 22 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 my biggest memory was the stress free modeling of the Feb 5 storm. Once the models showed it, they were relentless in continuing to show it. The only time the model changed was to show more qpf I went back and read a lot of the obs threads before eastern shut down. It was funny even though the models did what you say there were still some funky posts going on as people would panic a bit about a wobble here or there even though the final result was always gobs and gobs of snow. Oh no it's a hair South or oh no it's less amplified or oh no it's trending too far North. We are such a paranoid bunch it's pretty funny....and sad. This year should be back to normal....any modeled storm in the long range is just fantasy then as the models show cold and dry for as far as the eye can see it will snow a foot by accident.
