i can still rememembr the NWS snowfall maps, which were still a bit of a novelty at the time, running out of colors for the snowfall ranges. they kept having to add colors to the legend. My roommate angrily demanded I should "Ctrl-Alt-Delete-Snow" because everyone was convinced i was conjuring it up(as they are at my current workplace...I've been banned from posting any more weather updates other that 65 and sunny...lol)

It was definitely something special to experience. I remember people trying to tell me(as i was trying to warn them) that there was no way we would get another storm that big so soon after the 1st one.... I can remember working at the grocery store the morning of the 2nd one, which started as rain down here, and you could ,literally see the changeover line to snow begin at one end of the parking lot and sweep across it towards the building. When it hit the building, the windows literally shook from the force of the wind! We closed immediately, and I was the lucky one to announce to a grocery store full of already storm weary shoppers, trying to pick out what they could from shelves bare and not restocked from the first storm(our warehouse was in PA and buried from storm 1...we had almost nothing on the shelves to begin with) that we were "closing....right now". It almost started a riot, lol. We didn't do anything for a week after storm 2. Truly once in a lifetime, although i hope the kids get to see something remotely like it.

Came here to say this. Stepped out of the main thread for the most part for this last one but it looks like it really found a way to fuck a lot of you over, and that's a damn shame. I lost power for this one for a while and probably can't go anywhere for a while, which actually sucks from a real life perspective. I wouldn't be hurt if the next one really nails y'all, you have earned it.

Never officially measured, but the 16-18" reported around me seems about right. Easily pushes this beast into top 5 territory for me. Power came back around 1pm, that was a 9 hour outage, rare for this area to be sure. Thankful it's back on. What a winter, even if it's only been two real storms. The tracking and real world impacts were just amazing. -
Ugh. I look at that storm the way most look at boxing day, or even something like today's storm. Goes to show how different impacts can be around here. Well considering it's a souless POS that is actively destroying our planet and contributing to the collective dumbing down of our society, it can be mad with me idgaf lol...but maybe I digress

@bncho you mad I got 18" today?
-
4-6"? You ass

I mean it worked for me, but I also lost power and it's 52 in my house, sooo

Absolutely historic storm for mby. 16-20" no way to accurately measure. Lost a pine tree in the backyard. Power has been out since 3am, currently 52 in my house. -

Sorry you're missing out on the big totals. I guess the east bump in some of the . modeling was real, or the precip shield just didn't extend back enough -

This is without a doubt the worst storm I have experienced since 2010. Whiteout conditions currently. Couldn't even take video or pictures. Impossible to measure what's accumulated, but easily over 8-10" so far. Winds continue to howl. Can hear cracking trees in the distance. Snow accumulating on vertical surfaces. -

46,000 without power in DE, the majority in Sussex County. It's holding here for now, but frequent flickering and dimming. -

Nerve wracking storm. Wind roaring, house being pelted with tree branches and twigs. Power constantly flickering. Worse than the last serval tropical storms
