+1 for the Meta mid-‘90s reference .

I do that with January and February 1994 to make me feel like I’m in sixth grade again. .

That’s assuming all other data points were identical, which we would have no way of knowing. .

This has the post-Super Bowl 2014, December 5, 2002, February 7, 2003, feel to it. A nice, normal snowstorm. .

I was just thinking that (MMU scored well on there) or the December 5, 2002 event. .

He’s got a 50/50 chance, and I’ve become more convinced in my elder age that seasonal forecasting is that. .

STOP THE COUNT .

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. .

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. .

That’s a 10°+ temperature swing. How do you figure? .

Agreed! I like those moderate all-snow storms that are in the 6-12 range… pretties things up, it’s cold so it’s powder, easy to clean, no ice, but doesn’t break your back clearing it off. .

.

I think it’s just exhaustion from COVID, missing out on today’s snow, and getting back into normal work/school/family life on the first day after a long break. .

You obviously know a lot more than I do, but the long ranges fluctuate so much, who the hell knows in the end. .

Like a Virga… dry air filtering in for the umpteenth time .

Good for them. Let them enjoy it. We’ll get ours, whether it’s this year or next. We’ve been very spoiled. Kind of reminds me of having your plate overflowing and you’re annoyed someone else is going up to the buffet. (Pre-Covid, of course) .

c’est la vie say the old folks .

Right? Of course I like a good storm, but I can’t have one all of the time. Let someone else enjoy it. I’m sure there are people down the shore that have missed out recently. I’ve had a ton of really good ones for years. The last big miss was February 2010? So what. That’s 12 years now. Not a bad track record. .
