Over the last 25-30 years, there have only been a few complete ratters. The ones that come to mind are 11/12, 01/02, 07/08, and 97/98.
Yeah no thanks. I'll take a huge snowstorm over these dusting events any day even if it were all to melt in 5-7 days.
Nothing more exciting to a weenie than tracking a huge snowstorm, after all those are the storms that we remember.
