March 01 was a nice late hail mary for my area. Of course Jan 2000 was a good one for the northeast. Boxing Day 2011 was a nice surprise when the euro finally caved to the other models. But yeah, it's tough to be expecting near zilch and then get warning amounts from a synoptic event today. There basically needs to be a mesoscale bust...something like BTV had years ago with 30"+.
