I guess it was just the newness but Topps felt old despite those crazy skinny 81 Donruss. But you are right....83 Fleer Clemens, 84 Donruss Griffey....legend cards of that time frame.
Edit not Griffey...Mattingly. Griffey in 89
If I remember correctly, which I may not be, the Nam had the handle on this one in showing a more Northern extent to the extreme snow. But for some of those PA areas this was on the level of the Jan 2000 surprise.
There was indeed a fairly strong pushback from people on the forecasts...forecasts which ended up being underdone for most. I was told by one client that it never snows 30" in Virginia.
Its sunny and hot over here now. 78 humid degrees. NWS ignored short term forecasting last night. Looking at the radar and all short term models it was going to rain for many in the LSV.
Same here though I would call it more of a heavy drizzle. Last night it rained fairly hard for a short time with no radar confirmation. Sat shows clouds and fog back into Ohio and way to our south so does not look like it will clear out too fast. HRRR has VERY scattered showers in the LSV into this afternoon.
