Not sure this will mean anything to people here but I recently found out that one of the people that helped us "guide" the Jan 25, 2000 snow storm home, providing excellent analysis in model failures at that time , passed away 7 years ago. The storm was actually called the Scott Simard storm at that point (in the weather community). Scott was a fiery but brilliant weather tactician. He may have posted here (NE side) for a while under a pseudonym. Since this storm is being talked about so much, though it worth giving him a shout out.
