Haha. I know. I’ve got this disease of ours bad. 26 years ago today the entire EC was slammed with a blizzard of biblical proportions. I doubt any of us will ever see a storm of that magnitude again in our lifetimes.
I remember nearly falling down the stairs, in excitement, when the weather channel screen went all red and declared a blizzard warning for all of NYS. Up until the day before, the storm was expected to just clip the WNY region. 24 hrs out the models adjusted west and showed the LP tracking to near Poughkeepsie, a perfect track for our area. Syracuse got over 40” and Pittsford (where I lived) had 26” on the ground by the finish. A boarded measure would of surely placed me at or above 30”.
6 years later, Rochester had a double storm that buried us with 42”in 3 days. But it still didn’t come close to the intensity and size of ‘The Storm of the Century’.
Good times! I’ll have to post my pics someday.
My folks have pics of the 78 storm. Folks in Rochester almost always confuse that with Buffalo’s storm of 77.
