Feb 18-19 long duration manageable snow and ice event

It may have been Feb, it was a long time ago...my first year teaching, and school was canceled. Never saw a flake. -

Bet they didn't need it for another two years; after that, bet they were glad they bought it ( if it still ran; most of them don't when you go to start them up; it's a good idea to take it in for servicing in the fall ). -
At least in the New Brunswick area, this is generally true; a decent event in Dec usually means more is on the way, but it was unusual for Jan to be so bereft of snow...

Jan 1989 was also a big bust, because there was no precip at all in most of the area....I guess forecasting has made some strides. -

I remember a dude arguing with the staff at Home Depot because they were out of salt; I said, friend, don't worry about it. You won't need it. He was like what? I said the storm has been canceled. No one there believed me.... -

Maybe out your way; here, we had two days of school cancelations waiting on 2 feet; we got less than an inch of sleet. It was embarrassing. In Jan 2015 we at least had 6-7 inches out here. -

We have been burned worse by Miller B's though; pretty sure the infamous March 2001, now almost 20 years ago, phased too late for us.... -

These storms on models always waffle a bit; it looks like there will be a significant event on tap, perhaps the last one for awhile, but it won't be epic. Will still be a slog for lots of people. -

So a significant storm with modest accumulations made somewhat more hazardous by potential sleet and rain. I'm thinking more like 3-6 based on other storms of this ilk I've witnessed. Sleet could keep it from being higher. But it will still need to be respected. I'd sleep in if possible. -

The only decent snow that season...when I see snow in Oct or Nov now, I don't expect much after....there's some theory for this but it's beyond my understanding.But I do remember a storm in 2014 that laid down a nice thump then flipped to rain for hours, and back to some snow and sleet to cap it off....was the last big one that year.... -

Surprised to see you less than bullish...I was starting to think this might be significant and add to our total this season.... -

And the winter of 89 wasn't much better, with a blown call of a big snowstorm in Jan where not one flake fell in the metro region.....

Way it goes. Looks like a lot of garbage on tap. Hopefully we find a way to squeeze out another one.
-
we had a nice, albeit brief run Ant, if it isn't gonna snow the rain would be preferable. Frankly, I'm ready for some sun after all these days of gray. I kinda doubt we don't see at least another snow event, but its very possible. Mother nature once again did not do as expected. Thought we were gonna get some real cold, but alas, not to be. Not a big fan of overly frigid temps anyway. And hey, thanks for posting these runs year after year. You are gonna get some strange looks from your future wife.

I sure hope so. Who needs ice? It would really be a relief...

No one really wants freezing rain. It's such a mess, and we have what looks like days of it coming. I hope to God its sleet at least.
