I agree with you. Jan 2016 was the single best "main event" since at least 1922. Feb 2010 and Jan 1996 will always be ranked higher tho because the aftermath was so much better.

Definitely. I walked around as the storm was winding down and was amazed by how benign the storm seemed. There were no trees down or power outages, and my street was plowed as soon as the snow stopped, when it didn't see a plow for days after 2/5-6/10. It's also impossible to separate 2/5-6/10 from that entire wintry period and especially snoverkill. The storm never seemed that ferocious either, except for the brief deform action Saturday afternoon it basically seemed to be 1" of fluff per hour for 30 hours. The front-end stuff Friday night seemed kind of underwhelming and didn't really live up to the 3-4" an hour stuff that was advertised, even with the thundersnow. Saturday afternoon saved it. Of course, it was one of the most incredible weather events I have ever witnessed and a storm I will remember for a long, long time, but it just didn't quite pack the punch of '10. gymengineer, what did you measure from the storm? I measured in a bunch of places and averaged around 30", but that might be a tad high. Also, exactly how much did this area get in 2010? I wasn't a weenie back then so didn't think to measure.

Might be another 5 years before we see this again

I haven't saved every pic on this thread! I need them for.... purposes.

Bump

This thread just hurts. I would give up a finger, some toes, and 500$ for a repeat.
