  1. John, I grew up in NNJ during some epic times featuring March of 1956, February and March of 1958, March of 1960 and of course the trifecta of 1960-61. However, leaving for LA in November of 1976 returning in July 1991 cost me 78-a bitter pill I will take to my grave. You’re in a great spot now with enough elevation to add plenty to the sea level climo. Where did you grow up?
  2. I don’t anyone has a choice but 2012-13 high snow but mild winter is ideal for me. 2/8/13 began with marginal temperatures but who wouldn’t take 2-3 feet again? Same for 3/8/13 but snow more like 18-24
  3. Ahh-I thought you meant what has fallen vs climo normal for the season.
  4. We’re probably close age. I remember as a hungry snow weenie around age 11 waiting for the forecast which included 2 additional days and when you listened and heard “the outlook for Saturday and Sunday is sunny and cold Saturday. Increasing cloudiness and continued cold Sunday indicating a chance. That was good enough back then. But then again the internet opened us up to a world that revealed so many just like us. Before the net we had this “weird obsession with weather”
  5. I do remember during severe obsession days checking off first the dgex aka defect, then the srefs a few hours later, then NAM etc. back in the early 2000s euro only ran a 12z suite, few had access to anything other than course maps in 24 hour intervals. You weenies have no idea how hard it will be for you to get sober!
  6. Well if you just look at Boston and metro west, 1993-94 was a major all timer. Certainly in my top 3 experienced as is 2014-15 and probably 1960-61. 1995-96 goes to #4 due to the spectacular melts-lasting for weeks.
  7. This. Also I want to add that rural living people have worse health outcomes primarily due to the lack of access to care. It is much more common for doctors to stay in the city or suburbs. So while rural living may be healthier in many ways, people have less access to healthy food, poorer internet connectivity, poor access to doctors. This country needs to prioritize equalizing broadband for everyone-it is a necessity. We also should be giving incentives for medical providers to care for rural based patients. Honestly whenever I think of moving seriously rural I run into the conundrum of how to care for my wife and I as we get older and older. So we stay put.
  8. I turned 64 ahead of a great winter stretch. Time flies. I thought having more free time in semi retirement would slow it down but it feels like it’s speeding up!
