I've always read about PDI on these forums, but can you guys explain to me what made that storm so epic. I think I read that it was also a surprise storm, which obviously makes sense since it took plce in the late 70s

I have an eerily similar story here in Philadelphia, which is why Jan 25 2000 will always have a special place in my heart. The morning of I remember the news saying maybe an inch or so. I was in the infant stages of my weather obsession. That day I stayed home from school I believe. Not sure if it was a weekend or what, either way....My family got tickets to the 76ers Trailblazers game that night. That was in the prime A.I days so a 76ers Blazers game was a hot ticket. The Blazers were also amazing back then....Right before we left for the game I remember Paul Kocin came on the TV and said new data coming in was looking interesting...I could also see the beginning stages of the radar out in the Atlantic making a bee-line for our area. I had that giddy feeling you get before a storm before my family and I left for the game. Pretty sure the 76ers won, on my way home I just had that feeling that something was in the air. When we got inside I rushed to the TV and put the Weather Channel on. I see at the bottom of the screen the epic red bar that said Winter Storm Warning for what I believe was 8-14" of snow. I was in absolute heaven. I laid in bed glued to the weather channel until like 5am when I passed out....I woke up around 7 am to a pure whiteout with 6-8" of snow on the ground. It snowed like that for another hour before we dry slotted. We got some snow on the back end, but finished with like 9-11", nothing "epic", but I'll never forget that storm because of the surprise factor.

So far have like 3-5" can't tell, but haven't really had heavy snow. The snow flakes seem very small. Hoping we can get a convective band tomorrow morning.

GFS big time east shift

00z NAM corrected itself from its ridiculous 18z run as we knew it would....

I'm unpacked and ready to go here in Mainsfield....Right before NEMO the NAM had a crazy run that brought even 12+" to Philly. It tends to do this right before events. It is probably well overdone. I'd imagine it will go NE at 00z.

I switched my reservation to Mansfield MA lets hope the EURO is righr

Urgent , i can switch my reservation mansfield instead would that be better?

How does Southborough MA do lol... Hour away!

Hey guys! Im 2 hoursfrom MA. Headed to a red roof inn at Southborough MA, so stoked, do you like my choice?

Nice, I'm more of a snow guy. Wind is great, but I'm doing my best to get into the max snowfall area. I know it is impossible to know where this pesky deform band is going to setup, I mean the EURO scares me that I'd dryslot, the RGEM makes me feel warm inside. I'm going crazy running out of time lol

What do those stand for?

Hey guys, I have a motel booked in Southborough MA....thoughts? Based on latest data I'm trying my best to pick the best spot. I am starting to lean on NE CT, but I can't decide. Any last second opinions before I leave?!
