Hoth

I agree with this sentiment. If this event had been sandwiched in the middle of Feb '15 I could see it slipping into obscurity, but given the utter lack of interesting events this winter, this will be an event I'll remember from this year.

Wait till Lunenberg reports.

God, what a relief this is.

Man, it's gorgeous out there. Full sun, blue skies, cotton balls in the trees, deep deep blanket. Days of yore.

That's funny. I was indeed speaking colloquially, but clearly I must have had some shadow of you bounding around in my subconscious to choose that particular turn of phrase.

Wow, that's some turnaround in your hood!

While this storm looked nothing like Jan 27, 2011 at H5, in terms of sensible impact it reminds me a lot of it. Wet clingy snow, blinding death band across southern CT into RI and MA mainly in the wee hours of the night, models continually beefing up, over performing expectations etc. This was an awesome little critter. I haven't measured yet, but looks like we're solidly in double digits. Improbable as it would've seemed a week ago, this brings my season up to average in the snow department, with 90% of snow occurring in November or March. I will say that I can no longer flunk the season entirely--indeed after last night I may not even require it to complete a remedial summer course. No, in thanks for last night's generous thumping, I'm content to mark it down as a gentleman's C. Maybe we can cash in once or twice more in the coming 10 days before we start to transition towards spring.

You got the right brew for the job too.

Heavy snow on the doorstep now. Eyeballing 3"+. Let her rip.

I was wondering about the sleet. Hoping it'll stay southeast of me for once this winter, but we'll see. It's damn slick out there at any rate. Had a car hit a pole on my street a little while ago. Thankfully everyone ok.

Look at that radar in NJ. We're going green.

Was noticing the clingy nature of the snow. Do you think we have to concern ourselves with power issues later?

Yeah there was a huge sleet bomb on Valentine's '07 that crushed northern NE with snow.

Are you thinking of the Valentine's Day storm?

Man, look at that explosion of convection down in Delaware/Maryland. Come to Butthead.

I feel like I have cataracts looking at that map.

Yeah it's thumping now. I wonder if this will be a little like that paster we had last March that caused all the power issues...

After three months of blue balling we finally get a release.

Put on your microspikes and get a nice 10 miler in 3"/hr rates.

lol, thanks dude. Good luck up there.

Most of it melted today. Still have coverage in the northern shaded areas.

Light snow. Grass coated, roads wet.

That's a lotta muthafukkas.

This thing looks pretty sweet on satellite. Looking forward to tonight.

Maybe Feb 2010? There were also two storms last March that were supposed to give me 15+", but I got 2" and a dusting respectively. Sucked.
