If I get a 25mph gust while it's snowing I'm impressed. A few weenie heads would explode here if they ever experienced true blizzard conditions like they're having right now.

Epic although last year in our Blizz sustained in the 40s with gust to 50 plus was pretty sweet with 6 per hour. I was on top of SR in 2001 with 55 mph winds total white out trying to ski back to base, not fun, but to have it for hours and hours would be great.

The last winter storm I worked was their #1 (tied) snowfall for the Quad Cities, with true blizzard conditions. The drifts were unreal, you'll probably remember the picture from Chicago of cars stranded a la 128 in 1978 along Lake Michigan. Then I move to Portland and get to work their #1 all time snowfall. Pretty cool to say I've done it in two CWAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weenies need to spend more time above 3,000ft in the northeast during snowstorms, lol. That's like getting the conditions we have at 4kft during snowstorms when it's 50G75 and snowing 2 per hour...but getting it in populated areas.

The jackpot fetish some have and the need for the highest number on the ruler makes it so some folks don't want any wind...god forbid it lowers snowfall totals even if increasing impact.

Dec 02looking back at obs Apr Fools was a little less windy than I remembered I suppose. I was near MHT at the time though and had a lot of open exposure to the NW-N so I had decent BL/DR.
