Ginx snewx Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Conventional Miller BS have a dieing primary originating from a southern locale which then transfers energy to a newly formed center. This was a phase of two separate streams.The first low-pressure system, originating from the Northern Plains of the United States, produced moderate amounts of snow across the Great Lakes region of the U.S. and Canada.[14] The second low, originating across the state of Texas, produced heavy rains and flooding across much of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic parts of the U.S. As the two systems merged off the Northeast coast on February 8, 2013, they produced heavy snowfall over a large region from North Jersey and inland from New York City through eastern New England up to coastal Maine and inland to Ontario.

Whatever you want to call it, it had many more characteristics of a Miller B than a Miller A. There's always different flavors of each kind...its not 100% black and white...but there is a reason that most of the precip skipped over the Mid-Atlantic from philly southward...and its because the real dynamics processes didnt start going gangbusters until the primary energy in the great lakes phased in...and then boom...very typical of Miller Bs. This one just had a slightl more developed low as it came up from Carolinas but all that really did was just infuse more moisture for when the phasing occurred.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I will forever hate North Carolina til the day I die. My wife and i moved from CT to NC on Jan 31st lol... Worst timing! I was probably the only sicko weather nerd who stayed up all night for a snowstorm 800miles away. I was in shock, awe, jealous, envious, and downright pissed. Needless to say, when summer was over, we sold the house in NC and moved back. I cant live without the big bombs. You guys were awesome during nemo though, this board was on an acidic high.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Steve, all I can infer from that passage regarding your argument is that you don't feel this is a pure miller B because it was the result.of two different systems phasing, as opposed to a straight transfer? Most of our largest Miller Bs are results of phases that have some sort of southern contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 This was the first time I ever chased a major snowstorm and the first time I've been to New England in the winter. I've always lived in the mid-Atlantic around Baltimore, but this time I couldn't stand seeing such an amazing storm evolve just above me while I would miss out completely. It wasn't just an ordinary Miller B, it was a HECS that was very often being compared to Feb 1978. In other words, it was way too good to miss. Literally the evening before it started, I bought a train ticket to take me almost 400 miles north. I stayed with a very good friend who many of you know, and it was a blast. We got buried with 27", which was one of the biggest storms either of us has ever seen. The rates were amazing Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was outside in the middle of it, but none of my pics came out. Wish I had a video of it though... golfball sized flakes/snowballs were falling from the sky. it was really windy and actually painful getting pelted in my face by chunks of hail, lol.

Sn0waddict Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just insane. Went into Bridgeport the next day, and there were cars left stranded on the post road. Half the town wasn't even plowed.

RI Rob Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Was probably the best span of days for me in years. Photoshoot I did with a car went viral, got to experience the storm in downtown Boston, watched people ski down beacon hill. Just awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'll never forget the days leading up to the event either. Probably got 10 hours of sleep from Tuesday till Saturday. I was out to dinner on that Thursday night, the place was buzzing with talk about the storm. It gets real when your 1-2 days out and forecasts remain for ~24 inches. This will go down as probably a top 3 for me when I'm old and looking back. Something I'll never forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice1972 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ahhhh! Is it winter yet??? No doubt brother......this storm ruled in so many ways.....I sat in my sons room for a solid hour while he slept - it was 1 am I think - looking out his window cuz his room had a good vantage point to the road.....it was pounding snow....totally ridiculous......backlit by the street light.....no plows....no cars anywhere and probably a good foot accumulated on the road since the last plow....a line car - a Honda accord I think came strolling up the road and got stuck a couple houses down....really unbelievable someone was out in it....anyway I was about to go out and help dog him out but the neighbors go there and it took a good hour to get him out.....lots of shoveling....blowing pounding snow all the while....pretty epic really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WILL be bringing my poster comparing the Blizzard of 1978 to the Blizzard of 2013 with me to the AmWx Conference in July in Baltimore. I HOPE to see some of you weenies there!! Plus, if possible, I'll bring along my laptop and show my PowerPoint show about the Feb '13 storm.
