MJO812 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 10-11 was a great year down here on the immediate coast as well. But even then it was impossible to keep the occasional coastal front and 40+ degree reading and fog from destroying the snow pack. I remember after the 2/1 ice event we leaped to 45 or so and lost a ton and a couple of times before that, but as near as Hempstead Turnpike (less than 10 miles into Long Island) kept their snow. 10-11 was a very even year in terms of snow that fell, even here we probably made 60 inches. I had 60 inches by the start of February NYC sanitation put the folks in a lot of danger and people died the fire dept,EMT, police were mighty upset with the politics that affected a normally very efficient cleanup program.see ya My area was a disaster right after the storm. A lot of cars were stuck everywhere. They should have shut down the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Here in Philly it just goes down as another snowstorm, but I'll never forget it because it felt like a X-Mas miracle. I remember X-mas Day afternoon the GFS continued to show the snowstorm and no other model agreed. 00z of the 26th I believe was when the EURO jumped on and I remember how giddy I was that night. Glenn Hurricane Schwartz made a podcast about how dramatic the models had switched. It was pretty epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBG Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Four years ago today many of us watched in awe as one of the strongest KU storms ever beared down on the area. Whether it be the incredible winds and blizzard conditions well inland, the insane snowfall rates or the roller coaster ride on the modeling, it is safe to say that this storm will live forever in our hearts. Please feel free to share your memories here... Probably my favorite storm ever. For one it proved that this area could have an intense snowstorm during a moderate-strong La Niña. That happened only in March 1956 to my knowledge. My personal memory was doing a return of a holiday (we don't celebrate Christmas, different religion) gift at Lord & Taylor's in Eastchester. Flakes started sifting down. By the time I got to Harrison on the Hutch it was snowing pretty good. Then the heavens opened. The day before the storm, on Christmas, my then-14 year old son flew to Saint Louis to connect to a Califonria-bound flight. The storm's "parent" gave St. Louis about 5"-6" that day. I was skeptical of putting him on the flight but the timing was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
