CAPE Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Doesn't seem this one will be as cold as that one was. At the time, I don't think I fully appreciated the epic-ness of last winter. Prob because most of the snow events were "modest". But man looking back, I would kill for that pattern now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man looking back, I would kill for that pattern now. That feb storm last year was pretty legit. If it didn't change to rain during the day I think that could have been close to if not a HECS. It was coming down for most of the night before the changeover in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 St Patrick's day was a better storm even though I got a little less. The ending totally ruined the feb storm. The heavy snow at 3am was great in the Feb storm. And I'm one that totally discounts Feb 2006 for the following day warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The Feb storm was great where I was and the best part was seeing a flash of lightning while I was outside, followed by loud thunder... but I wish there hadn't been so much melting the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Terrible storm. 2 feet of snow didn't seem too terrible to me even if it got a little sloppy by afternoon. The evening blizzard-like squall was cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheesyPoofs Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hate to take this thread even further off topic , but I think the February storm is severely underrated. The rates overnight were very impressive, and the changeover aspect tends to get overplayed in my opinion. Yes, we changed over, and yes, there was some melting during the day, but it's not like we jumped to 50 degrees with heavy rain. It was more drizzle/light stuff for most of the day with temps in the mid 30's before the flip back to snow later that night. A great storm overall in my opinion, though I know some places didn't do as well as others with "round 2" later on that night. It wasn't a Feb 2006 scenario or anything. Never have I seen so much snow disappear so quickly, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 not where i was. had close to a foot. it was dumping overnight before the changeover. I had a foot too, but I don't like when snow melts for 24hrs+ (it didn't get below freezing that night). And the back-end snow was pathetic here. But, snow is snow, and I'd gladly take that storm again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have I seen so much snow disappear so quickly, heh. I have a vivid memory of those rates. The snow started about 10 at night. I was all prepared to do a midnight plowing but at 11:30 there was only about 1/2" of snow so I went on to bed. I set an alarm for 2:30, but there was still only about 2". I woke at about 6 to find 13" of snow. Plowing that with a mower plow was very difficult. If I could have plowed about every 5 or 6 inches it wouldn't have been a problem.

snowfan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Are we talking about the Feb storm last year? If so, great storm. And the dynamics in the evening batch were awesome. It was fun watching the changeover work it's way through the area via correlation coefficient on radarscope. There was some thunder as we went to window rattling sleet and then big fatties falling from the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the back-end snow was pathetic here. But, snow is snow, and I'd gladly take that storm again I wasn't too happy with the changeover either but I felt like we got the brunt of the precip as snow unlike many of our events. It was the flagship storm of the season imo. March had some all snow events but nothing like that midnight to 6am period during the feb storm.

Bob Chill Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Rain or non accum snow is a big concern of mine. There's too much support for rain to ignore it. The wettest cluster on the EPS was mostly rain solutions. Nam and gfs aren't painting pretty temp pictures either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
