I'd take our chances with 93/94 cold also. :shiver:

haha... i'll pass. interestingly the signal from a 80+ day in Nov is a near normal temp month but not many ninos in there. 

 

82/83 has shown up a bunch in various things lately. maybe...

'93-'94 was absolutely awesome...while I was in college in central PA.  Seemingly snowed constantly and had very little ice.

 

Nice and toasty today.  Beautiful day to work from home and be able to take the occasional break outside on the deck.  Wish I could have a beer while I'm at it.  Well...I guess I *could*, but...

That was my senior year in high school, also in central PA.  Great winter.

 

Yup.  It was awesome.

 

Freshman year in college for me.  One of the guys on my hall was a snow lover, and we would dial up the internet and get text (DOS?) forecasts from somewhere...can't remember now.  It was basically a constant chance of snowfall every few days for weeks on end.

 

I wish we lived in a place where we could reminisce about more than just a handful of good years and storms.  It'd be nice to be able to say that a given year sucked, even if we got an 8-12" storm and a few other randoms for nearing a 30" total. Sometimes, that makes me :(.

I assume you're talking Penn State.  Not much can beat that storm in November, 1995, that put 18" on the ground.

94' was epic with cold and ice here. It's my benchmark for cold . Reached -14 twice and several days with highs in single digits .I remember one day with a 2 degree high. Ice never melted for weeks and weeks. Had to use hammers and chisels around car tires a couple times to break them loose from thick ice encasement. One storm dumped 6 inches of sleet..crazy stuff.

 

I'd like to experience something like that at least once in my lifetime.

The trees would probably hate it though.

1/19/94 the only day in my lifetime that the temp never rose above zero.  High was -1, low -12.  93-94  was my first winter in Westminster.   I was so glad when that winter was over.   A couple of times I questioned whether I should have moved out of Baltimore I was stressed out by early February with all of the ice never melting.

That was a great cold spell. I remember it like yesterday. That was the first time I experienced temps below -5 here in AA county. One morning it was -7. Remember the few inches of super dry dust snow? It fell a few days after the sleet storm (that was supposed to be snow). That was the driest snow I've ever seen.

65 degrees with loud crickets. Had a little shower earlier this evening while I was in Greenbelt. Really isolated stuff.

Close...about an hour or so to the east at Bucknell. The only problem with Lewisburg, PA is that it's in a valley, so the hills to the west always had a lot more snow than us. But that year was massive (and '95-'96 was insane, too).
