psuhoffman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Going on record as saying that one or two snow events can't save a winter. I don't care how big they are. No snow events by Jan 31 = sucky winter, no rescue.But what if those two storms are each 20" back to back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 But what if those two storms are each 20" back to back? To each his own. What I enjoy are long stretches of cold with snow on the ground and occasional falling snow or ice, predominantly cloudy and grey. Were we to get a little snow in the next week, I could still see a "good" winter. A three week stretch won't do it for me. So, at this point my chances for a good winter are declining fast.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Is that your projected jump date? If I remember, there was talk of a limited number of events this season. Who knew they'd all come in February? Yep, and I cringed every time I read them. I'm not going to jump though. I'm indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 my son is why I think I would take a 2-4" storm over a total shutout. It's the first year he can actually go out in it. At this point I would just take one 6" storm I can take him out and sled or build a snowman together and I would be happy. And I can see that perfectly.

EastCoast NPZ Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This winter was toast when shorts were worn on T-day weekend and Christmas (and through most of Dec.). I suspected then it was going to be terrible. Thanksgiving rule almost never fails. And the stench of spending much of our best stretch of sun-angle with +20F temps was never going to be erased for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezweather Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Doing some weather research and having this video play in the background.. Its a documentary on Blizzard of 1993.. Check out in the beginning of the video, look who's in it. What a group of forecasters !!! Go to 6:51 and a few seconds there, you'll see Paul Kocin, Wes Junkin, and Dr. Louis Uccellini.

CAPE Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 O's sign Davis and the 6z GFS excites us. Quite a morning. Yeah good to see him back. Not sure where else he had to go though. Big money despite a weak market. Boras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Have to agree. Absolutely the most incredible storm by a good margin imo. In a class by itself. A true blizzard in every sense. We won't see another in our lifetimes for sure . Depends on location. I can make a list of at least 10 storms I would take over that one for my area. I do appreciate the event from a historical perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Was just on a Skype call with my friend in Manchester UK. Snowing heavily there, lol. Still have not seen a flake imby yet. Did see a mini flizzard driving through Carroll county on my way to Gettysburg Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate the event from a historical perspective. When I read things like 13" of snow in Birmingham with a low of 2, 4" of snow in the Florida panhandle, 1" recorded in Tampa, Boone NC with 3' of snow and 24 hours with temps below 0......in the middle of March!! ....I still can't believe it. I experienced that storm from right in the spine of the Apps and it was the most remarkable weather event of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I experienced that storm from right in the spine of the Apps and it was the most remarkable weather event of my life. It was an amazing storm for the interior, esp the mountains. But it was a coast hugger. I loved the first third of the storm- warm advection snow when the low was still way to the south. I picked up 8" of heavy wet snow. As the low came up, there was too much warm air drawn in from the Atlantic, so ended up with 40 degree heavy rain. Then dry slot. Then the cold air came back in and my waterlogged slop turned into a 3" solid glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
