ORH_wxman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Going through and organizing folders tonight and found a whole bunch reanalysis maps with blacked out dates on them...from an oldie but goodie game we played back in the day: Name that storm. Sometimes the threads would last days. But it can be fun in the doldrums of interesting weather. For those who don't remember or never played...An image is posted of the storm and it could be at the height of it or a bit before it hits. But another image is not posted until someone correctly guesses the storm. You have to be pretty savvy with your upper level memory to get a lot of these. I'll start with a pretty easy one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I would go with January 6-8th 1996 Blizzard, that wasn't the Superstorm of 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it not a bad guess considering that frigid PV showing up in the northern plains which was common in '94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
