ForestHillWx Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Jan '96 was the storm that reeled me in. I remember Al Roker increasing totals each tv appearance. He had an exasperated look on, almost like he didn't believe it. I was 12, and recall my dad saying "it's not going to be so bad you'll have school". Ended up with 30" of glory, with incredible snow drifts. We didn't have school for three days while my dad plowed for 24 hours straight. The birth of a weather weenie for sure.

We seriously couldn't open our windows much since we are on the 6th floor and thus still susceptible to those damn mosquitos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Hugo did it for me in 1989, in Charlotte. We had 110mph winds, building was swaying - it was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I think it was the 2005 hurricane season that sparked my interest in weather. I experienced Dennis in Florida, I remember the tornado watches/warnings and seeing debris (chairs, palm fronds, etc.) fly around the hotel parking lot. We didn't see the worst of it, but it was enough to put a little fear in me at that age. I remember watching TWC all night during Katrina's landfall, never did I think it'd end up as bad as it did.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yesterday was the first below normal day in NYC in 15 days. Hopefully we can start a streak in the other direction now and start to make up for the last year and a half of above normal temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Up In the greens of southern Vermont for the weekend. Only about 3" of snow on the ground at 1500'. Debating if I should stay tomorrow night and watch the snow. Have to be at work on Monday at 3pm in the city but need to be back on the island to drop off the gf before hand. Thoughts? Should I wait it out out or head out tomorrow before it starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 We better get a 3-6" snowstorm before this cold pattern breaks down in January (per Isotherm) or that lethal 2007-2008 analog will come into play. Model trends in the past 48 hours have been just horrible for snow lovers: today's "storm" is DOA for NYC; the midweek storm is on life support; and next weekend's storm looks like a cutter at this point in time. What a waste of cold air.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope the torch after 12/20 on the models is wrong. The pattern now depicted on virtually all of the maps is as bad as I've ever seen it at this time of year. Just terrible. I wish I could change my entries on the seasonal snowfall contests to single digits, 10" at best, for NYC. It really looks terrible and I have difficulty seeing how it changes, it's locked in. I'm looking forward to a wet spring. WX/PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will grant that it's probably easier for you and me to swallow the upcoming pattern because of our expected snowstorm tonight, but still... seems heavy-handed to punt winter before Christmas. Last year proved yet again that it only takes one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
