psuhoffman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Anyone remember the surprise snow feb 1996. Miller b clipper. Bombed way west of predicted. Nothing in the forecast the night before and woke up to heavy snow in Herndon va. Got 9". Everyone talks about Jan 2000 but I remember that one as a great last minute surprise also. Not similar to this just wondering why it doesn't get more talk as a last minute trend system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I haven't had a drink since early Sept. Tempting tonight but only a blizzard is worthy of caving. If Jan 2000 rolls up the coast tonight then look the F out tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with something cheap, learn the ropes, and upgrade to a more expensive option. I think I like the night before a snowstorm more than the actual storm -- the anticipation, radar tracking, short term models, etc. Such a great night!

I think it's just that 1/00 is the more recent example *and* there's this sense with 1/00 that weenies outdid the pros when we all watched radar from SC and saw that it didn't jibe with the forecast. The other great last minute surprise from 95/96 was the 4" wave behind the front in March (3/7-8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other great last minute surprise from 95/96 was the 4" wave behind the front in March (3/7-8). I was a meteorology major at PSU hazleton at the time. We were way way outside the threat area and got about 8". I remember I had time in the weather station that afternoon and looking at wv loop and thinking it's way more amped then projected. I asked the meteorologist they had on staff that year what the chances were of all the guidance just being wrong from that close and he gave me a dismissive answer. He wasn't even interested. Lol. The rest is history. The 0z ETA and MRFcame in way west. Can't remember the guys name. The years before it was Jon Neese but he left. I had a couple classes with Neese. I remember he still had a thing for the ngm and didn't trust the AVN or ETA much and a storm early November he went rain for us and the ETA had snow and we got 6". My friend loved to argue with him and would annoy him to no end at our daily forecasting meetings. He was a nice guy though. Put up with a lot of crap from snotty know it all upstarts.
