But I am okay with linear distances, which is better than those we know who think they're getting heavy snow and have 6+ inches when it's more like 1-2 inches lol. I saw a lot of that in January during our minor events and I remember we were both laughing at them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get 30+ in this storm. Butler is a pretty good spot to be in most storms. I am in NJ a lot when I am driving to see my sister in PA.

So I'll probably be happy for like the next 10 years (plus I took like 64 GB of pictures and videos to remember it with the weather channel on in the background.) Wow, you went full weenie. Jk, I took a lot of pictures and notes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually do decent with elevation based storms as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things equalize for January and February but for December and March where you are and also up in the LHV and NEPA is the best place to be. I spent a lot of time in December in NEPA (Albrightsville) and it was a completely different snowy world from here, constant snowcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me good there, ha. I wasn't trying to fool anyone but I actually have two places, the other one is in NE PA that I jointly own with my sister. The place in Malverne was jointly owned by me and my dad until he passed away. Lots of memories so I might move to NE PA full time in the future, not sure.

Especially April snow. Yeah I definitely love my 90s and even 100s in the summer- which is why I could never live way out on the east end. I hate sea breezes My best snowstorm memories are actually the big ones like last January but also April snowstorms like 1982, 1996 and 2003.

One of the latest I've ever seen. The other one was April 19-20, 1983. Got 2" in that before it changed to rain. That might have been a big storm in your area because I heard inland areas got over a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like April storms because you have a collision of two seasons, you can see the snow accumulating on your tulips and daffodils and it makes you realize that one season is passing the keys to the next.

Amounts pushing 30" Yeah the panic is hard to understand- although to be fair back in the 80s during our snow drought and when there was no internet, I listened to 880 and 1010 for my weather when a big weather event was looming and when they predicted 8 inches of snow and we got rain- I was throwing fits (and the radio) around the room and went through like 4 of 5 of them. But I was like 14-16 back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
