Fozz Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yesterday's cold was excessive, but I'd much rather have days like today than 60s or 70s during our peak winter climo, even if it isn't snowing. It's definitely much better for the ski areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed very similar in so many ways, from the way it progressed to the areas that it hit, not to mention how the snowfall maps looked. I was a little kid in 1996, so I can't say much about that except a few vague memories, but getting a virtual repeat 20 years later was a real treat.

I never got into any of the CCB action. yea that dry slot was unexpected and pretty annoying. i was right on the edge of the cutoff, so i stayed in the light snow and dendrites for most of it, but i could see where dc would be a frustrating spot. the UL action made up for it here, though.

Yeah a lot of these HECS seem to have better totals for the I-81 crowd than I-95, and the dryslot or the location of the CCB seems to be the reason. And yeah Jan 2016 had a slow start, but so did the Feb 2013 HECS when I went up to Massachusetts. Snow started late morning, but didn't really get heavy until after sunset.

I was on the edge in snowtv for about 4-6 hours in the morning while just west of here kept getting pounded. but thankfully the CCB came through in the afternoon with legit blizzard conditions. If not for the CCB, it would have been a 16" storm here. Nothing to sneeze at but wouldn't be an historic storm by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess the CCB had all the wind, because I don't recall anything close to blizzard conditions here, even when is was snowing heavily at the height, before it lightened up as the dry air punched in.

Yeah, until the CCB in the afternoon, I don't recall much of any wind. I didn't realize you only got 15" from that...you're doing a bad job reminding us everyday like some here seem to do.

I am in a mellow mood and that is where I would like to stay. Funny thing is, it doesn't look that dire to me with a serviceable pattern coming up despite the PAC and signs that the PAC break down will be short lived. But hey, what do I know. That’s what I don’t get. Just cause it doesn’t show a parade of KU’s it’s no dumpster fire either. #bootleggin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my best for all time. We got it front middle and back which almost never happens here. When I saw the deforms firming right over me I just got giddy. 7” of giddy on top of 24” of normal snow. Likely never repeats but but I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
