Close but not close enough. Ok, Im done dissecting the 6z cause the 12z may be notably different....but it was fun anyways. 12Z mostly held serve. Again the temps at midnight or at or higher than the 1PM temps. Still suggesting more FFW's for south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 A little fun Rank your top 5 snowstorms in our area of all time: #1 is a no brainer for me: Superstorm 1993. #2 Blizzard of 96 #3 February 1983 Blizzard - Only because I was off school for at least a couple of days. :-) #4 2011 Halloween Nor'easter - Just because it was Halloween. #5 2003 - President Day Nor'easter. #1 was the beast!

I'm just happy to see cashtown and mag into the goods, but to your point, the pine creek last weekend was really low. We got a super soaker while visiting Straub brewery in St Mary's only to find tours closed (recording said otherwise), but that didnt do much to help long term.

What a loop that was. isnt she a beaut?? 93' was a doozy, but when S+ turns to pingers....heavy pingers, it ALWAYS makes me feel uneasy down here. We had 4-5 hrs of them in 93' and while I like what they do for snowpack/glacial retention... I still hate to hear them in a big one. I was nervous in 16' but knew that an mix would be minor, and to that end we flipped back quicker than originally expected. It was just a beauty of a storm for me. I'm happy to listen and see what other storms mean most to the gang. Please share stories and pics/loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dont get me wrong...its my #2, as its rather rare to see a triple phaser. Until 16 came, it was at the center of my mantle. 93' now sits just a tad to the right of Center.

They inexplicably moved Cash and I out of the drought designation. Underground water levels are 25-50% under average summer levels and we are both about 8-9" under normal for the May -Aug period but we have been given the all clear.

If memory serves, western york up to lebanon and points NW never tained in 93', (or much less i should say), as is often the case down here in the LSV warm spot.

Yep what I loved about 93 is we did flip to ice/sleet for a period of time and then went back over to snow. The dynamics were just incredible and again what I loved was Atlanta and points south were in on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they cut if off the Tuesday before the Thursday map comes out.

That was from a dynamics perspective, the most impressive....but as we all know about snow hounds....its all about the MBY totals... and when i get long duration events, I smile no matter what the tally is. Just love flakes flying. Oh....and thanks for the mid afternoon derail. I've enjoyed it and am 1 step closer to wishing this dreaded hot ass mess of a summer/year away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 1. 1993 2. 1996 3. 1983 4. 1978 5. 2016 The first 4 I listed all had other elements than snow, mainly strong winds and drifting. 2016 was a big dump of white gold but it was void of much wind.
