Yeah that was a very intense scene. I read that when Anthony Hopkins delivered that line and then made the "ts-ts-ts-ts" sound with his tongue (sort of on the spot, not planned), that Jodi Foster gave a sort of frightened/stunned start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don't think many on this board remember/grasp that the second Feb 2010 storm that was such a massive hit for much of the area left southwest of dc out of the main show. I know @mattie gdoes, because he has tried to remind people. They maximized WAA in that one but then it never really turned back on there because it re-developed a bit too late. Up this way, we did slightly less good on WAA, then it turned off, I remember the freakout on Eastern in the 4 AM - 7 AM area and then all hell broke loose. But that storm encapsulated how in MIller B storms there can be huge variances and winners and losers in terms of snow total in the area. This isn't the first Feb 2010 storm in set-up where there will be uniform massive totals as it Heather A rains fatties. So, I get the tension. I have set my hopes for a good five plus inches in the WAA to get to warning criteria. My worry is that the WAA underperforms up here and we miss the re-development. I would kill for half a foot in the WAA and then see how it goes. I have double checked, and I can't control any of that though. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ULL pass on that one for Leesburg was glorious though...it was the heaviest fattest flakes I've ever seen. We got around 12" during the second Feb storm after getting 33" from the first one...places NE of here like Luckets and Point of Rocks were blasted by both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I guess this would qualify as banter.. Who else was alive and remembers the Challenger explosion 35 years ago today? I was 15, living in Springfield VA. Aside from the trajedy that day, another indelible memory for me was a Nor'easter that was to never be that weekend for us in the mid Atlantic. Cold and dry, with any development well off the coast. Not sure which model was pummeling our area with heavy snow... NBM perhaps? Imagine if thiis forum was around 30-40 years ago with the state of NWP back then? Lots of broken hearts for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I remember the Challenger explosion and just being transfixed by the news. I wasn't paying much attention to the weather out this way, as at the time I was in college at Purdue when this happened. My freshman year.

Same age. I remember that day specifically. We were on winter break. Living on Long Island. Very cold day. We had a keg party at my friend Kenny's house. It was planned before the space shuttle disaster. It wasn't in celebration of. Weird day. Anyway Kenny's father came home from work early and was ticked off. He kicked the keg and broke his leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did get one really nice band that rotated through at like 8:00 am or something, but otherwise the coastal/ULL piece wasn’t much to write home about. It’s not bad, especially after having gotten 28” (I think) a few days before, but I was definitely a little jealous of the folks in MD who got reamed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My met professor at Mason swore there was a coverup and that the meteorologists had told them not to launch because of how cold it was but NASA officials went ahead and launched anyway. He would state conspiracy theories (I haven't really looked into them or if they are even true or false) about the launch. I do remember him claiming that he had a friend who worked down there and was involved in the launch disco on that day was told to sign something saying he couldn't discuss what really happened because NASA didn't want that info to leak out. Now before we get carried away, he was actually a good professor, he taught the class well and I learned a lot in his class. Just that subject drew his ire and the such.
