This is why those of us who grew up in the 80s as a snow weenie can’t understand the meh mentality for your age group when ya’ll are so spoiled…you don’t even know how good you have it. But to be fair we are products of our experiences so I can’t fault you for thinking a warning level snow is just ‘meh’ when that for us 80s kids is practically memorable lol.

For years all I heard was “we don’t have winters like we used to.” It made me so angry. It really is remarkable. This decade we haven't gone a year without at least 1, 6 plus storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH has never previously even done 3 in a row and of course as I become a young snow weenie, that’s what I get greeted with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I grew up in the 80s and had plenty of fun enjoying what was laid in front of me. Did plenty of downhill skiing and it was great. Didn't know a damn thing if we were in a snow drought or not and I would not have cared. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 3 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: You are thinking of 11/19/86 I think. But there were events on both 11/11/86 and 11/11-12/87...butt he fast moving nature of the storm with intense rates pre-dawn matches the 11/19/86 storm. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/fxg1/NARR/1986/us1119.php#picture Thing is … 1986 had two Novie events? I’m certain the storm I’m thinking of was the first snow of the season that year. That kinda matches the ‘87 - either way it sneaks its way into my personal top 10 among more obvious ones.

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Some real wild fake cold this evening. It’s already hard frost outside with 30/29 at the nearby station here along the river just NW of village center. MVL ASOS also at 30/28 at same elevation. Anything under about 850 feet is dipping below freezing, while above that is like 40 degrees or more. Some of these are like 10-12 degree differences in like a mile and only a couple hundred feet elevation change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had more impressive stuff in late October. We did have a pretty good one though in 2012...Nov 6-7, 2012. Son of Sandy!

SouthCoastMA Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 First three weeks of November are kinda useless anyway..just need good weather for the cleanups as mentioned. Then around Turkey Day that's when it feels right to get some cold and start looking for wintry events on the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
