I was so blown away by rockies snowstorms that the 93 storm went mostly unnoticed by me. It was only years later when I really understood what happened when I started feeling like I missed something big. I missed Jan of 96 for the same reason. Personally I think 03 was a better storm than 96. It is the most underrated storm in our area IMO. Still a couple of legit chances showing up on the GFS this run. The one toward the end of next week is interesting. Amped up but west. Then jumps too late for us. Definitely something to watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean...I don't know how other parts of the subforum fared, but that was a 2- footer here that caved in roofs (like the B & O). All heavy and wet! Imo no 2- footer should be underrated--given ya only see one every 6-7 years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thunderstorm ongoing when I went to bed on the 12th and when I woke up there was heavy snow blowing drifts up against the front door. We missed school for a long time, mostly because of all the sleet that had made the roads like a minefield. Same - living in South Jersey. I was excited by the storm, but even though we picked up about a foot of snow, I think I was more annoyed by the sleet and rain to really appreciate it.

Living in central NJ at the time and we lost power and got a good amount of snow. Blizzard of ‘96, however, still takes the cake for me. I was home from college for winter break and we got 30”. I was in Central Jersey for 93. I was 11 years old. I remember a foot of snow followed by warm and rain and then everything iced over. You could walk on top of the snow and it was impossible to move. Guy next door got tired of shoveling and drove his car over the ice mound at the bottom of his drive way and destroyed the car. Blizzard of 96 was a lot better.

CAPE Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 We can do cold and dry here in March lol. Hopefully the advertised cold period is legit and we can time something up. There certainly have been hints on the ensembles, but we are talking the 10th at the earliest and likely beyond, so no consistent signal yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way easier to get amped systems in March than the dead of winter. We'll see. But I do like our chances for something mid month for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the cold air might be fairly transient, even if briefly intense. Probably need a wave within 48-72 hours after the big FROPA to have a good airmass in place. Long way out still. I’m mostly hoping my magnolia and daffodils don’t get ambitious in the next 4 days so they don’t get nuked next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have seen it in full bloom a few times. Always prematurely destroyed by March cold. Is this the name of the game with magnolias or is "March is the new Dec" the culprit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been in this house for 6.5 years now so my experience only runs that far with them. But they do seem inclined to bloom early. I think in those 6 springs, we’ve had 2 good blooms, 2 sort of intermediate that got some frost nip, and 2 early that got nuked by March cold. So far the buds on mine don’t seem far along so I’m cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet come back every single year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a cold climate variety that is grown all the way up in Wisconsin. The constant false start to spring and then return to deep winter cold is the culprit.
