Maybe you're thinking of the "jonas" blizzard in late Jan that season. The 2/5/16 special was a wave on a front that had this very long SW/NE movement on the radar. Models had it ticking NW every run leading up to the event, it was kind of a surprise event 24 hours in because beyond that it was mostly forecast to be a whiff. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a lot easier to say when you don't have any to lose. I explained my position, and as I said I love winter, and I love to have it on the ground too. BUT….if that’s not gonna happen(and sometimes it does happen, and sometimes it doesn’t), then I’ll be more than happy to take a good snow event, and if it’s gonna melt, or wash away a few days later so be it. I’d rather have had the storm and not be able to keep it, than not have the storm because it’s warm after. And No Defense Mechanism here at ALL. So now you all know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the one that started 6 hours aftet the Super Bowl in Metlife stadium; that would been cool to see if it was sped up by 6-9 hours. EDIT Nope that was 2014.. Very similar storm though..

I don’t think anyone is saying they don’t want snowpack, it’s just that it’s not necessary for having a good winter subjectively. That’s my genuine answer hand to God. If I needed weeks and weeks of snowpack to be happy here I’d be miserable more often than not more seasons than not. That’s my climo here in the valley lowlands. As you know it’s different up there. I can easily see how pack matters to you. It’s normal to have it there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 minutes ago, WinterWolf said: So the one in ‘16 wasn’t on Super Bowl Sunday late night after midnight, into Monday morning then? No it was a friday storm. There was another super bowl storm in 2015 too. The 2/2/15 storm was the day after the SB. Started right after it ended actually IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem so but the one on Feb 2014 and the one on Feb 2015 both occurred/started on Super bowl evening into Monday. Thats why i thought you meant 2015, but 2014 same thing happened.
