Terpeast Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 2 minutes ago, Jersey Andrew said: I think many of us love the long-tracking HECS potential. It’s what made 2016 and 2010 so much fun. Before the Internet and these boards, the aesthetics mattered more but now the excitement of EURO showing HECS at 1:30am is what keeps us going. Yeah, these are two different paths to a memorable stretch of winter. One is tracking an incoming HECS and experiencing incredible rates and sheer accumulations. Another is getting a series of surprise/overperforming hits with cold and longer lasting snow pack… not necessarily MECS but how often do we get upgraded to a warning from an advisory twice in the same week? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big storms are the apex of this game but they're too rare to base my satisfaction on. When a real chance shows up I go ape shit like anyone. But the odds are low and the breaks in between are too long. I don't like living my life feeling like I'm missing anything and I enjoy living in the moment more than anything. There were a ton of fun moments over the last week. What a blast 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got bullseye'd from that snow squall on Sunday, too. That one set the table. No complaints snow-wise...this was about as quality as it gets here for winter weather.

What a blast Thing is, we can rely on 3 seasons here, but winter is hit/miss. Having a winter with at least the standard 2-3 snowstorms completes the puzzle.

AtlanticWx Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 7.5" here! I had the same totals as my friends in Gaithersburg & Clarksburg before hand, but we really lucked out with the squalls here. Picked up like 1.5" with the squalls, we really lucked out here lmfao 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been lots of compaction with a 30 degree temp around 2pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
