Wolfie quick to counter snowy, but what about RadarMan’s area?  30 burgers are tough.  I think October 2011 in the northern Berks?

I haven't seen one in the past 78 years.  
However, I've encountered 7 storms in the 24-26.5" range, starting with 3/56 and most recently 2/09.

I’d consider biblical to be one of those once in a lifetime events.  Blizzard of ‘78 , 1888 types.

56 was great because we were 9-10 years old and 2 feet was >half our height.  Plus the wind and drifts were as good as anything I’ve seen since.

I’m moving there.  Wanna come?  I have some extra oxygen masks to acclimate….

Mount Saint Elias on the Alaska/Yukon border is right at 500mb (18k feet)

We haven't been able to use any of these terms in quite a few years.

Out of curiosity, was Snowmeggedon Historic or Biblical?

14-15 was biblical here during that stretch of 6 weeks. I’ll never see that again. 

[dendrite]

They’re all weenie DT terms anyway. I’m not sure he even created BECS…may have been added by some weenie. 

And HECS always seemed like it should be bigger than MECS to me. Like all historical storms are major, but not all major are historical. 
 

Just my 2¢

Historic, Biblical i would say has to be in the 40" + class.

I never use those terms. It’s like the stupid names of storms TWC has. Weenie fodder.

[dryslot]

There's also SECS, Significant.

I’d say 2013 was Biblical here…an all timer. A little less(not by much though) wind here than 78, bud more snow. It was a beast.

Except you just did................

Wondering what comes after "Biblical."  You would basically have to get into something like "Cosmic."

[dryslot]

Both 2013 and 2015 blizzard's were historical.

Historic is above major any time…goes without saying.

I’d disagree here. Just down the road had 40”..so imo it was biblical here.

But feel free if you’d like. 

[ORH_wxman]

DT had 3 terms:

SECS

MECS

HECS

They were in that order too. Weenies added other ones over the years and they may have changed rankings but the original 3 were above and they went in that order. This is like circa 2000-2001

Yes, so I’d agree up there…but we were 6-10” above that here.

HECS would be in the rare category, We can't even get a SECS these past few years.
