ACwx Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Since the window for snow this season is closing further and further, to help keep us snow lovers away from the ledge I figured it might be a good idea to start a thread where we talk about our favorite winter memories. It could be a particular storm, an intense blast of cold air, or any kind of wintry memory that comes to mind. Hopefully this thread will take away from the sting (read: boredom) of how this winter has gone. For me, I've lived through a fair number of major storms (although I was only 1 during the '96 blizzard), but the winter memory that sticks out most to me was from 2015 when an intense snow squall as part of an arctic front moved through Penn State while I was still there. A bunch of other meteo kids saw it approaching on radar, so we all decided to go on the roof of the weather building and ride it out. If you look hard in the first picture you can actually see somewhat of a shelf cloud trying to form, first time I've ever seen that outside of spring / summer. When it arrived it brought easily the worst whiteout conditions I've ever experienced. The roof was maybe only 100 feet off the ground, but when I looked over the edge I couldn't see anything but white. Winds had to be at least 40-50mph. It took a solid 20 minutes for everything to calm down too, it wasn't one of those quick 5-10 minute squalls. Definitely the most adrenaline I've had in a winter event.

snowlurker Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 A favorite winter time memory is of walking through boot-deep snow as a kid in cold temperatures in Michigan. When it's fairly cold, the snow takes on a bluish tint in your bootsteps. It also squeaks. That together with the partial numbness on your face from the intense cold really felt like winter.

MsHeatMiser Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I’ve had the good fortune of experiencing some truly awesome winter events living in the NW burbs, starting with Feb. 1978, the first storm I can recall. I was almost five years old, and remember that my older brothers built a network of tunnels through the drifts and piles from clearing our driveway. I was at Penn State during the winter of 93-94, including the cold that forced closure of the university for the first time, due to potential rolling blackouts. There were many epic snowball fights in lot 80 that winter, along with some very inappropriate snowmen. Good times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I remember having a week off from school in 1969 because of the fiasco handling of the storm by Mayor Lindsey. Back then schools were hardly ever closed for snow. I think the next time they were was in 1978. It didn't help that the 1969 forecast was snow changing quickly to rain, but NYC was not ready regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susqushawn Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 PDII was pretty sweet. I was at Susquehanna University and the storm kept creeping north on modeling. It was a bit of a surprise over performer up there. I remember looking outside seeing my car slowly get covered overnight. Great storm after a bit of a drought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramblings Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I will date myself here. I lived in the Western Boston suburbs when I was in 6th grade. It was early 1966 not sure the date. Two things made an impression. The first was that elementary schools (K-6) were classes sed for two days in a row. Unheard of. The second was a significant amount of snow. To this eleven year-old, it seemed like more snow than I had ever remembered seeing. Tyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I could remember scene. And yet it pales in comparison. What we've had more recently. . The bar is set pretty high, but I truly would be happy with a 4-inch or greater storm at this point, even though that is asking a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar event when I was at Penn State in Jan 1977. A sudden whiteout, 2-3 inches, quick drop in temperatures to near zero. Front was easy to track as it crossed the midwest, then W Pa. Lots of excitement in the meteo map room. The same system caused a severe blizzard in Buffalo, mainly from the snow blown off of a frozen Lake Erie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_of_1977 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was lucky to be in one of those deep blue dots in CNJ, haha. One childhood storm I remeber was I think in 1987(?) where we got nearly a foot in CNJ. I was 9 or so at the time. That is the first large snow that I remember. Funny thing is, I feel like the 80s weren't so terrible for snow, but being a child, I know I'm not remembering correctly.

I lost my two front teeth in a sledding accident, January 87 if I recall correctly. Or maybe it wasn't that storm exactly, but I just happened to read that. In the Northeast snowstorm book this morning, looks like a change to rain in the city south and east. But it was a stormy two months over all that winter. Growing up in the 80s. I was happy with whatever snow we got because it meant no school and sledding in the ditch in our neighborhood, It wasn't until the 93 blizzard. When the weather weenie in me. Came out in full force and it's never lessened its grip sense 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojojojo Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Smithfield, VA -- Western Tidewater/Hampton Roads. A few come to mind. 1. Christmas 1998 -- fourth grade -- very severe ice storm, snow on Christmas Eve quickly turned to ice. We lost power. After the temperature in the house got down to 45, my dad went and got an old wood stove out of the shed, put it in the dining room, and cut a chimney pipe straight through the wall of the house with a sawzall. 2. January 25, 2000 -- fifth grade -- IIRC, this storm was a lot more potent than predicted. What I remember most about it, though, is that I woke up at 5 AM to rain drops on the window and my heart sank. At 6 AM I went downstairs and my mom had the morning news on, and the meteorologists were going nuts. Then suddenly the windows sounded like they were being blasted with sand (heavy sleet), and about 2 minutes later it was quiet. We looked out the window and there was already snow on the ground. It was so heavy that 20 minutes later there had to be at least 2 inches. Then we got the robocall that school was cancelled. It snowed the entire day, dawn to way past dusk, and we were outside the entire time. This was a Tuesday and schools were closed the entire week (it was the South, after all). 3. December 26, 2004 -- tenth grade -- This was quick surprise storm that only lasted six hours from 9 AM to 3 PM, but dropped 13 inches in those 6 hours. Philadelphia, PA The '09 to '10 snowmageddons are the obvious picks. Thundersleet followed by 3-4" rates on January 26, 2011 also comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlurker Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 My favorite one has to be the 2009 December 18 storm. I was first introduced to the weather community and amateur forecasting by lurking on the Eastern web site. Although I understood only every third word of what they were saying, I was captivated and lost many hours of sleep refreshing the browser on my BlackBerry. It was thrilling to hear the confidence coming from forecasters such as Wes Junker. His thoughts helped me win the snowfall projection contest we had at work with a guess of 12-18". At the same time, I became more interested in the chase and the height of the storm itself instead of the snow on the ground itself. I became strangely disinterested in enjoying the snow once the storm stopped. But I still enjoy shoveling snow for some strange reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember leading up to the Boxing Day 2010 blizzard, I was at a family gathering on Christmas night, and kept refreshing the NWS discussion on my BlackBerry as the forecast went from like 2-4" earlier in the day up to 10-20" by the time everyone was eating dinner. They all had shocked looks on their faces as I kept updating them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had pipes break in our kitchen so my dad and I spent all weekend pulling down the ceiling to see where the leak was. Watching TWC continue to up the totals was crazy. Great times...

I was at Susquehanna University and the storm kept creeping north on modeling. It was a bit of a surprise over performer up there. I remember looking outside seeing my car slowly get covered overnight. Great storm after a bit of a drought Lol...I’ve always wondered about your screen name...I was at SU (Smith Hall) during the “failed” Valentine storm (‘81?) when my (then) girlfriend (now wife of 35 years) at Elizabethtown College got ~20” but on our side of the Susquehanna River got only 8”!! Needless to say, I was steamed and was when I first realized that I’m a snow jinx! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, I was steamed and was when I first realized that I’m a snow jinx! It was my creative (not) AOL Instant Messenger screen name when AIM was popular at that time. It just stuck. Smith Hall was my freshman year, by 99 it had a brand new 3rd floor and was coed by room. Coming from an all boys high school it was heaven on earth. I couldn't kick my parents out fast enough on move in day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking outside seeing my car slowly get covered overnight. Great storm after a bit of a drought Oh man, the memories of this one. At that time, I was at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. I went home for President's Day Weekend, and as the storm was set to blow in (I think) Sunday night, we decided to meet back up in State College (three fellow cadets and I) and drive the rental car back overnight. I will never forget that night--we left State College at 9 PM and drove straight through to New London, arriving at 9 AM the next morning for a drive that should have only taken six hours. For 300 miles, I was white knuckling the wheel and trying to drive in two little tire tracks that were clear. After 200 miles, I finally told one of my friends that I needed a break. Five minutes after I switched off, I noticed he was falling asleep at the wheel. Like, really dude? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
