Somehow I do sense the longing for not just a blizzard, but a monster blizzard. You know, the big one, 30 plus inches in a storm that lasts for days. Those kinds of storms usually only happen once or twice in a generation. I experienced the blizzard of 1966, which basically shut the city down for a week. Back then as a kid, I loved being out of school for a week, plus being a snow lover, I was in my glory. As much as I would love to see that kind of historic storm again, I have mixed emotions, as a storm of that magnitude has it's bad side, with loss of life, income from not working etc. I lost an uncle during the blizzard of 1966, who suffered a heart attack walking to work because the plows couldn't clear the streets. Because the ambulance and other emergency vehicles couldn't get to him in time because of the storm, they had no chance to revive him, or get him to a hospital in time. My excitement over the storm quickly turned into wishing it had never hit.

We've been riding snowmobiles every weekend up there for over THREE MONTHS now, and there's still another couple of weeks left in the season regardless of temps. I believe they've had 250" in that area, 300"+ just north of there in higher terrain. Snowbanks are up past the window sills from snow coming off the roof. <br /><br />Still, it is those warm ups that the winters of 2010-11 and 02-03 did not have that make them #1, 2 in the past decade, and this one #3.Chris now in Penfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-53964032375489735722014-03-13T12:54:58.061-04:002014-03-13T12:54:58.061-04:00Yeah Chris, could you imagine the snowpack had we ...Yeah Chris, could you imagine the snowpack had we not had those melts?

Well as of EOD yesterday we were at 101." <br /><br />I also said we'd need a big March storm to hit 110" which was my target range I set back in mid December of 110"-120" for the season. I think at this point 110" will be reached without problem as it would be an aberration if we didn't get at least 9" more before it's done.<br /><br />Nothing magic about my predictions, just using 73 years of weather history and analyzing patterns, rather than using gut feel and emotion as some do.<br /><br />This has been a great SNOWY WINTER!<br /><br />With that said, if I could flip a switch and turn on spring weather starting next week, I would most certainly would. <br /><br />AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-61942739708353447942014-03-13T11:34:29.190-04:002014-03-13T11:34:29.190-04:00For those who kept talking about how we always mis...For those who kept talking about how we always miss out on the big storms, and we never get anything. Interesting how those of you have failed to post about the hours of shoveling you have done, the difficult road travel conditions yesterday afternoon and last night. <br /><br />The City is now asking residents who have not other choice but to park on the street to remove their cars. Have they driven around to see how buried in the snow many cars are, and for some it will truly take several hours to just shovel to the point they will be able to even move their car. <br /><br />Hats off to the snow plowers who did an AWESOME job last night and overnight. The roads though not perfect were drivable and passable (with caution). THANK YOU!!!!<br /><br />Please don't post about another possible storm next week, and I have already begun to see some points from bloggers asking about next week. We truly need to see Spring and get back the snow and cold. See Wednesday as winters say of saying "goodbye for the season, and I've left you this gift to remember me during the Spring, Summer, and Fall months.

I was not bashing forecast's, just stating that Blizzard conditions are VERY common to the north Hamlin area, much of which are worse than this particular storm.<br /> <br /><br />HPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-35939953579649276832014-03-12T23:10:17.333-04:002014-03-12T23:10:17.333-04:00Guess HP wasn't blown away.Guess HP wasn't blown away.Spreadsheet Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-77193016355919310922014-03-12T23:07:02.146-04:002014-03-12T23:07:02.146-04:00The biggest bust?
