Well I don't. I was not living here then. I was in Illinois where we were readily plastered and blasted by icy storms. So, I have 0 memories of this fabled blizzard.
That is not to say I don't respect it. I just didn't experience it. I had a good Halloween that year, though it may have been a tit nipply.
This storm may be at those same levels. If you were here, this may seem very familiar. Models are predicting 10" on the low end and as much as 20" on the high end.
The biggest impact from this storm will of course be the snow itself but also the blowing and drifting due to the high winds. Again, sustained wind speeds need to be at least 35mph for a storm to qualify as a Blizzard. Then we win a shiny new Wii or something. After the storm moves out, there will be a bitter cold spell with highs struggling to get positive.
This weekend may be a good time to do some holiday baking. Get provisions now. If you have a fireplace, using it may be a great plan. I think we may be starting a fire and hunkering down.
