I was young, early to mid-nineties when we got at least a foot and half of snow.

That was great.

In March of 1993 we had what was called the "Superstorm".

It actually started in the gulf of Mexico as a low pressure system with no frontal activity. At one point, the storm was putting down precipitation (in whatever form) in both Canada and Central America. It was a freak storm, and that had 'tropical' behaviour, due to its
Gulf origin.

This year is on track for something of that nature. Not probable, but possible. The gulf remained largely undisturbed this summer because of lack of tropical activity, so the temp of the gulf is a degree or two higher this year than normal.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again... this is going to be a very interesting winter. A wet one indeed... will it be rain, or will it be snow? Guess we'll find it soon enough. :popcorn:
