@BRENT69696 Yeah it was. I do wonder what our winter holds this year, especially with these colder than avg. temps? I love James Spann. I am in Ga, so I can't watch him daily. I do watch him when he goes live un ustream during bad weather, and chat in the chat room. : )

@BRENT69696 No, actually, this was during ENSO neutral conditions. There was no el nino or la nina during this.

It sure is hard to believe its been that long I agree. That storm was amazing. James was right, probably won't ever see another one like that. I remember our power went out about 8pm or so that friday night and didn't come on until the next tuesday.

@crkt75 My power went out Sat. evening around 5pm. I had just finished cooking a huge pot of spaghetti. Something told me to hurry up and cook. It was out until Monday, but luckily we had a wood burning fireplace in a room where we could shut the doors off. That thunder snow was wild, wasn't it?

Hard to believe it's been 17 years.  Remember it like it was yesterday.
