I resided in Roanoke Rapids, NC at the time and worked at a Sleep Inn in maintenance in that same city which was right along I-95. The height of the blizzard was at night in that region and the lobby to nearly all the way to the continental breakfast nook was packed with '95ers. Fred G. Sanford would have had a heart attack and Frank Barone a holy c moment! Made some great tips during that blizzard "party"! And the hotel employees got some free lodging.tron777 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 8:40 pmJanuary 1996... posted on it numerous times.

It cannot happen to that degree in this set up. Some 6-8" totals for some folks on our forum... it's doable per the data that we are seeing anyway. Can't argue with it.

AWESOME Chuck!
Re: White Christmas Blizzard 2022
Just wanted to add a post. I think there's a 50% chance of a blizzard warning, maybe a bit higher.

Re: White Christmas Blizzard 2022
My memory: 26 inch snowpack on the ground before rain arrived which melted it down to 3 inches. Then, it changed to snow and 12.2 inches fell during the blizzard of 78heybert00 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 22, 2022 8:51 pm So I know these are different storms, but it made me think. I was a child during the late 70's blizzard. How much snow actually fell in the Dayton area during that event? I remember my parents walking to the grocery (which they never did) and pulled us on a sled. To a kid, the snow seemed 6 feet tall piled on the sides of the road.

I mentioned this forum to Dan who runs the Dayton Weather Spot FB page. He's one of the couple of weather pages I follow there.

March of 2008 blizz
January 2009 multiday snow and ice event
Dec of 2010 snowiest on record for CVG

Winter of 13-14 - 2nd snowiest on record at CVG

Hello! I’m mike in Milan. I have been enjoying the conversation all week. I have been warning everyone all week about the storm. Most think I’m crazy because TV Mets have been saying snow totals of 1-3 inches.
