Its looking like 1996 all over again

Blizzard followed by warmth = flooding

Very true. Actually this whole year, at least in my general area, reminds me of the Winter of 1995-1996. Take all the Great Lakes' Lows that brought heavy rain, and thus lack of over all snow, to the region. Same as early 1996, and also my area got 6 inches of snow from the '96 event, and 6.10 Inches from this '06 event


PS: If this keeps up we should have a wet and stormy Summer in the East this year, just like 1996
