Oh good, I see NOAA saw my winter cancel. If it wants to spite me, I’m all for it.

Careful what you wish for. The novelty wears off after awhile. I lived through the '93 Superstorm - was in Birmingham, Alabama at the time. The event itself was very exciting for a weather geek like me. Talk about an adrenaline rush seeing and hearing Thundersnow at night and 16" of snow getting dumped on you. The first day after was pretty amazing - playing in the snow and just taking-in the whole experience. I took a lot of great pictures and jumped in the snow like a little kid.
But...longleaf pine trees can't handle that much snow. A lot of them snapped. The recovery was similar to what we experienced after Ike. No power, phone or cable for two weeks. No power meant the electric furnace wouldn't run. The house got frigid. We slept in front of the fireplace in sleeping bags for 3-4 nights until it warmed-up again. Stores were closed for days, and what supplies they had quickly ran out. Thousands of people were trapped on the freeways and had to be rescued with Humvees and the National Guard.
Was it cool? Was it fun and exciting? Yeah, for the days leading up to it, during, and for about a day after the storm hit. After that, the snow melted and it was two weeks of hell.

Better than nothing. South Texas barely sees any rain anymore...some areas have gotten less than 0.50 inch so far this year. We need that to change or else it's going to be another brutal summer there.
