One of my all-time fave storms. Even though Dec 15th 2007 gave me dbl digits and Dec 15th 20 yrs earlier didn't, I'd still take a repeat of this storm first. Ofc, those days before wx boards and the web, I don't even know if it was forecasted in SMI to do much tbh? With the way it exploded, I doubt it. Looking at this vid tells me the worst across my area (SEMI) was prolly about 2am to 6am, right when I was (ofc) catching zzz's. Guessing I stepped out for work about 7am and whoa! the winds were ripping due easterly like I've never seen before or since. Snow had turned to a light mix by then to be followed by T-showers, then another 2-4" on the backside as it filled over NMI.  I sure miss the dynamic storms that seemed more common back then. NW flow winters have been great for stacking snow on snow, but true bombs have been missed tbh.
