My favorite is Troy's slogan of "Lowest in Elevation, Highest in Recreation." Obviously they are further north, in a less shadowed location than mine but at about 1880-1900 ft, the elevation is the same as mine. Love Kootenai falls. Also, I wonder what you would think of TR. Rancher who walked the walk but never stayed for a Medora, North Dakota winter and cashed out after that mega blizzard year of 1886-1887. Obviously Roosevelt wasn't a southerner, but NYC is much warmer in the winter.

The temperature criteria was stupid imo. Let's take 2 hypothetical storms... Storm A: Temps in the single digits, winds 35-40 mph and visibility less than a quarter mile for 4 hours. Storm B: Temps in the teens, winds 40-50 mph and visibility near zero for 6 hours. Is storm A demonstrably worse than storm B? I don't think so, yet storm A would've been classified as a blizzard while storm B wouldn't have been. I think the modern blizzard criteria with it being based on winds and visibility got it right.

I’m really hoping Kansas city gets crushed. They’ve had some heart breakers.

That's kinda of my point- never seen a "SEVERE" blizzard warning nowdays- anyone ??? -- even though its listed as such in this. I do know back in the day (hard to find with a google search) that a true blizzard warning back in the day required temps at 10F or lower and 45 mph winds sustained (I think-- but maybe gusts)-- anyhew-- this is still 'historic' as the Topeka NWS called it and I don't wanna diminish what this is.

That's the spirit!
