Talk:Blizzard of 2007

It seems precipitous to call this Valentines Day storm "the blizzard of 2007 given the storms in Colorado earlier in the winter and the 8ft of snow on the ground now  upstate NY Sallym 23:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

True, but the upstate NY snow was lake-effect, which, while certainly being astronomical in proportion, differs from a free-moving system such as this one. As far as the Colorado storms go, I think the most notable ones took place in late 2006, not 2007.

I see your point; don't get me wrong. We're only two months into the year; there could definitely be a major storm or two in November/December that qualifies as a blizzard. Still, the proximity of this storm is unbelievable; some meteorologists are already comparing it to the major storms in 2006 and 1993. http://wwwa.accuweather.com/news-blogs.asp?partner=accuweather&blog=community - scroll down to the post titled "V-Storm: Cams, JB RE: 1993."
