We are approaching the end of the calendar year, which means it's time for our annual weather event of the year voting! Last year, we were in the midst of an extremely active winter weather pattern and the winning event was the December 2010 blizzard which coincidentally occurred as the voting was open. This year, in a more quiet pattern, we have plenty of time to reflect on the weather events from the past year. In the spirit of social networking and integration, we encourage you to reply to us on Facebook or Twitter   with your nominations. We will continue nominating for a few days (or until we get an overload of nominations). Voting will then begin and will run through January 1st, 2012. At that point, we will announce the winner and then conduct a case study on the winning event. Exciting, no? Get voting! We've included some potential events below, in case you happened to forget what went on this past year. Pictured right: Radar imagery from 2010's winning event, the December 26th 2010 "Boxing Day" Blizzard. This storm brought over 30 inches of snow to some locations throughout the area, as well as several hours of blizzard conditions. Travel delays and power problems were extensive.
