If the timing were better, sure...but yesterday right during the day following a holiday...not quite bad enough to get the day off, but bad enough to be a nuisance....eh.
-
Yea, coastals are hit and miss for us, but SWFE/overrunning usually have a high floor here.....though I def need a stronger high than you do.
-
Since 2016, sure.....like we had bad luck in the 80s/early 90s and late 90's, too. Again, need a larger sample size.
-
I like my spot for that....for the same reason that I sometimes get porked by those dry air corridors flowing down from Maine during CJ events.
-
That probably even works for me.
-
Its been worse these past several years, though...definitely exacerbated to some degree by a generally hostile Pacific.
-
100% agreed.
-
One thing I don't mind about CC is the increased frequency of larger events at the expense of currier and ives shit. Sign me up for that....I am okay with missing out on days like Tuesday in favor of more like January 7th even if the overall total drops a bit.
-
Yes.
-
I understand that, but the positive temp departures haven't been extreme, either.
-
You need to make lemonade when ma nature insists on kicking you in the lemons.
-
I have definitely had it better than SNE the past year an a half, but the prior several years were a real butt-plug for my spot.
-
Yea, the climate is definitely warming...no doubt. But on top of that the multi-decadal pattern has been tilted against the east coast. They have been doing just fine out west, despite CC....and again, I get the CC predisposing us to MC forcing argument, but I am not ready to accept that as a permeant change, just as I wasn't with respect to the GOA "warm blob" phenomenon that we benefited from last decade.
-
You know its bad when you lose count of how many years its been since you sniffed normal snowfall.
-
Yes...43rd consecutive year that I can't count. Corrected.
-
Man, that hit the spot....I needed a CC nut-shot while down and squirming....the blind reading the room The thing is the west has been doing just fine, so aside from Bluewave's MJO phase 5 swallowing the world stuff, its more that than CC. Just a string of shitty Pacific years.
-
I see this one frightened Phil He hadn't really seen a solid Ray melt yet...they aren't as frequent since he joined.
-
Since March 2018....I have had about 4 really good events.....December 2019, Feb 1, 2021, Jan 2022, as much of a relative porking as it was and Jan 7 this year.
-
This is what is driving me nuts....just one frigging break. There has to be one coming. And yes, I realize I lucked out earlier this month....I am talking about on a regional level over the course of an entire season in the aggregate. The coast has caught some breaks during this shit several year, stretch, too.
-
Time to just lock myself in a rubber room, watch Sesame Street and wear a ripped Larry Bird T-shirt that's about 3 sizes too small while sucking my thumb. Man, I need a break.
-
Haven't you looked at the 12z HCETSGWUW model? 5" on the cape!!
-
If the 80s were this bad, I would have fuc king strangled myself with one of those long, multi colored tube socks and some unfortunate and underpaid teacher would have happened upon me out on the playground.
-
I have never, ever in my 43 years-two months and two days, seen such an atmospheric clinic in how to not snow as these past 7 years and I lived through the 1980's.
-
The last several years, what can go wrong, goes wrong....if we get blocking, you'll hear "More useless blocking, the Pacific is king".....and if we get a decent Pacific "Well, we don't have blocking"....and seemingly either side ends up winning the golden dildo award and rams it right up my sphincter and out my ear.
-
Well, if February falls though I will start fading by that point and shifting to fantasy baseball, anyway. I'm exhausted by all of the hand-wringing and writing the past several years for what has amounted to very little winter. Ready to just say "fuc k it" and hope a high-ACE La Nina changes things next year....this would make six consecutive well below normal snowfall seasons for me.
