  1. You know my posts well Btw I feel completely justified in making whatever lament I do on here...the unfairness that's happened in my yard the last 7 years warrants it, and there's absolutely nowhere else to put the angst but here...but don't worry I think it'll all be wrung out by winter, lol
  2. Dang really? Now in your region what does a rough patch look like? Lol
  3. Kinda mediocre in my yard. 10-11 inches. Nice scenery snow, however...and I do value that a bit more than I used to.
  4. Agree. See, Ninas can do median (and sometimes average) in terms of total snowfall. But they just do it in a paltry nickel and dime kind of way with 1-2 inches. But yeah...already looking ahead to 2023-24. So... Wake me up...when the nina ends
  5. Let me show ya what I wish it would look like. This is my lifetime as far as my working memory can reach: (excuse the sloppy writing, lol) You see how 2-3 years of mediocrity was balanced out by a good year? Now, was every winter 2009-10? Of course not! That's not where my expectations are. What I DO look for, is NOT going 7 years without getting even ONE moderate snowfall over 6 inches. That's not what I grew up with, and this is the longest spurt of that I've ever had. Now what also doesn't help is...FIVE of the last 7 winters (including this upcoming winter) have been Ninas. My yard doesn't get warning events from ninas, so maybe that's part of the reason. Now 2018-19 I just got bad fortune...what walloped DC gave me 4.8 inches with light rates. Nice to look at, but...yeah a better result that woulda helped.
  6. I don't think I am taking it to the extreme. Every week I keep hearing about how strong the Nina is remaining...why would that change much before winter? So I assume this winter will look like last winter at best (12-15"), or worse if we don't get a January like last winter. So when I say "given up"...I guess I mean giving up on anything more (that is, snowfalls that are 5-6"+)
  7. Is it that hard to predict, though? I mean ya coulda said that last year and yet the enso that we knew was gonna be there determined exactly what happened. Now unless enso changes...what's hard to predict?
  8. When things get better posts will probably get better...or at least not as bad. Ya gotta understand the reason behind it...it has been a string of mediocrity since 2016. I know people are tired of hearing that but it is what it is. People are justified in frustration
  9. Let me ask ya something: What kind of winter followed the discussion we had a year ago?
  10. Well if you've practically given up on this winter (barring significsnt change), then I know I ain't too far off on writing this winter off, lol Nina enso seems to behave the most predictably, doesn't it?
  11. This is a picture of severe weather luck in Balt. City this summer...mercy.
  12. Ya don't know kick in the teeth this year unless you missed the monster cell on the 12th like I did!
  13. Baltimore has kinda been in the same boat (although I think a decent one finally got through next last week). Been kinda frustrating!
  14. Now what caused that brief hut intense bout of wind a little while ago?
  15. Man I sure as heck hope this doesn't keep reloading for a quadruple dip...now that would really suck! I don't know enough about enso...but could this be an unprecedented event of it going and going for another year? Just seems endless, lol But someone did say that all things eventually break down...so I hope that finally happens after this winter.
  16. All I know is I ain't playin' this game this year, lol Model run to Model run just makes zero sense after what we saw last season and the season begitr Now some like the chase, and I get that. But if you sittin' in a nina in a spot not named CAPE's yard (or PSU's in March), why would you waste time model watching for a favorable outcome? Ain't happenin'! Lol
  17. Well, just got back from vacation up in Northeast, MD. Retreat is right on the water...so the scorch we've had the past couple of days didn't feel as bad! (Although midday yesterday was predictably brutal even for there). And now here we are...in the also predictable 3rd weekend of July heat wave, lol Question: Is there a meteorological reason why this particular weekend is always the hottest? Or is it just kinda fluky how it keeps happening on what used to be Artscape weekend? Lol
  18. Heck yeah!!! Enjoying the wave! And hey, even if we eventually have a bit of a dip...you see the potential!
  19. Now this is just a wild probably uneducated question: Is there a such thing as a permanent enso state? Like is it possible for things to get "stuck"? Lol
  20. I'd say we've made out pretty well for being in July, no?
  21. My sentiments exactly. I'd hate the damage...yet I'm still disappointed I missed the big storm. But again glad to not have damage...but I woke up still stewing about missing yet another event...but thankful at the same time, lol
  22. I swear the weather here has let me down over and over...it's infuriating. Stuff just ain't been workin out the last few years...and each miss--be it severe or winter--is a gut punch. Life ain't fair and that includes weather. But just once in awhile I'd like some momentary excitement and not have to constantly watch everybody else cash in (minus the damage, of course)
