The thread: This adds another reason why I won't pull the plug on this winter unless we don't get anything by late Jan/early Feb. If we could get just a week of cold...

Glorified therapy courtesy of yours truly

You're not the first person I've heard say that on here...almost the exact same thing actually--She also said she used to get upset then had some losses and gained perspective. It's always kinda stuck in my mind...I mean I hope that ain't what it's gonna take for me to break out of it, though. Logically ya know there are more important things...and yet ya find yourself getting upset--all because somehow it looks larger than literally everything else in life at that moment. But it ain't so and really is just snow...far worse things can happen than it not snowing. But Iogic is one thing, emotion is another, lol If ya feel like you need it, ya gonna think you can't live without it.

For me end of January is my line of demarcation. Feels like if we have another 2016 in us where we get a brief period of decent cold to get one storm, that (or perhaps early Feb) would be the time. I'm not putting all my money on it...but that's about how long I'd let it play out before just unplugging completely (eh who am I kidding I'll probably peek through the blinds through PD, lol)

Believe it or not...I'm more at peace with this season being a dud then I am about future duds happening this way and more often (and a longer snow drought if things don't work out next year). One bad season ain't my issue...I get over fails that don't even make inside 5 days rather quickly, actually.

Listen KNOWING it's bad doesn't make the pain go away, dude. I'm not sure you understand what if feels like. For some of us the present reality is not what we came up with like at at all. This problem is potentially bigger than now...but the FUTURE. It's not just bad now, but talkin' worse in the future. That part is NEW. Before ya had duds then hits, not 7 straight duds with no guarantee it breaks. That's pain, dude, and it's a tough pill to swallow this new reality.

I didn't mean "position" like it's a matter of opinion. What you're saying about what's happening right now is right (it is)...you're just saying it a LOT. Why you gotta say it over and over and over--it only reinforces depression in an already depressed thread. It's kinda like...yeah we know, we heard ya, it's horrible (it actually is).

Yeah but just consider the thread though...I mean we are as downtrodden as we ever have been already. I mean your position is like crystal clear, seriously. It's like a constant reminder even if based on how things have been

Better Of course I know you're just calling balls and strikes...but man, every now and then if ya don't have good news to post...

Same question...That week is gonna be one to watch to see if we can re-establish some kind of cold before the next weekend/beginning of Feb

As I typed I predicted someone would come back and say something like this...I was right, lol Now technically, I don't deliver bad news...I complain about it

I'm sorry you've reached your maximum for the number of bad news posts in a day. Please try again tomorrow

Saturday evenings a week before are it's favorite time too, lol

Don't make him pull out the other instances the last 7+ years...lol

Nobody will deserve that more than we do. Feels like we've suffered enough!

Hey I'm not even mad at mext week's threat failing (was a tad annoyed but that's it. I wasn't too far in on investinf) as much as WHY it's failing. I'm worried about little to no snow in future years, every January looking like this, and no positive admist the more normal usual ways we fail. Like even if it was just A bad season, that would be one thing. But now this could be all future winters. Like legit the main thing to look forward to in DJF ain't gonna be there even as occasional as it was. Thanks for telling me about the app, snowen...will definitely consider making use of it.

I've already lost productivity this week. Even right now there's something I really need to do but I'm stuck thinkin' about this mess now just because I peeked back in for a few minutes. Now I'm depressed again and can't focus.

I don't wanna hear another complaint about threads being unreadable--there is literally nothing to discuss of any weather importance to anybody in terms of the next week or to. We got every right to rant and rave now in whatever thread (again, nothing in the immediate to discuss). If this is our future then we all need time to process it. And yes, ranting is a part of that. May as well let it all out!

I'm not sure I want to...I think it's only gonna lead to more depression.

Alright so it doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure it's gonna take any longer explanations to explain that further. We're screwed for the future, the entire continent is the south now. Got it. I swear everytime I come in here it messes up my day. I was in a good mood till I came on here and read this (true but frustrating) mess. And that's my fault for even peeking in here.

Ya know, if it weren't for a wonderful teacher I had in middle and high school with that same name, the name Hadley would instantly draw my winter ire. I've heard you guys talk about them, and while I don't quite understand the mechanisms and such (and quite frankly I don't think I want to) I know enough to know that I don't like that thing, lol Hey anybody got a picture of one I can put on a punching bag I don't own?

For no reason other than a weenie gut feeling (no doubt influenced in part by 'nac and our history of snows AFTER the 15th) I still believe in that late Jan/early Feb period. It may take about that long (or maybe a week before) to get some kind of favorable change enough to get a window.

Why not just...let it play out more?

Man we can't even get this right, lolol

I'm wondering how many in this forum took an extra drink more than usual this evening, lol
