That's what I heard about him as well....Now tell me this: is a coach that is good at coaching AND recruiting harder to find? Because I've heard Gary was the opposite of Turgeon, lol

I still feel like Turgeon finally had his final four team...LAST year, lol (stupid covid). This year's team? I don't know...I don't like the way they reacted to that upset loss last week. Not exactly a championship mentality...but we shall see.

Ya know...this one is tougher to get over for some reason. I think it's because previously...we knew every 3-4 years we'd get an above average winter. But now we're at 5 years...no warning level here. That has to be a bit unprecedented (unless that span in the 70s was similar). So it doesn't feel like just this winter...but future ones could be jeopardy, and I honestly have no idea how to deal with that (can't move). I guess we gotta wait a little longer to say for sure if it's a trend Spring arrival...while pleasant...is a little depressing this year, because it's kind of a reminder of what we just missed. All that being said...since 2016, we've had 3 la ninas...and one neutral with a hostile ++++AO which doesn't help. But this year...can we say blocking doesn't mean diddly squat anymore? Eh, probably not the truth, but dang that stings. ....So how's next winter looking? Lol

Spring comes...but after the way the winter went...it's a little harder to enjoy it this year...at least initially. Right now it's just a reminder of the winter's failures. But hey, perhaps the warmth and cicadas will make it better!

That works, lol

Anybody else flip the channel if the news starts talking about snow somewhere else? Lol I can't take it this year, I'm telling ya...

You're killin' me dude...lol Seriously though...sucks hearing about this. And then ya step outside and feel the warmth and know winter is at it's end...Like I said, this one stings a certain way.

Hearing about "historic" snows elsewhere is depressing. Can't avoid hearing about it in the news...Hard to enjoy the nice temperatures because it marks the end of winter...with future prospects of warning-level snow in question. The ending of this winter is more difficult than last year for some reason...

For some reason the end of this winter hurts worse...As bad as last winter was, you were still happy to put it out of it's mystery. But this year? What could've been feels worse. Like every mention of spring is a bit depressing (only bright spot is the cicadas, lol) I don't want warmer days (they only remind me of what we missed)...I'd like more cold for more opportunities for snow to try and improve the totals and have something to look forward to, for crying out loud. End venting.

And mama @mappy lives up to her name!! Awesome map! Interesting to see where we're clustered, haha

I'm close to Northwood Elementary School 39.3525013441, -76.5894873142.

Really? They must've revised that, because I could've sworn the official measurement from that storm was a trolling 4.8", Iol That's kinda how it's gone...everything but 5"!

And that one fringed BWI...lol So we are in a particularly bad drought of warning-criteria snow. 5 years...but we have had scenery snow at least, lol

Got a little ice accretion on the powerlines out back...def light/moderate frza here

Never seen someone spell it like that, lol

I'd suggest getting off of here and trying to enjoy what we are getting...but at the same time I get ya. I just wonder if comparison takes from the enjoyment. Was a stark difference a couple weeks ago when we got the wet snow that covered everything...I was tad disappointed seeing folks get more while I was online, but...as I drove out afterward, appreciated it a lot more.

Oh...I've been purposely not looking on here, lol Whatever it is I wanna know as little about it as possible until it's right on us, haha

Come again? Lol

Whoa! Just woke up a half hour ago...I wasn't expecting covered everything, lol Been coming down at a pretty good clip...gotta cancel appointment I had, lol I see they expanded the advisory! Adiabatic cooling ftw?

Anybody else wanna break up with it? Hahaha

Last 5 years...What makes them different from other 5 year stretches? I mean...just looking at the numbers...I see other 5-year stretched containing a single digit totals (like the early 90s--the 4 years preceeding the winter with the March 1993 storm looked pretty mediocre with 3 single-digit totals. Granted, a mod nino may have been disrupted by Pinatubo). That being said...I do see that since 2011 we've had 3 of our lowest winters. NOW....with that, I have to wonder if we just drew a bad ++++++AO card twice in that time span (unless the AO spiking like that has something to do with you-know-what)

Yeah but what if the specifics are what caused things to be 2C warmer? Lol I mean no cold on our side of the globe is a pretty big specific!! I mean no wonder the blocking didn't work in January!

Maybe I'm not ready to accept that it's more difficult to get snow now, but...Was not having any cold air on our side of the globe during Dec/Jan not a big part of the problem? And what about what happened with the TPV this month? And I don't get that if the problem is the "something"...how is it that Texas and Arkansas have more cold and snow than we do? What about Seattle? How can we know for sure unless we give it some more time to see if this repeats in a future winter? If it weren't for the two problems I just mentioned (no cold in the source region, followed by the unfortunate TPV placement this month), I'd give it more weight, but...I'm not sure I wanna give up on snow chances still being decent here.

Shoveling this stuff earlier was like cleaning off wet Domino sugar that dried and got caked on! Powdery on the top...rock-hard on the bottom, lol

Alright can somebody clear up for me the whole Z system? What time (on the clock) is 0z? Or does it vary by model?
