Next 8-10 days or beyond that?
-
Except just now!
-
This statement has more truth than you realize...lol
-
So what was it about that day (other than the epic snow? Lol)
-
Yep we wasted opportunities. Boston has one of their snowiest Decembers and we got jack. Weve had 6 weeks of decent cold anomalies . And everytime we needed one Break in our favor we broke the other way. Last winter I got 30 inches lol and it was still painful Whoa, whoa backup...you got that much (probably the most of the subforum)? I know it was a rather frustrating winter, but...dude, lol
-
And for our most significant snows...mid Jan-Feb (but not the last week of Feb for whatever reason, lol) and early March has been the general strike zone even in previous decades (but if you include the 1-4" storms, I guess we did use to have a better chance in late Dec/early Jan. But these days we don't get much in that time period...so it's not as disappointing to me when it doesn't happen then. I just look ahead to the prime climo time!
-
Why should it when punting the last week of Dec and the first of Jan has become the norm? (Maybe I'm over-generalizing too much, so correct me if I'm wrong). I've come to not expect any notable snow between Christmas and mid-Jan (biggest ones don't happen until mid-Jan and Feb 20th)...So as long as this crap don't start eating into the middle of Jan...I can deal with that
-
Got some somewhat steady light flurries here in Balt. City as well! Temp around 37.
-
Yeah that too, lol But just overall...what purpose to the weather community are they serving? (just for weenie runs? Lol)
-
Why doesn't somebody just throw the useless models in the digital trash bin? Lol
-
Oh heck no....the only reason I can look past that mega torch is because of the compensation we got for it the next month, lol
-
Remember the late 2017 30-hour blizzard that popped up in fantasy range? Lol
-
But again, is this really so far from what we normally see? To me, punting late December has been pretty much the norm for the last 7 or 8 years, right? (and even historically we seemed to have to punt that part of the month more!)
-
Hey guys it's Beethoven's birthday today! Happy birthday @stormtracker, lol
-
A microscopic ruler...and measure it in milliest of meters...lol
-
Same here in Balt. city...been stuck at 37 for well over an hour Edit: Dropped a degree as I said that, lol
-
Down to 39 here in the city...
-
Ya don't say...alright I learned something, lol (but still it doesn't seem to happen too often) I guess it's only the big ticket storms like what's on this list:
-
So if it were to go down like this...all of this would be because of the pac or something else?
-
I wouldn't punt to the last week, but I'd punt to the middle of the month after the weekend threat...because of history alone! Only once in 140 years of records did the cities get a major storm (warning level at least) between Dec. 25th and mid-January: and that was January 1996. So it doesn't usually happen for the corridor, lol
-
As I've been saying...that is essentially our best window during the window. Jan 15th-Feb 20th (for warning level events we don't get many before mid-January unless we get it before Christmas (rare). And we don't get any the last week of February for some reason either, lol I daresay we've gotten more snow in the first week or two of March than December...lol But that could be wrong (I'd like to check the numbers on that)
-
So we got snow, whiff, or rain on the table...time to play wheel. of. solutions! (now, of the two fail solutions, which one is more a possibility? Are things moving away from a rain solution, or is it still pretty even?)
-
Bob, it's the last week of December...so that's almost guaranteed to happen that week, lol (doesn't snow significantly during that week or the next around here!)
-
And therein lie the crux of snow life in the Mid-Atlantic...Yes, the way we can sometimes go 50 shades of bust can be frustrating and outright gut-wrenching. And yet...does that actually make the snow even sweeter when it hits? Would we feel the same way if we got snow all the time?....I've always wondered how I'd react to getting an average of 70-100"+ every year, lol I'm not entirely sure! It's just different when it happens down here...
-
Ah that explains it (sorry I can't see people's location tags on the mobile version, lol) Was about to say...6 inches doesn't happen on the last week of December in the cities! Haha
