    We've actually had several winters since 1965 where we've made it to January before I received my first measurable snowfall - having said that, I don't have records for this, but I cannot remember not seeing so much as a flurry prior to the New Year. At this point we have a puncher's chance of that happening. Also, my definition of measurable is not the same as "official" records...to me, that has meant at least .1" of snow on the ground.

    I remember weather events from the 1970s and 80s much more vividly than I do from last year. Don't know why, but it's true. I remember the sound of the rain on our roof from Agnes in 1972...it's a sound that it etched in my memory forever. I can still here it...

    Yesterday I mentioned arctic fronts in the 1970s and 1980s that featured dramatic temp drops - below is a chart I got out of the MA thread this morning...this is for DCA, obviously the same front came through our area as well. Note that out of the top 10 temp drops of all time, 3 of the 10 were in a 4 year period from 1978-1981. Take a looksie at how far the temp plummeted. This old man's memory is still pretty good:

    FWIW, CTP does not mention snow in my forecast at all. Rain ending by 1pm Friday, then windy and cold.

    100% agree - snow that will be washed away in minutes? Well okay, given that I haven't seen so much as a flake, for that reason only, I'd take it. Otherwise, fully onboard with snow/wind/cold = staying power. Skies were partly to mostly cloudy here the entire night I guess. (It was cloudy at 11 when I went to bed and cloudy at 5am when I woke up)

    Low of 30 this morning in Maytown.

    I said something to my wife about the front or back end scenario and she said right now...neither.

    I remember your request, and I am only posting about weather now. As I said last week, I was largely responsible and apologize again for that.

    I didn't see anything really out of line. I might have missed something though.

    I was telling a few people this over the weekend. There were several winters that decade that produced so few chances...it was a lean period save for a few bigger events. On top of that, our knowledge was limited back then to TV 7 day forecasts...without being able to parse models and such, we couldn't even get a glimpse into all of our impending failures like we can today.

    I could not possibly agree more with you on every point and at every level of your post. It's way bigger and way deeper than jaded weenies on a weather board.

    25 and frosty this morning. It's been years since we've had a frontal passage accompanied by a sharp temp drop - much more common back in the 70 and 80s. I'm not talking about going from 65 to 44, I'm referring to 40 degree drops like what we might see this week. At least it's something interesting to watch for.

    More rain for me...

    We'll see-I'm not super enthused right now.

    Map can't be right...part of Lanco sees snow on that.
  16. Itstrainingtime
    We do wind well!

    Really, really want to see some snow (obviously) over the next few weeks. We're in prime time for snow retention, which was the thing that I was most excited about with this epic pattern.
  18. Itstrainingtime
    That, I do not know. But I don't ever remember not seeing so much as a flake by the end of December. I'm hoping to not make history this year.

    I went from a heavy dusting at 12z to a very light dusting at 0z. LOL

    AC Watches up for late week!

    Weather not sports report - snowing in Orchard Park NY.
  22. Itstrainingtime
    City and north right now.
  23. Itstrainingtime
    It very, very rarely works for us. But not never.
  24. Itstrainingtime
    It snowed on March 12th (I measured 3") and it came after temps dropped from the 50s the previous day, but I can't remember all the details of the setup going in.

    Who knows even what tomorrow's runs will bring? Lots can happen.
