  1. There are certain points every winter where the constant weird negativity given off by certain posters just gets too much and I check out. Like it seems so minor and dumb seeing weenie reacts, dumb discourse and shit alike but eventually that drags and I don’t wanna be around it. It’s kinda just the way the internet can be but honestly I think discussion suffers and unconsciously a lot of people turn away from it. I know I do. 



    Normal late in the season stuff. Every year, I never understand the battles over things we literally have no control over.

  2. Almost the entire state of MA is 6+ (10:1) on every model. So jealous. It's been almost 13 months since I saw 6" of snow here in Morris County. For some areas this will be #3 or 4 this winter alone. Spoiled fckers. 

    Dude, sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you. I live here, too, and we got hammered last year. You’re not going win them all.

  3. Honestly if this was a just world all property of all fossil fuel companies would be seized and all their CEOs and board of directors would be clapped in handcuffs and sent to Guantanamo Bay for crimes against humanity and the planet.  The International Court at The Hague should do that and send them to an international version of Guantanamo Bay, some deep dark pit from whence they are never heard from again.

  4. Instead of irrelevant trivia like when zip codes came into being this is the interesting stuff we should be talking about, I've been waiting for some awesome results from Tokamak for YEARS and now finally here we are!

    I saw this. Really good news that’s being underreported.

    (Also reconfirming my personal belief and bias that technology, market innovation, and positive actions (like tree planting) will help lead us to a more stable climate, rather than forcing lifestyle changes on an unwilling populace)

  5. The economy in the Tug region is rough. Just a heads up. I lived there for a year and lost my job because profit was too low. Also, Lowville itself gets the shaft quite often. Elevation is key.

    As much as we love weather, you have to think about where you live and if there’s 1. Economic opportunities; 2. Medical facilities if you and your wife have children.

    There’s nothing more stressful than having to take a child to the ER at night. We had to on the evening of the February 13, 2014 storm. That was awful. (He was luckily just fine!) Thankfully, we live fewer than two miles from Morristown Memorial.

  6. My fiancee wants to look at houses in Connecticut this summer so we are gonna go and check it out. I'm trying to see how it would work if I can transfer or I have to start all over with my job.


    Morris County is nice, too!

  7. It seems like Jan 96/ PD2 type storms are getting more rare.  Was Jan 2016 really good by you?  That might be the last widespread great storm I remember (although our northern neighbors got screwed there).
     

    Yes. 2’ at MMU. Last year was almost a carbon copy of that over me.

    I just scrolled through my photo memories of the time they bullseyed right over me in 2016 (this should be hanging in the Louvre):

  8. wasnt that big for us on the south shore....I think 10-12 inches at JFK?
    this storm was better for us
     

    Interesting how that goes, eh? Like a mirror image. The storm the other day was not memorable here, but it was more than 2’ last year. So it goes.

    Thank you for this. It made me screenshot this to text my dad and then have a follow-up call to reminisce over the good years.

  10. A major SSW during the 1st week of March would be a complete waste for the snow lovers. There is a big lag between a legit SSW and a tropospheric response, usually a matter of weeks after….the 2018 one that happened in mid February took almost 3 weeks to reflect down to the surface. An early March SSW wouldn’t take effect until late March and by then winter is over and done, all she wrote, fat lady singing, say goodbye and goodnight, it’s over Johnny, bring down the curtain, game over for everyone south of central and northern New England at that point, not to mention it would destroy spring (late March, April, May) as cold, miserable and rainy
