  1. I'm not nostalgic for it, but there's something to be said about having a lack of resources like we had growing up. Now I feel - even though I enjoy scrolling through this board this time of year - just inundated (no pun intended) with differing scenarios.
  2. Sounds like January 2015 here! (and most of my childhood prior to 1994...)
  3. Small sample size, though. Sure, it correlates, but it's too few to extrapolate.
  4. We had one (!) snow day in my entire elementary school career, courtesy of the March 1993 storm. I used to think Christmas movies lied since they would show snow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  5. Yes, but we can't control it, and we've been spoiled recently. That's all.
  6. Of course. It's just interesting to see these things as I get older. I'm not as disappointed as my kids; it's good character-building for them to see this after enjoying a snow day in November.
  7. That seems a bit extreme; I thought it was interesting being very cold early in the month. Of course, we all enjoy snow, but I thought it was interesting. I could do without so much rain, though.
  8. We've had so many nice snowstorms in the past decade, it's bound to swing and miss some years.
  9. I wish there was an option to love this comment. I was thinking yesterday with the solstice observed, when can we begin weaving in sun angle mentions?
  10. That would be nice; where does it show that? I haven't seen it yet.
  11. It's interesting how we perceive time since we think the second half of winter is after Christmas/once the daylight becomes longer, even though that isn't true.
  12. Wow! I want to drive up, do the cog railway, take the kids on the weather tour (for me, too), and then go back down.
  13. Yea... the driving seems a bit white-knuckled, with the lack of guide rails.
  14. Thanks! My kids are into watching the radar now, and would love the extremes of Mount Washington.
  15. Banter question: I'm thinking of taking the kids up to see some New England highlights in the near future; possibly as soon as this summer. Do you know if there are tours/know anyone who does tours of the Mount Washington weather observatory? (yes, yes... www.lmgtfy.com) My kids are into the weather and baseball, so thinking of doing a big Cooperstown - Mount Washington loop from our home.
  16. Noting that winter is over has become a Christmas tradition amongst us. Getting the tree up, hanging the stockings by the chimney with care, hawking a White Christmas that doesn't materialize, and then duly noting that winter's over.
  17. FWIW, if the November storm occurred three weeks later, no one would bat an eye.
  18. I'll take it if it's Christmas Eve through New Year's for the ambiance.
  19. Never seems to happen though, you know? Had some mood flakes last Christmas Eve, which was nice.
  20. What gets me is the bonkers headline (could be clickbait, who knows) that millennials don't own can openers. C'mon, really?
