    1. Who are these people who come out of the woodwork when a storm is approaching 2. We brought home a puppy yesterday, so we’re anticipating at least a foot in MMU, maybe double that just because of the puppy. .

    Wouldn't be surprised if that happens or it jogs NW 50 miles just for the fun of it.

    I could eke out a usage of my snowblower @MMU with this.

    Literally. Every. Time. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

    And total game theory here, that's just our own internal biases projecting. I hear you being in Morris, too, but nature doesn't care about what happened in an analog event. Each event may rhyme, but it doesn't repeat.

    March 2018 did that to me. Unreal. Probably like most of us here, I love the anticipation and to see it happen, but then reality hits when you have a home, family, and life. .

    I just want enough to try out my new snowblower and for the kids to help shovel while having fun. A 4 to 8 even would do that, tyvm. .

    On my all-time favorite storm list.

    Can you explain what this is to me like we're trying buy up shares of obsolete retail video game cartridge companies from our basements?

    STOP THE COUNT

    Our memories are short and biases real. It's why means and averages exist. I don't wish to see anyone not get what they want, but nature doesn't care. I mean, @MMU, my entire childhood I was annoyed with the higher elevations that I could see any time I was on Route 10. Then, we got hit more than they did in the past 15 years or so.

    Out of curiosity - and I don't watch Local TV weather more than maybe twice a year - why not? Do you think he's wrong, or intentionally underplaying it?

    Being electric, my guess is that it will have problems over a foot, though it has a 20" clearance. If there's a forecast for a lot, I'll do two sweeps. I don't have a ton of driveway, but the March 2018 storm (18" here) was a beast to do by hand.

    I received a new EGo snowblower for Christmas... so we've had about 2"+ since then. I'm just hoping that if it snows, there's enough to use my new snowblower at least once before winter winds down.

    If? It's not happening for five days.

    I received a new Ego Snowblower for Christmas. I hope I can use it at least once this year. .

    Every year you can depend on that to help complement the “Winter is Over” posts that occur prior to New Year’s. .

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the kind of flavor of storm that February 8, 1994 was? (one of my all-time underrated favorites)

    What does this mean to a layman? That it'll be a quick hitter? TIA.

    The $800k price concerns me. .

    It’s the tranquility that does it for me, in regards to reminding me of my childhood. Just nothing going on precipitation wise. I’m concerned about drought later in the year. .

    Thank you! I genuinely don't understand the physics and math behind everything, but I feel like I do understand the sociology and psychology behind these feelings. I think we have a combination of recency bias (it's snowed a lot to the relative norm over the past 27 years), along with the psychology of 20 degree mornings and 40 degree days in January with clouds and sun while no precipitation means a torch. It doesn't. It's just dry, and we often forget that winter is not just about snow, though that's what our tactile and visionary sense tells us. It's also a good reminder of two other things: 1. Drought is usually the most underreported/unfelt weather phenomenon when it begins, since it's a slow burn (though we're just in a dry spell); 2. With so many forecasting tools available to us now, we anticipate things that often never materialize, and are thusly disappointed. (The big storm is always just ten days away!)
