I often think about my regrets from 09/10. I was in 10th grade. I definitely enjoyed it. The time off school was a thrill. I got no pictures or videos of my own. Nor did I write any journal entries about winter weather events like I do now. Obviously I can go and watch other people's videos from that winter, but it's just not the same as having your own personal memories captured. I also just didn't cherish that winter the way I would now. It haunts me, knowing it's very likely we will never experience something like that again.

Shh. It's climate change panic today!

If 4 of the top 10 warmest days weren't in 1975 and earlier I'd be more unsettled. Otherwise I'm just chalking it up to one warm January day

Just saw a wasp. I'm calling it lol

I love all the new technology today, but there's part of me that's disappointed I'll likely never experience anything like this. 15-20" in a completely surprise blizzard.

Maybe that's the reason I keep feeling horrible about the remarks that late February is our best time to cash in this winter. I'm near BWI, getting big snows in late February FEELS like it just doesn't happen.

Agreed. It's kind of making me cringe when I see them saying our chances for a big one aren't until then. I can trust mid-Feb, but getting into that last week of February...

I haven't seen anyone acting like last week "makes up for" our awful run of winters. I've seen people who love winter and gotten out and enjoyed a wintry scene while it was around. I'm very annoyed by the past 8 years. It's pretty much daily that I think about the fact that its been 8 years since my last 6+ inch snowfall. I'm annoyed that we're going to punt the last week or January and likely the first week of February. I'm unhappy that there's really only been 1 week that's felt like winter so far. You're absolutely not alone in that. I still didn't let all those very real negative feelings stop me from enjoying last week. I took lots of great pictures and ventured out to enjoy it. I spent many moments glancing out the window at the snow covered scenery, just taking it in. None of that takes away the winter frustrations overall, but it provides joy and positive memories from being in the moment. I think most, if not all, from this forum who shared their joy from the past week feel very similarly. Being joyful in the moment doesn't at all mean that the overall landscape still isn't good. You still have to stop and enjoy the little things because if you don't, you'll just become bitter and frustrated 24/7, no matter what.

It's happening

I just love this field. We can't figure out exactly what will happen 2-3 days away, but we certainly know what's coming 2-3 weeks away.

If all you ever do is worry about the future, you'll never enjoy the present. Live in the moment. Create memories you can fondly look back on

A delightful wintry week! Snow sticks around for a few more days, then we deal with whatever comes next. Soak this week in, it's been wonderful!

100% with you. This week has been a delight. Snow covering everything for a week and lots of cold. Snow on Snow.

I'm hopeful there will still be snow on the ground when it arrives so a fresh 2-4 LOOKS like a bit more haha

Idk when the Georgetown jokes will get old, but it certainly isn't today

Any official reports from the airports?

Ended up with 4.5 around Parkville. Curious to find out what the BWI official measurement is.

Is the rippage anywhere near Baltimore City?

Checks out

It will. Winter will take a break next week and then come running back onto the field

I'm loving this event, but I'm really hoping this is accurate when it applies to the first half of February! Let this be the beginning!

Thanks for the advice for the pics! Parkville, Baltimore County.

Side note, how do you guys attach your pics in here. I've tried and every pic I took with my phone today it's saying are too large to attach. Just normal phone camera

Beggars can't be choosers. I'm glad we should finally have a wintry week. Snow showers today. Possible light, steady snow Monday night/Tuesday(maybe first inch in years), another possible threat Friday. Very cold all week. It does look like it gets mild the following week, I'm not sure how long that's expected to last, but I'll enjoy whatever presents itself this week.

How many more "Onto the next one" do we have in us before April arrives?
