January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread
UnitedWx replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
I'd love to have a poll, or chart of everyone's age that participates in the forum discussion here. I'm pretty sure it would tell us a lot about what people expect regarding snowy VS non snowy winters. Sure CC likely has some effect, but so do average cycles. The "it's never going to be like it was" is SO overplayed... likely by youngsters -

Kind of like here in Westfield with the secondary and tertiary roads. It's not unwritten however, they tell people flat out if you want to help keep your taxes down we maintain the side roads like it's the 70s. Love it! -
Sure do! My first sled was a 1976 MotoSki Nuvik. It had .975 inches of rear suspension travel... well close, but it sure felt like it. I still feel it

I get that some are irritated, but we need to roll with it like always. We have NO idea what is really going to happen and that's part of the fun. Look at what models showed a few days back huge blocking etc. They recalculated like a crappy Garmin GPS and will again. Into what... stay tuned LOL. Wasn't it somewhere around 2015 where we didn't have any sign of winter until near mid January and then we were off to the races -

Agreed 100 percent. And while we have it where we have it, lets enjoy the wintry appeal that we have in many of our viewing areas right now. There's been more white ground here so far than like the last 8 years -

It could be, but those living by the operationals and quoting output two weeks out are just asking for disappointment one way or the other. Of course there's the one on here who only shows up to twist the knife about the warmth... -

Before this place became the new EFFyouweather forums, you (and a couple others) would have been 5 posted or more. WTF happened to that anyway?? -

Then I guess I will Maybe not "great" but far better than any recently. I never expect December to produce, so that's a big plus... for me. 9 degrees this a.m. I didn't clear the driveway either... too lazy after a 2 a.m. new years eve -

I have that to go along with my tree. The Evergleam company called it the Sata-Lite. I'm not a huge fan of the color wheel but keep it for the Vintage aspect. What looks amazing is shooting an LED spotlight up through the base of the tree along the center of the trunk. It reflects through the aluminum and it almost looks like snowfall on the ceiling
