  1. 1F this morning but zero wind and it looks like a nice sunny day on tap. Wouldn't be surprised to see 30F this afternoon. I gotta leave the tent to take care of some business but am not really looking forward to it. Also need to cut some more firewood, we plowed through the pile I had last night.
  2. No but we have been pretty cold. Tent is up and stove is going...says 6F outside now. Feels a lot nicer than last time and the wind isn't as bad. Still pretty gusty though.
  3. 6F with a -15F wind chill on Meadow Mountain. Leaving to go camping this weekend in about 1hr! Snow showers on the game cam but only a few inches on the ground. But Sunday it's supposed to be sunny and in the 40s, I'll probably be walking around camp with no shirt on.
  4. I think the the next super nino will finally see the end of Joe. He won't be able to stomach the increase in world temps. I'm not sure he's yet to recover from the last super nino.
  5. Things were looking so good for us up until about 1800.
  6. Nah we're going camping on meadow mountain this weekend so I should get my snow hit. I told my wife this weekend that if she decides to divorce me at some point I'm going to move to Alta, Utah and that she better plan on paying me alimony for that.
  7. We need a thread to quantify how bad this winter is. Sure we've relegated ourselves to getting zero snow, but what makes it the worst beyond that? A warm spring like 2012 might be seen as a good thing once weve given up the chances of snow. So is it 40deg and clouds/rain that makes it the worst ever? No snow and 70deg days aren't so bad. But no snow and 50deg cloudy days make me want to jump off the Annapolis bridge.
  8. The last vestiges of our sanity. You'll track it too, don't kid yourself.
  9. We could just use a code name for CC. Instead of climate change we could say Climate Differential, or Climate Rate of Change. Or maybe just Carbon Copy as a fill-in for CC.
  10. It's almost true! Unfortunately I think I know how this story ends and it's not with snow angels or frosty type snowmen.
  11. My house is jacked with 1.1". So sad that I'm actually jumping for joy at the possibility of 1" of snow.
  12. If you cut your grass short enough even 1/4" of snow can seem like a lot.
  13. Gawd I would love it if we get 2-3" of snow and DC gets nothing. Sorry, not sorry.
  14. At least we aren't in this alone. CLIMATE CHANGE warnings aside, this does appear to be one of those crazy shitty winters that hopefully is one for the record books. https://www.wsj.com/articles/where-is-the-snow-new-york-city-shatters-50-year-record-for-snowless-winter-11674933503
  15. It's worse than that. We're in this stupid middle period where it's too warm to snow but still too cold to enjoy the benefits of a proper subtropical climate. If this is it then fuck it, give me SE gulf coast weather with year round green live oaks, anoles and pythons. I want to see zebra longwings flying around. Instead we get the rare subfreezing lows that are just enough to spoil the party along with shitty 40 degree days.
  16. FFS, South Carolina gets more snow than us this winter.
  17. "Episode V, the GFS strikes back. Stories of futility and despair in the Mid-Atlantic"
  18. It seems a possible good compromise is being able to discuss a warming world (the fact that it's warming really isn't in question and there's empirical date that shows it) and what it's impacts are on our weather. What could be banned would be the whole "humans are causing it" debate which seems to be where politics comes in and things go off the rails. But I'm not a mod so it's easy for me to say since I don't do any administrative work on the forum. Maybe it would end up a disaster.
