WinterWxLuvr

12-13 was good for me, here. The DC crowd fondly remembers the March storm of 13.

Maybe it’ll be as cold as June, July and this violent August.

Violent

Been saying -PNA since before the dinosaur demise

It better pick up soon lol

Since we put up watches for everything?

On pace here for about an 18” month of August. Local agricultural staples of apples, corn, soybeans, hay set to be replaced next year with rice.

Lol, I’m into an outside project right now. Wouldn’t care if it didn’t rain for a month. And it’s as green as Ireland right now

It can rain. Again

That’s not what it says. Map reading must be a difficult endeavor.

Good

Only? Lol

The violence in these August temps being modeled is scary.

Yeah just looking at my forecast makes me so excited.

It cannot not rain here.

Yikes

Yay it’s pouring again

That should get things started

Sure do wish we could get some rain out here in Frederick County. So dry it looks like Ireland in spring. In July no less. Whoever heard of such a thing lol

I grew up very close to this area. There was an event just like it in the mid 70’s. I don’t think events like this are becoming more frequent. I think you just hear about them more easily. There was no Weather Channel, CNN, etc just a short while ago. Extreme weather still happened, most just never heard about it.

Yes it is hard to predict. Yes, especially two years ago, the naysayers have been wrong, to a lesser extent last year. Terrible winters are winters like 11-12, 15-16 ( yeah it had a big snow but was a three day winter) 19-20. You have said a million times how bad the past few winters have been, but that’s only true for a small section of the forum. For some, the past 5 have ranged from awful (19-20) to pretty good (18-19, 20-21). You want to lay everything at the feet of enso conditions but snowfall, perhaps not so much temperatures, is far more complex and in lots of cases comes down to blind luck. The past two winter threads have been pretty much nothing but pessimism and whining. Some of us like to think positively even in the face of uphill challenges. The only reason that I read this thread is to see who is packing to negativity this year. But that’s not a good enough reason and I think I’ll show myself to the door. Y’all continue with the doom and gloom and I’ll go bide my time awaiting whatever happens.

Very mediocre. Basically a one month winter, but here we had good snows in both March and April. We have had much much worse. The year before was a good winter everywhere west of the Blue Ridge. Both winter threads were nothing but doom and gloom going in. Usually the same posters. I could name names but won’t. I would grade the past two winters as a B and a C-. The two threads were both F-

As usual, it’s over. Always is. Go back and read the past two winter threads about this time of year.

Perfect kind. You don’t have to mow. Turns green in September

I’ll go with upper 80’s to low 90’s and rain chances every single day. You heard it here first folks.
