    I lost power for 10 days in 2011 and I would do anything for a event like that again.. trees going down and constant shotgun blast.. neighborhood looked like a bomb went off it was awesome!! I was glad to be in the valley for that storm 

    I lost it for 7 and wouldn't mind as much if it happens again since I have a wood stove and generator, but it wasn't so much fun back then.

    99 times out of 100...yeah I don't think so man. I've lived here for 31 out of 33 years so no, I'm not new. I started following weather in 2000-01 and since then we've had appreciable snow prior to Christmas at least 7 or 8 times. Granted most of those were in the 2000s ('02, '03, '05, '07, '08 and '09) but yeah, you're exaggerating big time. It hasn't happened much recently.

    07 wiped out a good pack on Christmas Eve in short order.

    TBH, I won't mind it ending up all wet, as I know its only going be a nuisance and I don't need another hour stacked onto my already arduous commute. Not enough to take the day off-

    I know how you feel, my job is much easier without snow but I love snow, 2015 was hard inspecting houses, needed snowshoes, it was so epic I loved it regardless if I had to work harder.

    Yeah totally same thing. Snow maps for this area are almost always incorrect . It makes it even more difficult in micro elevation events where like every 100 feet makes a difference 

    I'd feel better about your spot especially after seeing the latest HRR than where I am, you're just high enough and west enough to get the goods.

    in my opinion a trace is any amount that can stay on any surface for some time, a dusting is a trace on most surfaces but can still see what is underneath, a coating is any that completely covers everything but is less than a half inch... that said wish I was home to see it, down in chilly South Florida for a few days, traveling back Thursday, be home Saturday latest, just in time for the warm up. nice winter vibes from the pics.

    I got s coating then, roads are slippery, at 27 right now.

    Drugs must be involved. There used to be a guy in the neighborhood I grew up in that ran through town naked, he was in good shape and fast and at one time held the world record for pushups. He used to run to the shopping plaza and put his ass up against the big windows at the stores. No drugs, just mentally ill.
