Hardcore back-loaded winter? Maybe, but I'm not feeling it right now. It seems to me that you'd need some real cold somewhere to be able to generate enough to do us any good down here and there isn't much to draw from and build on.
-
I've been saying pretty much the same thing about the PNW for decades. Constant rainforest type wetness is miserable but we get more rainfall annually than they do particularly here in the reservoir zone 45 miles from the Sound. For the last 7 months it's been equally as soggy plus we've had the torrential rains that they rarely get adding another ~25" of total precip making it doubly unpleasant. We also use an inordinate amount of road salt which ruins our cars...

I haven't looked it up but I have a feeling that the 70+ inches of rain I've had since June is wetter than the average annual anywhere in Ireland.
-
It's been 6 straight months of shit weather.
-
I dunno about crushed but it was the only storm that gave me more than 6" last year, I think I got 9". blah
-
Temp popped above 32 and the fog formed. At 33 now and the vis is dropping fast. I hate when I can see the melted snow hanging in the air...
-
It flaked lightly for a while here too.
-
Yeah really, no rain until May please.
-
Here too. At least I've had mixed frozen pellets but at 38-40° it might as well be just rain.
-
Quite the range of temps here this morning. It's 15 up here and as low as 6 at a low spot a few miles away. Average looks to be about 12 with KDXR 12 miles away at 9°.

Back into the 1700s there are pretty detailed notes available from many E Coast cities and many agricultural areas too. Someone will post something and I end up going down a two hour rabbit hole but never remember to bookmark the sites
-
Looks like it's 15° up here on the hill now, got down to 8° early this morning. The town highway dept garage a mile away and 250 feet lower only got down to 10 but is 13.5 now.
-
Winter is over
-
Sounds right. The old memory banks aren't so efficient anymore
-
Temp is up .3° from the low, it's 13.6 now.
-
We had 2 storms a few days (weeks?) apart, one was 14" and one was 17" in Oceanside. That's the winter that cemented my weather weenie status.
-
If I slant-stick it I'm at 8" for the season!
-
7 1/2 for the season. Woohoo
-
Looks like the last of the tiny flakes are fading away. That was a nice wintry-look day and considering it snowed all day and never went above 25* the roads were in surprisingly good shape.
-
Nope. 9/11 happened 3 days after I got my big winter order and then people here stopped shopping for a while and then it didn't snow. That hurt pretty badly and I never got past it. Finally bailed out spring 05. Of course then it really started snowing for the next 10 years
-
Of course I opened a ski shop late '97 and struggled with it through 04. I was right down the street from Thunder Ridge and it only snowed a few times the first few years which made it a little difficult.
-
Yep, this one's about done here too. 2" is .5 more than I thought I'd get so that's cool. It snowed nicely for a while, small flakes but it was coming down, and it's on snow so it added up.
-
Dude, you could use space lasers to saw off the Ross ice shelf then tow it to the west Pacific. As it melts it'll cool the water!
-
I'll take my half inch and be happy (no, not really). At least it'll help keep the surface white for another day or two.
-
Yeah I saw that but my confidence level is kind of low at this point. It would be nice if this week's snow was still on the ground and gets some more added to it before the end of the week wetness.
