was outside earlier with just a sweatshirt. got the fire pit going as the temp dropped to 40ish. got a little chilly but the pine firewood warmed it up a bit. After multiple beers it was time to wrap it up and come back inside
while i am inclined to generally agree, as with all things there are outliers. I can disprove "always"-twice in the last 12 years
Dec 2014 i had 6". ended up with over 100"
Dec 2010 i had 9", ended up with over 90"
no sweat man. I was just giving you shit. i just thought your post was oddly worded, but after reading it and your response, I get the gist of what you were saying. if I read it right, what you mean is that you expect the remainder of this season to be play out similar to 2010-2011, with less snow.
damn, you beat me to my edit. 2010-2011 took a while to get rolling up here, not much until 1/12. but ended up decently AN (90". BUT, again up here, take away 20-30", and you get 60-70", which is a 10" BN to 10" AN
yes I know you have been detailed in your outlook, i have read it.
last time i had this little snow (7") through the end of December:
2021-2022 8.5", season ended up solidly BN
2015-2016 4.5", season ended up a complete R.A.T.
2011-2012 5", another R.A.T
2010-2011 10", season ended up being decent, kicked off with a good storm on 1/12
in the immortal words of Meatloaf, 3 out of 4 ain't good
isn't there a better way of saying that? 2010-2011 minus 20-30" is a BN winter in most areas. so rather than compare it to 2010-2011, which is what you did, compare it to a BN season like, I don't know, 2021-2022?
yeah I am sure you could really tell the difference between the 21st and 26th:
Dec 21: 1.71 degrees
Dec 26: 2.10 degrees
That extra 0.39 degrees I am sure makes a big difference

for reference, the sun angle on June 26 is 35.24 degrees
no offense, but please don’t respond to that troll. He/she offers nothing of value and always seeks to be the contrarian. the ignore function is a wonderful thing
it was nuts. my house was shaking-and I am in a relatively protected spot. multiple trees down on my street, and i couldn't even go anywhere even if i wanted to. no power for 3 or 4 days.
