Wut a disaster of a season when the discussion is about growing vegetables and snowfall 3000 miles away…..for Christ sakes….SNE balls shriveled to raisins

Very jealous. Even the lowest parts of the city of Reno and Sparks got about 4 inches in the ground. That isn’t a whole lot for them and Reno can get more snow by far but this specific pattern hasn’t been a record setter for Reno due to periodic higher snow levels causing the city to get rain.

Reno gets shadowed something fierce…..if I lived in Reno I’d hate it cuz I’d know Truckee and Donner Summit we’re getting smoked while I’m looking at shredded shit…..not unlike around here lately…..SNE sucks

I was curious when I saw this because I didn’t actually know the annual snowfall for Truckee, but everything I’m seeing shows numbers in the 120”-200” range (perhaps the range is due to observations at different elevations).  Unless you’re specifically talking about cities with a certain population, or those that have a first order station or something (but you mentioned Mt. Washington), that’s pretty low.  A 200” total wouldn’t even be considered mid-tier annual snowfall at the local ski resorts around here, it would be low to mid-tier at best.  Some of the resorts out there like Kirkwood get up into the 400-500” range for annual snowfall, but not Truckee itself as far as I can see from the data.

I think its the first thing you said......Truckee sits on the east side of Donner summit and gets shadowed to some extent.......and I think the weather station is at the airport which is on the east side of town......wiki says its the fifth snowiest cityin the US based on and average 204 inches per year but IDK what they are calling a "city"........the real high totals are obviously in the nearby resorts - check out Soda Springs lol........

So like at what point last night did my age get advanced 43 years…..lol

Folks just need to understand that there is a seasonal lag, so on average you don't get the harshest winter weather during the solstice in the mid latitudes.

Oh boy if you do though…..and that’s my measure of a winter…..don’t be ordinary old man…..be amazing

So we have til January 14th, and then you’re checking out?  Thank god… lol. 

 

Still a huge chunk of winter left even after 3 weeks go by Ice. 
 

Relax, pour another shot…this will soon be  a distant tantrum, as you soon shovel big snow off your property. 

Please be right…..

Well the mood is 24 hrs old, so chill the hell out. So we didn’t convert our first possession, and have to punt. But there’s 14:30 seconds to go in the first quarter. Should we all give up and walk off the field after 30 seconds?  The mood can change in a literal flash.  If it were March 1st, I’d absolutely agree with you. But it’s 12/22. 

I’ll give it another 3 weeks…..but that’s it

Better than a ratter

Some would say that is still a ratter…..like winter doesn’t just get to excuse itself for 8 weeks and then everything is cool if it’s amazing the final 4 weeks…..that’s lame

I’m just messing with you. It was really funny when I first read it. 

I think four weeks of epic can go a long way to making a season. It can certainly bring back a season on the brink, as we’ve seen in recent years.

Don’t get me wrong I do love good storms on their own but over the years have grown a big fan of the more elusive wire to wire pack- the more the better…..still trying to break the all time depth of 30” in late Jan 2011…..it was just so amazing

3 minutes ago, WinterWolf said:

Well that’s not even really true either. Cuz 2015 sucked until January 27th, and then it went absolutely bazurk.  So you’re wrong again. 

I don’t recall 2015 being all that amazing here….it wasn’t 2011 bazurk that’s for sure….

Six weeks of winter remaining the day after winter began.

Can’t make it up  

You’re not seeing what I’m saying…..if you go 8 of 12 weeks with garbage winter and then follow with 4 weeks of epic how can you tout that as amazing…..the mood of winter matters

This is just Perrrfect. I can’t stop rolling 

Yes it really is……still loling

I think we all feel that way..but December/the start can be like this.  And winter is a mere 24 hrs old…let’s take a breath and pump the brakes a tad Ice.  I mean we’ve had many many slow starts before..some redeem, and some just don’t?  
 

I’m with Ray, I don’t see this season being a rat. But who knows, maybe it does. 

We’ll see…..here’s my litmus test…..if shit turns around ala 2010-11 where I was so pissed off about Boxing Day lol but then the epic january happened then fine…..good on winter…..if we’re at mid January and we’re still running on empty then it’s a rat…..you can’t recover from that…..like a big event is cool and all but the season mood is shot….that matters

Ya, he’s shot.  This game/winter is in the first 30 seconds of the first quarter, and he’s saying the game/winter is almost over lmao. I give up. Let the crazies take over the forum. Holy smokes. 

You guys love me lol

Yes…..the mood of the season means more overall in the end……like if we had garbage through mid Feb and then had a couple of foot plus deals to end Feb and start Morch you can’t feel good about that…..you’d be hung up on how you missed out on an epic season had shit aligned better and you got that pack going earlier……I need to move…SNE sucks

Just now, 40/70 Benchmark said:

Riddle me this....Phineas gets suspended, but we never have reprieve from this dude's dribble....show the planet where that logic is applied.

I don’t muck it up in here like I used to though….I just can’t stand how annoying the opening to winter has been lately…..it’s a bit of a problem 

1 minute ago, 40/70 Benchmark said:

6 weeks takes us to the climo peak of the snowfall season, early Feb....there's like another 5-6 weeks left for snowfall beyond that.

Giddy up

Like who cares about pack in Morch anyway….what you need is a nice lasting seasonal pack of 6-18 through mid February or so and then the late season shit means something…..if not I don’t GAF about snow that’s just gonna be obliterated by Morch sun angle or some dumb early season Bermuda asshat high pumping dirty on us

2 minutes ago, WinterWolf said:

Yup exactly 12 weeks left, and there’s 12 weeks in winter, no matter which way you slice sit. So there’s 100% of winter left to go

lmao…you need another shot bro. 

Lol no…..snow in Morch? Please

There is plenty of time for the season...I'm speaking of December.

This month is over AFAIC.

There’s not…..there’s like 6 weeks left ATM……to have legs this season will need to giddy up inside 10-14 days…..lol…..giddy up

Just insult to injury....what an absolutely, positively abomination of a month. Add this one to the rusted out coat hanger Hall of Fame.

You’re supposed to act like there’s all this time to have a great one….well great this….there’s only weeks left….
