    According to this, if we extrapolate his ideas & factor in our CTP interior location that can help us, we should get 15-20 more inches of snow by early April.

    That would turn a disaster Winter into slightly respectable season if we ended that strong.

    One warning event=success imo

    Don't worry we'll get a foot of snow on March 28 to make the average look like it was a fair winter. 

    Tbh that would be awesome, and it would cause fun amounts of chaos likely. I get more depressed about snow in January when it’s like 7 out and it’s gonna hang around forever and get grey and ugly.

    Great points & insight in your post.

    This time of year my feathers get ruffled if we are having a bad snow year. The talk of record heat & torches just get me in a bad mood when I think of the Winter weather that we could be enjoying if the pattern was different.

    I have recently embraced enjoying the other seasons over the the last few years. Since getting my home weather station last year, I have enjoyed tracking temperatures, dew points, & precipitation totals.

    I will try to embrace non-snow weather in the Winter, but it will not be easy. Hopefully we will be tracking a legit Winter storm soon.

    Im on your team buddy, warning event before end of winter.

    Sorry to derail the thread, but I need to talk candidly, and this is the one social media outlet where my wife can't see what I say...

    It's looking more and more like I'm going to be going through the Big D, and not Dallas.

    Despite my mom's need for assistance with daily life, my wife will NOT consider moving out here to Arizona, and has said there's no use in continuing the marriage. Now, some could say I should move my mom back to PA, but it just doesn't seem feasible.

    First, I don't know if she could handle the stress of such a big endeavor in her rather fragile state. She has severe COPD, and in the past was brought back from death during a cardiac arrest. We'd have to sell this house and our house in PA, and try to find a ranch home somewhere. With that in mind, my mom&dad took out a reverse mortgage years ago, so we'd get only 50% of the sale of the AZ home. 

    Out of that, there's moving costs, multiple air trips to relocate cars, and probably a short term nursing home until everything was finalized. It would probably take all of us broke doing that.

    Really, it's best for my mom to stay here where her doctors all know her condition and her medical needs.

    There's much more, including weather, where the cold impedes her breathing capability. Her lungs work at 20% and as such is on 24/7 oxygen. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. She'd struggle mightily back there.

    On top of that, and the real reason I'm out in AZ, is her macular degeneration. In the photo, she is at stage D, so I am her eyes, her transportation, and her cook and housecleaner.

    There is no way I can stick her in a nursing home, go back to PA, and basically abandon her out here. How do you do that and say, "ok mom, here you go. Have a nice life..."? I can't do that.

    So, I guess I needed to vent a bit, and see what you guys think. Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I the evil ogre my wife is trying to make me out to be? 

    If anyone cares to respond, please DM me so we don't clutter up the thread over my dilemma. 

     

     

    I’m sorry voyager.... you are a good guy and I hate you’re in this situation...cannot be easy, but you’re doing right thing.
