I'll meet you in the banter thread on Thursday when we can talk about the ways we got screwed on this one too. Warm air, dry slot, miss south, miss north...
It's a F for me. It's obvious the snow situation has been a complete bust and the cold was meh. It was not as cold or had staying power as advertised. The GFS has no phantom storms to even give any false hope. If there is anything good I can find, it would be the west coast getting some drought relief.
I'm not even sure what to rant about at this time. The whole idea of winter anymore seems foreign these days after several years of miserable performance.
I had a friend who asked if I could drive her into town today. I obliged. The wind and temperature were wicked. We saw a lot of mini drifting and some whiteout conditions. I explained everyone dodged a huge bullet low snow totals. Of course she sensed my disappointment with this storm but was thankful it didn't materialized.
I had low expectations for snow totals but it has managed to even miss that. I’m just tired of it all. Life is hard and the weather disappointments just add to it. I hope we torch next weekend. .
