  1. Holy sh-t. Just had some of the strongest wind gusts I’ve experienced since we moved 4.5 years ago. Had to be above 50mph, maybe pushing 60-70. Just intense roar. Moved the basketball hoop that’s weighed down with a couple hundred pounds of sand. Completely came out of nowhere.

    So sick of all this talk about this snowless February being some stunning occurrence and signs that things have changed. 

    At BWI, they have recorded 33 February's with less than an inch of total snow since records have been kept. Spread out all over the years. Including the most depressing period from 1949-1953 with 4 consecutive February's with less than an inch. 

    Yes, it sucks, but it's part of the game in this region. It's not strange or unusual. 

    Eh...in isolation that’s probably fair. But look at the frequency of sub 10” snowfall winters in Baltimore over the ~140 years of records. They were pretty rare up until the 80s with only a handful ever. WAY more common since. Of course we’ve also had lots of boom years in comparison. But things have certainly changed in the last 30-40 years.
