I understand this but most people do not. And I understand their point of view as well. If you told the average person we had three events so far this winter they would think you're sniffing glue or huffing paint...
You have to remember the majority people are not snow weenies like us. We do not see 2-4/3-6 stuff that often anymore. We are dorks and calculate 0.4" snow falls and add them all up. Most people write that off as it didn't snow or not an actual snow storm. Those people are correct. And if it doesn't stick the road and inconvenience them they write that off as nothing as well where you will calculate that into our annual snowfall. Winters were definitely better years ago...
So, do
So, do we recognize this as our 3rd event?
I'm sure ChescoWx already updated his spreadsheets and uploaded backups to 3 different servers...
Overcast, low clouds/25F
The Steve D character always had JB-ish type write ups. He always saw something in the weather pattern that the other METs were missing.
And yeah, I forgot about Ruggie weather.
Tiniest of flakes falling. I didn't know if I was hallucinating or if it was real? Held out my black glove and a flake the size of half an ant fell onto it. A special moment indeed...
25F
We all know this but his premise is true. We get smacked in the face more times than not but we still go back for it. If retired, it would probably be a much more enjoyable hobby. You don't have a time schedule. Anything goes. But if you are working and like sports and weather your brain is running 24/7 trying to keep up. Plus everyday crap....
I wouldn't mind a parade of clippers which we haven't seen in years it seems. They tend to overperform or at least give you a solid inch or two.....nickel and dime ourselves to death.
