You'll know this years long snow drought will end when you get a decent storm in Dec. That's pretty reliable. Yes you can get storms in other types of winters ( Feb 2006, Jan 2016 ) but a winter like this one almost never produces if it hasn't by now. You can get some events in March, late Feb that are gone as fast as they fall, and be happy with them. I don't see it this year, because it always finds a way not to produce.

or have the dogs track mud all over the house.....

i'm 61 and yes this is true. I worry much more about the ice, I am much less steady on my feet, and it hurts a lot more when I fall, and it takes a lot longer to recover.

And in the emergency room.....

He should take up landscaping.

Many people would put "bad luck" in that spot....most people hate the snow. I come here because these are the only people that complain about lack of snow.

And cockroaches.

Not when the data is overwhelming.

About 4 inches.

Well I'm no big fan of pesticides, but we would have some massive crop failures without them. But you don't have to use chemical pesticides; there are alternatives. Have been for years. Could they be used on an industrial scale? My daughter, who is an entomologist, says it depends. Cockroaches were ubiquitous in NYC until Combat came out. They never developed resistance to it. So what are they doing now? Developing an aversion to sweet tastes....roaches are coming back.....

In the "great" March of 2018. my area only had one storm that delivered the goods; one was white rain, the next barely cracked 3 inches of slush, and the las tone finally, after like a whole day of waiting, delivered around 8 inches. March might have snows, but they are always a swan song....

The thing about science is that it is true whether you "subscribe" to it or not.

Well, this weather has been tiresome, so you're gonna see that.....as I sit here on yet another steel gray, dreary day. Must be good for vampires.....

Jan 87? Seemed like at least 10, but that was CNJ. But yeah, 6-8 inches was a big storm. 78 was like 17 inches and it seemed like the apocalypse. I was 15 and the snow was up to my waste. That was the only snow days I would see throughout HS.

Pretty hard to get excited after two years of this, and if you live by me, really 3 years because 2022 was only marginally better.

I'd take a bet they will be wrong. Maybe it gets a little seasonable. Don't gas up the snowblowers just yet.

One of the great character actors of our time, Stephen Tobolowsky was a talented baseball player who suffered a serious illness as a child ending his hopes. He also played in a band when young with Stevie Ray Vaughn. A true genius, you have seen him in Memento and Groundhog Day and many others. he has also collaborated with David Byrne. He is an author and director as well.

I remember it. Heavy wet snow. A few inches. Didn't last long. But it was snow. Think it was a Saturday?
-
I just remember 2007 La Nina being one deluge after another and maybe two sleet events in Feb. Sucked. It has sucked for a couple years now, though. Hope we can at least get a sleetfest going one more time before spring.

I'm a poodle guy myself. Don't laugh; they are the smartest dogs out there and you will forget you are dealing with a dog, that's how uncanny they are. "Poodle" means puddle in German; they were bred to retrieve birds from water, hence the funky haircuts. Neighbor had two magnificent long hair German Shephards, they were always getting out and drinking from my koi ( well now just goldfish; got tired of feeding the herons expensive fish ) pond. They'd knock you down and lick you to death.

I'm no scientist but my experience of 61 years is that if you have not had a good event by mid-Feb, you ain't gonna get one. Actually, mid-Dec really....there are notable exceptions and that is what we can hope for. If not, I break out the fishing gear.

People will think its just great. Trust me. I'd say they'd break out the shorts, but if you have noticed, many young men wear shorts all year now. There was this whole article on it, with teachers saying they all know a couple of these kids....accompanied by a picture of a young man shoveling snow, in shorts.....later that day my daughter's boyfriend showed up...in shorts. This is recently. I have an entire arsenal of boots, lined pants, socks, waterproof and insulated shoes etc. Despite all that and slathering a bottle of moisturizer twice a day on my skin, I go to bed itching all winter. So some warmth will help my suffering I guess.

So do we challenge for 80 in Feb? What the hell ever happened to winter....
-
And then the 2006 Feb KU and really, we did not see much for a few years after. 2007 was lean, a couple events in 08 and 09, so it is not unusual, even in a snowy decade, to see lean years. Maybe not as lean as 2020, 23, and so far 24...but lean.

Lyme damages the brain and cases often go undiagnosed. It can cause dementia; Kris Kristofferson was diagnosed with dementia and it turned out to be Lyme after a long investigation; not sure how reversible that is, especially in the elderly. Some of the sunscreens cause issues as well, but melanoma is worse. Risk benefit....if you can avoid the ticks great, but that is getting hard to do. My dogs bring them in and I get them in the park right in the concrete jungle. I mean the microfibers in our clothes are also suspect, especially anything water repellent. It's pretty hard to avoid toxins, many of us have PFAS in our drinking water. You can use bottled but who knows what's in it right? And I'm not even going to get into air particulates and microplastics....
