This is why the Ohio thread is dead. I mean seriously, why f'ing bother.

Sorry but the MA forum has already claimed that storm

This beats his infamous excuse, "I nailed it at 5h" Basically this one is, if it wasn't for the warmth, it would have been cold

I was out this evening and it was 37 and raining on January 30. I thought the same thing, this might be the worst winter I remember. Even worse than the infamous 97-98 and 2011-2012, at least those had something to remember them by....granted 2011-12 was record warmth. This winter has just been agonizingly BORING. We had one week of cold weather that resulted in a couple of car toppers and I don't think my grass was ever completely covered. It doesn't help when pretty much every met, (except for a couple of our mets in this forum), kept a weenie on a stick for us since Nov. Looks like currently the can is sitting at mid February.....anyone wanna bet it gets kicked to the beginning of March? I did not get my usual wxbell subscription this winter but I do follow JB on twitter....I follow him because the comments mocking him are hilarious and well deserved. Call it climate change, climate cycling, whatever you want but clearly we are experiencing something strange in the weather. The headscratcher is that although the winters have been so warm and boring, we haven't had the same kind warmth increase in the summer. Extremes on the warm side for summer are as rare as extremes on the cold side for winter. It's like we've become a maritime climate. buzzed rant over

Yep, just got a hot tip from my broker, Bastardi says BUY BUY BUY!

why pronouns matter

A track from Louisiana to central WV in the heart of the coldest part of winter.

big lake effect in northern Indiana... ...reminds me, I wonder what Hoosierphile has been up to

Yea about the same in Westerville. The last few years our climo has been like Nashville without the ice storms.

I also thought Indy was our sister city in winter futility.

Subscriber numbers among weenies must be way down. Don’t know why else he would use an 850 Celsius temp map to hype cold. Pathetic

Let me guess... ...delayed but not denied

I see what you did there Gotta enjoy the next 2 days with some snow around…might be our whole winter.

/\ the Rip Van Winkle of weather

yep. I have a feeling this coming 'cold shot', (which isn't anything other than a typical severe cold shot we get every winter), will be all she wrote. I'm not buying the rock'n FEB bs. This is why I've slowly de-coupled myself from the winter wx aspect of this hobby the last few years. Sure, I still love severe wx events, but I'm thinking of changing to a new hobby, one that has a better chance of scoring than a central Ohio snowstorm. Gonna join the local Big Foot spotters club.

It's incredible, the second one might go ever further NW! BTW, I admire you guys, we're only on page 2 of our winter thread while you guys have about 350 pages in medium to long range threads starting at the end of OCT. Almost every LR ensemble, and euro weekly that comes out has been analyzed as 'drool worthy'. How's that been working out for ya?

So we couldn't buy a sub 980 low tracking through our sub the last several winters.....now the 18z gfs has TWO sub 980 lows not only tracking through the region but taking an almost identical track 72 hrs apart. ok I guess anything is possible and the most believable part of it is that CMH is on the warm side of both. Actually I still think the weekend storm isn't set in stone yet.... but I've been wrong before.

GFS wants to take 3 storms almost the same path just over us or slightly west of us, doubt that happens. I think the only sure bet is Tuesday is a rainer. I'm not sold that the follow up storm for next weekend is nw of us. Lots of spread on the ensembles with some pretty far southeast. It's all about spacing and interaction with the northern stream....those won't be ironed out until the Tuesday storm plays out. All that said, this is probably the best opportunity for sig snow coming up that we've seen in awhile even though it'll probably be tainted.

I think if you're going to be completely honest, you have to admit that if his schtick was cold bias vs. warm bias, (ie Jebman), and all other things were identical with his posting style, he would not have been banned.

A snow removable business in Columbus Ohio is a huge gamble. In the UP of Michigan it shouldn't be.

Tons of talk about an SSWE... ...never a good sign

is there any similarities to 97-98? Fast flow and cut off lows, an early January brief cold spell followed by seasonable boring weather and an eventual crazy cutoff low that snowed in the south and rained in the north.

I can’t put my finger on it but there’s something very believable about this…

Good to see others crossing over to the 'gray' side. I'll always love extreme weather, especially winter storms, but as I get older I have more and more disdain for the cold.
