Clearly you missed the joke. I've been watching the boards for 17 or 18 years and everyone knows day 8 stuff is a fools errand but when the threats start to work out life here will get exponentially better.
I read this thread hoping to see someone post actual weather related content regarding a forecast for this upcoming season.
And then Tip posts and I go back to realizing I'm better off reading about winters past...
Yeah it's a bit of misnomer to say the "80's sucked" for winter weather. The truth is the winter sucked for about 13 years around here (79-92). It did make the winter of 92-93 all the more amazing though.
