moneypitmike Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The one that dropped 2-3 inches from E NY thru N Ct down to TAN last Monday night The one last Friday that dropped 2-3..though that was WAA Pretty forgettable in light of the subsequent melt-down. The season started with reasonable progress. I'm at 32-34 or somethink like that. But, I can see this becoming a pretty average season in the snowfall department. Not that anything's wrong with that, but having bare ground in the middle of January is just gross. 25.4/25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yep I agree, but you know how it goes here. People will ignore what a lot of us say because everyone wants snow sooner rather than later. I know it sucks to wait, but that's the way it is sometimes. I still like what I see going forward. The trend to bring some relatively milder air back near the beginning of Feb could bode well for you guys. Funny I see quite a few logical people in here but yet you select a couple that are far from logical and think thats "Everyone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where just seeing wet snowflakes in the air is an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're starting to act like you did last January..easy does it I'm a stones throw from my normal snowfall. Not even close to last January. With the way things look downstream and my big snow earlier, I'm sitting here smoking a cigar. I'm not a snowpack snob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine and normal to have more important things in life..like family, work etc..but for you or anyone else on here to tell me they'd rather be looking at grass in winter than even 1-2 inches of snowcover..Well that's a flat out lie. if it's -4 next Friday and there's no snow OTG..the mood in this place is not going to be pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it...perfectly logical that we would waste the first week to 10 days of the reloaded cold because the progged pattern could rival last winter. Think about where we were snowfall wise one year ago, and where we are today. I probably end up with 85" as opposed to 100". I'll live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Excellent snowmaking weather, works for me.Yep, skiing has really changed my perspective on the weather. I'm now happy when it is cold, snowing at the coast or in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love snow and wish I could just hibernate through summer to get to winter. My point is that I'm not going to complain if it's bare. It is what it is and obviously snow OTG is better. Ever since last year, I've lost that frustration factor though. It doesn't bother me like it use to. Also, the fact that things look pretty good through February is getting lost. I'm liking what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I highly doubt all of next week is cold and dry. We always manage to sneak out some lighter snows in these patterns. Thinking back to last week...how it looked dry and we snuck out 2 snowfalls All I got is a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why this is tough to understand. Is snow OTG better? Of course, but I'm not used to wire to wire snowpack. It's not in my climo. Kevin clearly loses it when there is No snow OTG. I don't.

To honest if Tuesday does not work out....I can't see that phenomenon lasting more than 5 days or so. I went through that whole jan 2004 spell with bare ground. That wasn't fun, but the cold was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Can you imagine someone enjoying snowstorms and then the day or two after...but couldnt care less about snowpack? There lies perhaps the biggest difference between all of us, one camp likes to see it fall, the other camp likes to see it fall and stay to play in. Over the years it has become apparent that folks who live in or near cities are more likely to be the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly I have had a very full life for what seems like forever but am still questing for belly to belly winters, my passion has not wavered since I was probably 5 years old, very weird and each member of my family knows about my OCD for winter weather.

Everyone wants it, but there are those who will be all distraught if it doesn't happen and some who won't be. I will absolutely be distraught if no snow falls like 2 winters ago. No hiding that lol.
