It can heavily skew what the winter truly is/was. I'd rather a 19" storm followed by weeks of warmth, then several smaller ones amid consistent cold and weeks of crust. That's just me.

At least for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring since Dec 3 although the thunder sleet at the end of Dec was great. The morbid posts from a few people are a bit over the top but I get it if you enjoy snow and tracking storms. In a few weeks the misery of a crappy winter will be done and we can all enjoy a miserable New England spring with backdoors mud and black flies. Drink deeply my friends! It’s easy to think that way when you have had more than Tamarack though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are done. You said it was over, so, you do not get to partake in any snow chances that will arise between now and the end of March. Anyone else agree? Yes.

But I don’t think I’ve whined as much during bad years like 2015-2016. Last year was worse and I don’t think I bitched and moaned as much. I meh storms but my outlook tends to be positive. I could be wrong and have a faulty memory of bitching through. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll also say Kevin has a point too with small, but trackable events. That’s what makes winter fun. When you go through weeks of nothingness....I’ll be like Dr Dews all enough. Spring usually stinks around here, but at least we know tracking events is over and you have nice days sprinkled in between. This winter has felt like being meteorologically water boarded. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring usually stinks around here, but at least we know tracking events is over and you have nice days sprinkled in between. This winter has felt like being meteorologically water boarded. See, the big events are what I enjoy tracking...when I know there is like an 8" ceiling, it really detracts from the overall experience of tracking for me. The allure of the unknown relative to potential is what drives my fullfillment at least as much as the sensible and visiable appeal of the event itself. There is nothing that I hate more than blogging about complex events with very limited potential, such as mixed precip events like this last one...so much work figuring out and communicating the progression, timing and extent of change over for the zones and so little anticipation of potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean big events aren't fun to track. That's usually implied. The small events (say under 6") at least give us something to do. It does pass the time. I'm fine with no big events...what we have seen in the last 20 years is remarkable in terms of big events. I just can't believe that every event this season has more or less turned to garbage as we approach T=0. Hell even 12/17 turned to crap as the euro really blew that one. I feel like I'm back in the 80s where an all snow 3-6" event was like doing jumping jacks. I'll give anything for an all snow, no stress advisory event right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
