Ask @MacChump

Not trying to ruffle any feathers or anything. Even if Philly was as busy as the others I’d still stay in this sub forum lol, I’d just be the southernmost member.

You're fine.  We tried this a few years ago and the Philly members were against it.

Weird post dude.  Know your audience....(also this belongs in banter not a storm thread)

Bear in mind that the last 2 winters or so are the anomaly, as is 96. A normal winter should have some snow events around here, decent ones at that, and when they aren't happening it is odd ( though perhaps to be expected in changing climate patterns ). So, I would say, if you despise snow, there are plenty of places that aren't too hot that also don't snow much; TN, NC, upper GA, even KY and southern IN. I like a good snow, but don't want to move to ME where it snows a lot. And in a winter with such a serious pandemic, I'm not big on a bad winter with a lot snow either. But we can enjoy one after almost 3 years of nothing, right?

Adding to this...i often wonder if some of you realize that your old posts dont just go away...

As a recently retired mental health professional, I would say that many people need professional help these days, and that is not a put down. More people should take advantage of the help that is out there.

I never understood why the NYC and Philly sub forums were separate, the Philly sub forum so dead. If I end up in Central/South Jersey I’ll still be posting here.

I would never accept that, unless we in the N&W/N&E sub forum were allowed to then conquer and annex the southern New England Forum into the NYC forum.

We must keep a balance, there's already to many south of I78ers here., and I don't like their climate.

Yes, i wasn't even paying attention. I just bought two snowblowers and they were a steal. Since I ordered them they are flying off the stockroom floor....

The store I bough them from is cleaned out, even though it is in S Jersey and no real accumulation expected there ( but I suspect a lot of people up north, like we did, took the hour drive to pick them up ). If I were enterprising ( which I'm not ) I could get some serious cash selling these off even at a substantial discount ( I paid 299 for one machine that retailed for 1100, and 149 for another that retailed for 950...liquidation sale ). Admittedly, one of them hasn't been able to start ( I suspect old gas, as there is a varnish smell; the story was that floor models come with some gas for testing; we'll see, final sale but warranty still effective; but they gave me the wrong machine, what a screw up; the one I ordered for that price was a smaller single stage; my wife picked them up and even argued with them that it was the wrong one, they insisted the bigger machine was the right one and that the picture on the receipt was wrong! ) Now they said ok well we'll just change the paperwork so you can prove purchase. Didn't even ask for the price difference. No wonder ( big retailer ) is going under....it's like they already took the loss and don't give a crap.

Tough forecast haven’t been here for a while living in s. Florida now the one overlooked fly in the ointment is sst temp and how far the low is off the coast .watch buoy readings it’s fun and could give a good indicator on the coast for mixing issues .

Sheesh, I went to bed cautiously optimistic about a nice classic 21st century LI snow - close to but on the safe size of the "rainger zone" (just coined that phrase now)  only to see that things have de-escalated quickly for these parts.

For the bulk of the 21st century LI managed to thread the needle and time and time again pull out these awesome snowstorms  - nothing short of a freaking delightful phenomenon which never got old for those of us who grew up in the snow-starved 80s.  Last few years though, the 80s seem to be rearing their ugly head with these 'rain for the coast' deals.

I was in agreement too on a more southerly track.   I didn't think I90 in NY would see a flake. 

+1. Not my best forecast, but at least we can take pride in having laid it out on the table for all to scrutinize. Nothing worse than the folks who strut in at the 11th hour after a week of radio silence and say they always knew it was going to be like this.
