Would be interesting to compare those bad years with the same years in other regions of the country and see if everything east of the Rockies was simultaneously bad as it’s been this year so far. I don’t know the answer to that off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several good quality posters left the Mid Atlantic & New York thread over the last few years. I think they were overwhelmed by the negativity and got tired of fighting it. @psuhoffman is posting much less than other years. @Bob Chill is mostly gone. Those 2 were the main reason that I joined this place. I lurked for years and read their detailed comments everyday. I learned a ton from those guys. The New England thread is sadly following in their footsteps this season. The good quality posters are being overwhelmed with all of the negative & mostly ridiculous posters that add no value to the discussion. The New York thread is mostly unreadable. I feel bad for @MJO812 . He looks for snow chances, but gets trashed everyday for trying to be positive & look for snow. Sadly, this is the way of the world on social media and the way of society in general. Everything is the here & now with instant gratification. There is little regard for history or knowledge. Mitchnick is gone to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, Chill and I used to chat it up and PM....when he left....I was close on the heels. Mitch was level head, knew his shit (as a hobbyist mind you) - but like others... got tired of it. Thats the part that I dont want to see happen here, and as our pool of knowledgeable posters is a bit less.

One can always find an anomaly to fit ones feelings. Some years the sierras are drier than a popcorn fart....some years they set snow records.... Weather is like a chess board....predictable and ever changing from game to game....year to year. Alright...I have to get back to work.

Not only is it top ten of all time but from what I can tell it's number two behind only the 81.2" during the winter of 1960-61. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 This is where I would like to remind everyone that 6 of our last 8 winters have been above average seasonal snowfall. Speaking for Harrisburg of course. In any case, let's keep a little perspective. Our snow will come, it almost always does! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Stays the same on next run-“Still day three, it could definitely shift north for an LSV pay day.” Next run goes south a little “Surface track went south, but H5 improved.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
