mahantango#1 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 According to my NWS point and click forecast tonight will be the coldest of the winter season so far. Expect a low of 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Sold my Sixers tickets for tonight at 1:19pm. At 1:22pm the game was postponed. I feel bad for the person who bought them online from me. Hopefully it works out for them in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is that to you, snow is snow is snow. December...March...June. You'll take whatever, whenever, and there are no "rules" to it. That's awesome! Having said that. there are people that truly love snow, but not to the unlimited extent that you do. Snow in March to me is not the same as it is in late December. Sure, I love 14" on March 15th, but that comes with the knowledge that I'm going to lose most, if not all of it in the next 48 hours. (most likely) Then, there's the "what have you done for me lately" mentality of suffering through promised weather pattern changes that never materialize. So patience becomes hard...how many times am I going to get burned before I choose a different response? Patience is warranted but there are reasons specific to snow that make it less than a cut and dry situation. Good points again. Indeed I have no rules as to when I get my snow. I do understand and appreciate those that have preferences as to when they get their snow. In our region, we can’t expect continuous snowy patterns from December through March. I just hope that we capitalize when when we do have good periods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just in agreement with blizzard that we can (and have) had late starts and done alright. If this were 4 weeks from now I’d be thinking differently as like you, snow in March to me is a kick in the crotch and a waste of what could have been were it a few weeks earlier.

The problem I have is, it’s hard for me to appreciate the other 3 seasons much if at all if winter isn’t what I would consider adequate. It’s hard for me to get much below normal snowfall and then suffer through months and months of heat and humidity. But still plenty of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to enjoy all 4, but missing winter makes it tough for sure. In a good snow season, Im actually sorta ready for spring and some warmth but I'm sure if I lived in ME or Co, or a real snow town, I'd take all the snow I could get.

In truth I'd have a better chance of your area than the others. Daughter lives in Denver(should be home for holidays any minute btw) so i guess I'd have a whack at Co if she stays there. You live in a great area, and one I hope to frequent more. Will stop to steal a beer next time through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember many winters in Willow Street/Millersville of mild, mild, mild... 3 to 6 inches of snow, then some sleet, then rain. Melts within 3 days...mild, mild, mild... maybe half frozen ponds for a few days and the Amish trying to skate on the ice covered parts... Dry, gusty NW winds while watching a snow cloud vanish as it works its way in from Harrisburg... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm not on the Tug Hill...only made it a year there because the economy is struggling there..especially with the fading winters ruining the winter sports industry there. I'm in the northwest Syracuse burbs, where we average 130 inches, but haven't gotten anywhere near that the past several winters. Mild and maritime has been the rule with the ugly Pacific. Lake effect snow has been almost non-existent. My wife and the many people here who seem to hate snow are loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
