I think the discussion between several and few pretty much sums up the rest of January....yikes

[NorEastermass128]

Definitions of a couple, few, and several…four years of crap winters are getting to us.

@weatherwizI'm not sure why I get the weenie because you make it through grad school not knowing what a few means.

We can use that Brillo pad beard of his to scrape the ice off the windshield in the mornings…

I didn't really think it was that big of a deal  

I said final few weeks of the month..so then just replace few with couple. It's not like I said it with one full week left to go.

I hope so...If it was me, I would prefer the snow to come now before any cold sets in. Not sure I wanna go through 2 weeks of crazy cold, have an overrunning event of snow then melt it a couple days later...

You don’t have to be sure…the weather will decide for you.

If the pattern sets up right and things align correctly, we may not have to worry about melting anything within a few days but we'll have to see what happens moving through the first week of February. A bit more in the way of uncertainty in this respect. At least the incoming cold is setting the stage, now we just have to hope the show delivers.

These are the types of conversations when winter isn’t behaving properly…

Couple

Several

A few

…edge of my seat debates. 

[Sey-Mour Snow]

What’s sad is that SNE will have less than a few inches of snow this month through Jan 20th.

Now they know…so I guess we’ll be moving on from the vocabulary lesson this morning.

This winter fucking sucks. 

Posted something similar in 2015 prior to the blitz. Let's go!

2015 is not walking through that door. Not even close.

Well whatever ya think…it’s eerily similar.  Not saying that we repeat that, but the talk was the same is the point.

Nobody said that Mr happy. But you did not think 15 was happening then either.

I disagree. It’s been a much Different hemispheric look. We have plenty of cold available but can’t seem to get anything more than a “couple” droplets of qpf to slam into it.

You mean we’re not gonna get 100” in 3 weeks? My forecast just got blown up.

Yeah, silly me for not thinking 100” in 3 weeks wasn’t going to happen in 2015.

That was a really good stretch actually after a very frustrating January. We got a moderate event on 1/26 which turned the tide and then we got a big dog on 2/1 and a pretty big event on 2/7. We had our pack over 20” for a time.
