Itstrainingtime

I'm happy...I guess? Blizz had me feeling guilty last night for not wishing this to turn better. Thinking about it, any snow is good snow. And there are no guarantees going forward, so there's that too. It would be nice to see yet another snowy scene... I'm just craving something special though.

Back on Eastern, his afternoon Euro PBP was epic. I mean zero disrespect to anyone else but his breakdown on model runs...holy cow was he good.

Yeah, "PhillyWx" which I don't think exists any longer. I posted there as well as Mitch and a few others. A lot of the Philly area posters bolted here for that site when it was started by Tombo.

LOL, I'm sorry. I guess I really am dumb.

I often think the same thing. (as JNS) You have (literally) millions of people in the New England, NYC, Philly and Baltimore/DC areas. We often easily outpost Philly and we're not far behind the others with WAY fewer people in our area. I think he's 100% dead on right. I don't think it's even close. How can you not see that?

He is, but he hasn't uploaded for a month because it hasn't snowed much. He'll be sharing big time this week as they are about to get demolished. "Life In The Eastern Sierra"

I'm not, but you are because ice is expected after 4pm, which is when the advisory actually begins.

That's just it! I find that sub a "must read" for me because there is a LOT of good information shared with some truly exceptional posters.

Those buildings look very much like the one that we stayed at in Mammoth. Speaking of Mammoth - 50-70" fresh snow expected tonight into tomorrow. Gotta love the forecast "snow...maybe heavy at times, total daytime accumulations of 33-39". I hope if they're expecting 3' of snow just during the day tomorrow that it comes down pretty good at times. I mean, to get to 3' they need to average like 3"/hour for the entire day...

There is a sub that neighbors ours that seems to have a lot of posters who are jealous/resentful towards us. I don't get it. At least for those of us in the LSV, our climate is very similar to theirs. We typically do better in March storms but there are many events that they do as well if not better than we do. They're ahead of us this winter. But reading their comments, it's like they think that we're at 97" for the winter. They have a perception that just isn't true. The thing is, there has been posters who have shared thoughts here...Hoffman, Mappy, Chris and others. All of us have welcomed them openly. But if one of us goes down there ( @Ruin) they get pissy quickly all because of the false perception that they have.

Music to my ears!

So what did you do to amend your "final" total of .5?"

I want to comment on this - we've both (and a few others have well) uttered similar things over the past couple of months. It really comes down to perspective and gratitude. I could choose to come on here and say "this isn't fair, Virginia's got more snow than me!!!!, or, and this could be me speaking - "my undeserving but incredibly lucky family members who all live in the stupid Rehoboth Beach/Lewes DE area are now at 200% of their seasonal snowfall average and it's only 2/12!!!!" Or alternatively, I could say "this was to be a crappy winter pretty much wall to wall with maybe a few week stretch of winter if we're lucky, but instead we've already had a LOT of cold, a LOT of snow events (even if most have been light), a lot of days with snow cover, and quite possibly more on the way." I don't have my numbers in front of me but one of the past few winters I went an entire season where my temperature fell below 20 degrees TWO TIMES. The lowest temp was 16. And then there was the winter with about 1" of snow the entire season. And that year wasn't to be as bad as this one was forecast to be. I just wish people could enjoy what is happening. Just enjoy this. Don't worry or get angry or whatever because of what isn't happening. Open your freaking front door, walk outside and behold the beauty of winter 2025.

Happens every single time. I'm simply on a lucky streak.

2.2" total snowfall. Overall pleased with my prediction. (guess) That area of snow on radar is intensifying but it's also consolidating/tightening up west of the river. Some very light snow is falling here currently.

Big storm still there on tonight's models but in response to the block it's a miss for us right now.

SN and 27 at 1am. Looks to be about 1" or so but tired eyeballs are struggling.

Best snowfall rates of the day currently. 27 degrees.

Sixers play infinitely better without Embiid on the floor.

What a disgrace this team is. All 3 "stars" in the lineup and they lose at home to a shitty team minus 3 of their top players. Sickening.

Holy cow does Joel Hans Embiid suck.

It has completely shut off here. Nary a flake.

My forecast verified! When I said 2-4" it was implied that the "2" was in tenths.

Light snow and 27. Up to .2"

It ain't here, lol I guess I'm in PSU Hoffman's camp. We're hunting big dogs and this weekend would take a miracle.
