Itstrainingtime

1.71" of rain in Maytown.

Coating of snow at home, less than last week. Should be home by dinnertime.

1.13" of rain so far at home. Heading home later tomorrow, total rainfall here in Orlando since I arrived 9 days ago is a T.

Orlando. Beautiful past 9 days. Not missing the drama one bit either...

It's hotter here than Tomlin's azz.

80/67 at noon. Front comes through here tonight into tomorrow.

I always like to lowball - based on my cameras and grass height when I left I'm going with .4". In all likelihood it was a bit higher.

9 out of 11 December trips to be exact.

Sunny and 63. Son reports snowy landscape in Maytown this morning when checking in on things. #itoldyouitwouldsnowwhileiwasgone. Happens every time. Almost literally.

Sunny and 58.

Nope.

Orlando.

85/71 currently.

I'm taking a break from here and will be back in a few weeks after I respond to this: Ironically, some of the posters in this thread actually support/embrace the idea of Climate Change. And those that do have shared that in this thread...but they share it among other things that they like to post about. YOU...ONLY...post about one thing. Like literally one thing. This morning was a perfect example - many in here saw their first snowflakes of the season. In the midst of that, you randomly post numbers to support your agenda. And agenda that was completely contradictory to what everyone in here was talking about. For Christ's sake, why can't you let people enjoy something they haven't seen in months? Have you ever heard the concept of "reading the room?" When you do what you did this morning, and actually make statements along the lines of "Geez, I guess no one down in Harrisburg realizes how shitty it's been for snow recently" - that is going to elicit a response. As it should. THAT...was trolling. You knew damn well that snow is something that we all covet, we all celebrate, we all worry about, get stressed over, etc., and yet you still felt it was necessary to say that. Look, not everyone supports your agenda, whatever. But people aren't stupid, either. You throw the bait out constantly and then cry foul when the sharks bite your line and strip it. It's just not a good look at all. I might be a lot of things but I sure as hell ain't a fucking snowflake. I rarely talk like this but I've had my fill. Most people get along with each other in this thread...there's a reason why you've drawn wrath. It might be worthwhile to take a step back and think about that. Now, I'm getting ready for Florida. It's going to be 86 at humid as hell in Orlando this weekend. So be it.

I would have agreed with you until recently - he's making posts today that are 100% factually wrong about what people in this thread have said and/or are saying. That's trolling. He's looking to get a rise and he's gotten what he wanted.

Whoops! Looks like you're wrong again. This is beyond obvious now.

Are you serious? I haven't had to shovel once in 3 years. You don't think we don't realize it hasn't been snowy the past couple of years? This HAS to be a troll comment. It's all we've talked about the past couple of winters. I'm legit pissed right now.

Yup - there are times when that happens that I'll actively root for the opposite to happen...just because.

I get it and I sympathize. I just had a conversation with someone here at work that is struggling as well. I'm guilty sometimes of assuming that everyone embraces snow and cold like I do and that's just not the case. And for some people, it's more than just disliking it. It genuinely affects their well-being. Hang in there. I wish you well. Truly.

I took from this that as a snow lover, I should get ready to Rejoyce.

No snow in Maytown. Temp did not even drop to "legit" freezing last night - 32.3 was my low.

100% agree - I welcomed him in our thread for that very reason.

At least in this thread, we've talked ad nausem about how frequent big snowstorms have happened over the past 25 years. What has been missing, at least locally are the 4-8" type snowfalls that seemed much more common in the 1970s and 1980s.

Very little snow until the 2nd half of January, then big amounts from then through February. He was calling for 1-3" total snowfall through like January 15th. 2016 is a top analog for this winter - we ended up AN that winter. Of course, almost the entire season's snowfall came in 24 hours on 1/22-1/23.

There is at least one met (yeah, that guy from MU) that said a month ago that we would be waiting a good long time for snow...
