Itstrainingtime

Yep. And both Horst and now Elliott at MU seem to include that during every wintry event. We know that not all snow is the same, but my neighbor in the next office thinks that 2-4" of snow is going to be 2-4" of snow on their street every time.

First measurable snowfall (and it's less than 1" so far) today in the Sierra Mountains (Mammoth) since December 30th. 47 days (nearly 7 weeks) without even a snow flurry during mid-winter.

Exactly why I asked the question - we've talked a lot over the years about when we want it to snow, do we want a lot of smaller snowfalls or one huge storm, during the day or night, etc. But I saw the discussion in the other thread regarding street accumulations and realized that even though I don't think I've ever verbalized it, I do feel strongly that snow is MUCH more impressive to me if it's accumulating on everything. To me, snow on grass but not roads = snow that will be history very quickly. Just my feelings.

I should clarify, I think Simmons will play before then. I don't think he'll play in Philly. Seems like an easy game to "rest".

Help pay for next year's investment. It costs a pretty penny to have full season NBA membership. I wouldn't sell them all, but maybe half? That's what we do during the regular season. We've been to 14 games. There's 12 home games left and we're going to 6 of them. 20 trips to south Philly is plenty during the winter.

Makes complete sense. Thanks for the input. If work wasn't a concern would it still matter?

I have no real expectations regarding Simmons. Once the game is within a few days of happening and his status becomes more clear, you'll see those outlandish prices essentially hold...or plummet. My wag is he doesn't play.

Okay - so there's a little ongoing "discussion" our friends to our south are having this afternoon regarding snow accumulating on streets. Some feel that it truly doesn't matter, since snow isn't measured on streets, others are saying it's not the same if it's only accumulating on grassy surfaces. If I'm being completely honest - snow isn't the same to me if it isn't "all white" - there's nothing like the first stages of a "real snowstorm" when the roads and sidewalks are already white while the grass is only dusted. I don't really like seeing several inches on the grass if the roads and driveways are just wet. It loses some appeal to me. What says you, good people? Edit: It's not a plowable snowfall unless the plows are actually needed.

I'm not selling. I'll sell 76ers-Nets playoff tickets if and when they occur. March 10th? No way.

At least Paul was at the game on Saturday night. No sign of Harden.

Heard some rumblings earlier about the first few days of March. Might be the next legit window?

About as good as chance has Harden has at making a stop on defense.

Same - it's been quite a while since there's been any snow here other than Sunday AM. Piles disappeared a couple of weeks ago.

Several years ago there were some spots near Boston that had snow piles that didn't fully disappear until June.

Over the past 2 days I've traveled through a good part of our county. There was snow cover yesterday pretty much everywhere outside of a 5 mile radius of the homestead. Sort of disappointing. That said - I had very low expectations coming into this winter. I fully expected this to be a bottom 10 in my lifetime, if not bottom 5. Given what I thought were realistic expectations, I'd honestly rate this winter as a C. We've had a lot of cold with some snow. I'm at 12.1" for the season. I've done worse. And there's certainly a chance that won't be the final total. It's all about perspective in relation to expectations.

I've had even less than that.

Any day with sunshine and little wind this time of year will feel good outside even with normal temps. I was getting used to what we had last week and yesterday was kind of rude. LOL

@canderson- you mentioned potential storms for Thursday in the past couple of days. I see the Mid Atlantic severe thread is active this morning...

I received .09" of liquid. After seeing multiple pics of snowy landscapes in this thread yesterday afternoon, I took my wife on a "snow investigation" trip around the area. It was amazing what happened as soon we got out of the Maytown/Mount Joy area - ground went from brown to fully snow covered in Landisville, East Pete, Manheim, and even Lancaster. It seemed like the only area without snow cover was from the Mount Joy borough line to the river. Everywhere east, south, and north from there was a totally different world. But it certainly made sense. I lowered my snowfall yesterday back down to 2". Maybe you can give me an estimate based on my liquid total?

Makes sense. It was never to be a normal snowfall season however.

That is crazy! I have NO snow left in my yard. Nothing. It's 100% gone.

Sun angle is never wrong to talk with me about. I play it up all the time in here, because there are many scenarios when it's underrated. (there's also time when it's overrated as well)

It'll be fun to watch what happens later on.

Except we haven't had sun.

What were you expecting? Seems like most in our area got or exceeded what was predicted, and that was even more than what it looked like we would get back on Thursday. I mean, if you were expecting 8" I could see the disappointment, but...
