once again I find myself thinking of a previously used polishing turd analogy when looking at our "winter" future. Yall know thats not how I roll, and I'm usually looking for the way to find snow, but odds look rather low for a flush hit of something appreciable (and not a sneaky cartopper like I barely had this morning). I want to be wrong in the worst way, and I'll bud in line on the Blizz train if we can find something. Till then....just going to take a chill pill n roll w/ it. I've got a trip to Maine w/ 23 other guys hanging out there in a couple weeks, but am fearful that too may be in trouble if Ens guidance has a clue to the misty distant future (Gadomski ism)

so did the look of the nooner LR Ens guidance and the short terms/ops didnt pick up on southern pa until almost inside 24 hours Tellies look troubling other than that.....were good yours truly, Debbie

For me i think its more the winters over part. My dog passed, so I dont worry about mud like I used to. Only thing worse than a bad winter is a late spring and cold that shoulda been here 2 months earlier than late march/april. Like you...if snow aint stickin....I'll take it but its more of a bittersweet pill to swallow to me.

even though it's felt like winter often...if its not gonna snow...add me to the dung heap if Feb is gonna be more see saw and no snow. I hate spring so lets get it over with so I can hop on the hog. MORCH on...

I guess since were looking for ++'s in this "winter" at least we've not had a shut the shade blow torch...no matter what the temp departures show. When its cold, its moderately cool, and when its warm....its just plain warm. Despite the lack of white, I'm still sorta ok w/ the reality that it's felt like winter frequently. Just doesnt look the part.

So I'm just gonna throw out that some Ens guidance surely doesnt look like the "end of winter". Snowloversdelight.....hardly....but this looks like winter to me (and I was rather surprised to see this start showing up yesterday). "See saw" temp swings looks appropriate to me. I should be trolled for throwing a post 240 hr map out for disco, so I'll not post further beyond (which looks to warm) as thats way too far out to fret over. heres the opposing view. Not sure how it ends up but as always stated 7 outta 10 times betting warm wins.

he rounded 9.98 up to 10. Pure sensationalism..... This winter sux

I'm just a lucky guy....what can i say. Was gonna take a pic, but it wasnt pic worthy to see white roofs. Meh. I posted obs above from my hood for any that think I'm further off my rocker than previously thought.

underperformer....... shocked arent ya? BUT........it did snow. My wife said "look at the roofs - it snowed". My response was underwhelming. also traffax was stating Adamstown and east was "slick" w/ numerous accidents into berks edit - 17501 01 07:53 N 7 10.00 Fair CLR 28 16 60% 21 NA 30.27 1025.3 01 06:53 N 8 10.00 Fair CLR 30 16 33 30 56% 22 NA 30.24 1024.3 01 05:53 NW 8 10.00 Overcast OVC100 32 19 59% 25 NA 30.22 1023.6 01 04:53 NW 8 10.00 Overcast OVC090 33 23 66% 26 NA 30.20 1023.1 01 03:53 NW 5 3.00 Light Snow Fog/Mist SCT048 SCT065 OVC080 33 29 85% 28 NA 30.18 1022.2 01 02:53 W 5 9.00 Overcast OVC047 33 28 82% 28 NA 30.19 1022.6 01 01:53 Calm 10.00 Overcast OVC041 33 28 82% NA NA 30.18 1022.4 01 00:53 Calm 10.00 Overcast OVC043 33 28 35 33 82% NA NA 30.18 1022.4

I chuckle when CXY gets brought into the disco, cause we all know they run warm. Even when the mean truly is warm - it just skews the reality. Thank goodness most here know it.

car/roof topper in akron. Barely that in lititz/manheim.

yeah my sledding (or chasing snow to do it) is not what it used to be....TONS of miles in vehicles towing trailers n sleds to get some miles in. I spread my love of motorsports out to include a HD Street Glide and a Kawi Teryx UTV that get plenty more chances at being used. I wish it werent that way, but like you suggest, many of us are just not putting what we did into the sleds anymore. Tugs/upstate NY economy was hurting before the lean years as the taxes up there knocked the stuffing outta local economies and small towns. Throw some bad snow years onto lean times (oh and a pandemic)....and the pic is not so rosey.

You can now add the HH NAM into the mix as it shows a touch of snow for us southern tier folks as we've been suggesting. I was happy to see snow today and I'll be happy once again tomorrow (if I get outta bed as it's overnight).

Steady light snow now in Etown. No cavage but glad i nailed the forecast from 5 days out. Still think tomorrow has enough potential to do the same thing as boundary really is stationary and another piece of energy is close enough by to our south to throw up enough qpf to get a "snow on snow" event here. This always looked like an overruning set up from afar (last week) and thats why i suggested to keep an eye out for norther adjustments as we got closer.

still steady mood flakes fallin in ETown. Hope it lasts till I get home. It sets my mood right.

steady flurries in etown

Kanucks yellin all aboard the for LSV'rs as well.

The above snow train is currently out of commission, so we'll be substituting a wagon being pulled by a jackass (donkey of course).

allllll abooard......... @Blizzard of 93 Blizz your slackin (or gunshy about posting snow pics). Dont stop believing pal.

can you bring some of that "overperforming" weather back east? Please and thanks

solanco's best shot at gettin on the board...lol what a tough year.

and as i like to look for the positives in life..... I saw like 5-6 snowflakes hit my windshield on the way into the office. Not jokin. This is serious stuff yall.

you may look good........ but ya still stink.

Bingo....get this man a prize... Its been a constant of the last few years, and undoubtedly playing a roll in muckin up our flow.

no like button being hit here pal. I had friends on "the hill" this weekend, and am waiting for the sled damage assessments to come rollin in. Theres enough to ride, but with little base....ouch. Otoh, I always say that w/ sleds, "thats why they call em wear items" (hyfax/carbides etc). Really feeling for the establishments that rely on winter enthusiasts for their support.
