  1. The problem is it would have been so much better…..see now? As good as it was eventually - losing December and January ruined it…..
  2. Wolfie is fine with average......some are not.....apples to oranges.......thats really all it is.....
  3. "nuances" lol.....word du jour.....can we delete that word from the vocab please......seems everyone uses it now as code for "you're dumb"....... my position on the matter is clear......i will gladly trade you morch snow today for december snow tomorrow........if climo is that more comes in morch then whatever - i still prefer an overperforming winter over an average one......you all settle for average.....thats on you
  4. It’s freaking New England for christs sakes lol
  5. Wolfie relax......I have high expectations - so what.......I want wire to wire pack that is no less than 24" for weeks......Jan 2011 is the benchmark.....I'd like to have that again but have that Boxing Day storm actually work out and then extend into mid Feb......if we can pull that off here in WeHa I'm good.....we came as close as 2 weeks either side of January in 2011 to getting that......its not a big ask.....
  6. Precisely…..December sets the table….if you lose it why bother really……it’s the mood of the season that matters…..days and days of pack……
  7. I only say Lake Tahoe because I grew up out there and thats where we spent a lot of time in the winter......I would love a cabin at Kirkwood or Alpine Meadows......anywhere really.......Mammoth would be cool too but thats BF central sierra and far from everything....
  8. trust me i would give my left nut to move to lake tahoe......omg.....maybe i'll retire there
  9. that was about as pathetic as pathetic gets.......
  10. whoa whoa whoa......tone it down....
  11. The problem is that we lost December......and now everyone says shut the drapes for two weeks.....so now if things do get going then who gives AF really.....the mood of the season matters.....losing December is a big deal...it sets the table
  12. The problem is that sping is just a short 6 weeks away….
  13. It’s around there…..better than being down on the shore……but we do get sucker holed being in the CTRV…..still….been shit lately
  14. Even so the recent winters have been shit…..they were better when we moved here in 2004
  15. Ugh….been super patient since Jan 2011…..
  16. We live in a residential neighborhood just off to the side of 84 in West Hartford.......the house was built in 1950 and the highway followed about 10 years after.....I often think about what 78 looked like just on the other side of the wood sound wall across the street.....if that happened now I would totally hump my ass out onto the highway with hot coffee and hot chocolate and get folks warm and alive......
  17. 12/2007 was crazy.......I worked the back roads to get home that night and was able to do it in an hour which was only 30 minutes longer than normal but the snow was nuts and I had friends at work that it took hours to get home.......that was the ride home in the blizzard with the 6 month old in the car seat.....hair on the chest sort of stuff......haven't seen a deal like that in a bit......cuz winter decided to suck for all time it seems since then
  18. Feb 2006 was good…..24” storm…..then I want to say the next season there was this real protracted period where we got a ton of sleet and cars and trucks had ice cubes on them for days and trucks were getting in trouble for not clearing their roofs off….obviously Jan 2011 was epic…..Feb 2013 epic Nemo…….after that it’s been shit
  19. The January blizzard was a bit meh here after we were actually issued a blizzy…..but it was a good winter….I remember a Rainer just before Xmas no? We had to dig our car out at Logan when we flew back from CA after Xmas though…..if I’m remembering right
  20. We moved here in August 2004…..am I crazy or wasn’t December better back then than now? It’s been 10 years since any decent pack here…..I should just move to Lake Tahoe and be done with it
  21. Thanks for the lecture everyone…..
  22. But who cares about snow in Morch…..It’tl be gone in 48 hours and by then who gives a shit about pack……pack building snows need to occur in December with the big boys in January and/or February……early February cuz by the end of February it’s pretty much cianara……I’m a big pack guy….you want deep pack wire to wire and lately it’s been pretty lol for that…..
