    Some of those cities are not big snow locations; Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City...when my late grandparents came from IN to visit my mother and father in the 50's they were shocked at some of the Newark area snowfalls.....

    Excellent photos Don. Did you use a phone for these? It's amazing how clear photos are today. Back in the day I had to wrestle with 35mm and take rolls of film to get maybe one good shot of a guy holding a fish....did a few covers for The Fisherman. Never was much of a photographer. Or anything else, really....

    There are trails locally that never reopened because they couldn't clear all the trees. Walking paths I had used for a decade were blocked. Some of those dead trees are rotting away enough to walk some of those areas again. I'll never forget the local mall parking lot filled with timber, and the local parks filled with mountains of wood chips.

    Is that your high? Same area...

    Possibly due to the same things that caused the dustbowl; interesting topic for a dissertation. But it can't be right, as my parents grew up in the 30's and they always told me they walked miles uphill in the deep snow with holes in their shoes to get to school.

    I don't think so Ant. The super warm temps have got everyone pessimistic. Get us some cold and a few inches, even after a front end dump that turns to rain, and people will fell better about things.

    Snowfall has been unimpressive since 2016 IMBY. Many of the other storms since were misses out here, some by quite a lot.
  8. weatherpruf
    I do....saw a lot of them. Never with this much warmth and so sustained though. 80's were paltry, but not this warm.70's weren't great either. And neither were most of the 90's. We've had a good run from 2001-2016, with a few lean years in there. Been meh ever since for a lot of us.

    Still rain for 2/3rd of us if I am reading correctly

    think you mean 2014/15, the winter of the nickel and dime events which totaled 50 some inches.....15/16 was one big storm in Jan. and one small one in Feb.
  11. weatherpruf
    None of us really knows, not even the most diligent scholars of this stuff, but I would never bet against any snow in the metro area this early. By the end of Feb I might make the bet, but the last two years I would have lost...

    Did some garden work today. Still have fresh herbs going strong, thyme, rosemary, and some other stuff my wife planted, maybe sage. Have creeping charlie invading the pots. Still not the tomato seedlings I had growing in Dec 2015, but close enough. Blueberries started budding. All very disorienting. Looks like winter will return shortly according to people here. we'll see.

    I'm in NJ and it has gotten cloudy and quite windy, not really a nice day just warm....people outside doing stuff but it's just to get a break. It was sunny briefly but that's gone.
  14. weatherpruf
    Yeah, last May was definitely colder than this....
  15. weatherpruf
    I'm not expecting much. Strictly anecdotal, but good winters ( well, most would consider this a "good" winter so far, due to mild temps ) in my experience usually show an early signal with a cold, icy or snowy Dec. Likewise, dud winters usually follow snowless or mild Dec. But we can still sneak in a good storm, like Jan 2016. That said, I have been following PB's analysis and I give him great weight, so hope he is right.

    Probably a straight south wind there? A southwest wind will always blow up during these kinds of warmups. At least in my experience.
  17. weatherpruf
    It's shocking and I see there are violent storms that could be triggered south of us. People talk about the dangers of snowstorms, but these winter warmups tend to have their own problems. We'll see.

    These systems rarely deliver much snow to us, a few inches that gets washed away in a hurry.
  19. weatherpruf
    So we'd be looking at fast moving systems, no huge events, if they happen, no? That's fine, my favorite recent winter was 2014, not a blockbuster among them, just solid 6-10 in. storms.
  20. weatherpruf
    No, but we have not been the locus of any but Boxing Day and Jan 2016; and western parts of the county may not have done was well Boxing Day, not sure. Although they still had a lot. I always remind myself that most people think of a "bad" winter as one that features any amount of snow and ice, people around these parts complain about the winters incessantly.
  21. weatherpruf
    Depends on your location. Few of the storms outside of Jan 2016 were much to talk about in my region, relative to others. Only the last March 2018 storm delivered ( about 9 inches give or take ) and we did have the Easter Monday snow of 3-5 as a consolation prize, but other than that it has been near misses, subsidence, mixing issues, dry air, you name it.

    I'm coastal plain, but near Raritan Bay. Don't get the same as the coast or interior. So a little too far west for that one.
  23. weatherpruf
    Widespread, but paltry for a lot of us in this subforum....
  24. weatherpruf
    Yes, but it was devoid of a snow storm. Couple sleet events.
  25. weatherpruf
    This is why I don't come to banter during the work day....
