Quick hitter on the NAM. Perfect timing, too. Coming at night with cold ground will give us instant stickage.
And Ralph, if you had hair one on your jawn, you’d have started the Christmas blizzard thread already
N'ah, the Wiggum storm is the Christmas Blizzard he promised us a few pages back.
Just .20" yesterday. Currently 31F. Funny how it only got above freezing this week for a few hours when the precip arrived.
That’s all I’ve ever wanted, a Christmas Eve storm right out of “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
Snow starts around 3-4pm in the afternoon, rips fatties all night long and winds down Christmas morning just as I’m opening up what Santa left me. Sigh!
I’m resigned to the fact it will probably never happen as long as I’m living in southeast PA. Hence my plans to retire to a colder climate.
My Saturday night TV line up as a kid in the 70’s:
Emergency!
Mary Tyler Moore
The Bob Newhart Show
And if I was lucky, I got to stay up for Carol Burnett’s monologue
I don’t know if the super El Niño of 2015-16 had some sort of long-term effect on global circulation patterns or it’s a coincidence or it’s a combination of factors. But since then, if our winters haven’t been outright ratters, they certainly have been unremarkable.
I’ll be 60 next year. I’ve seen some bad stretches of winter weather (late 80’s into the early 90’s comes to mind). But this past decade is setting a new bar for craptacular.
Yeah, it’s a Nina. Not an ideal winter to go KU hunting. My weenie guess is if something does happen it will pop up inside 84 hours or so. Don’t think we’ll be doing any big dog, long range tracking.
