Ian Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Looks cold after next week, so there's that it'll get cold again.. only the super snow weenies up north are dumb enough to call for leaf out in feb and no snow ever again. we've lost a lot of winter one way or another... plenty of time to let it redeem the closing bell at least. im not sure i buy into a totally different feb but odds say it should be better than we've seen thus far.

WVclimo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Okay, cool. I understand the mentality too, like you said, my wedding was a snowstorm I got married at a courthouse on December 16 in the height of a cold snowstorm (upper teens for temps with wind.) I am still grateful that Berkeley County government didn't institute early dismissal before we could get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 7 of the last 14 winters at DCA ? didnt i allude to that in the same sentence? it's more like 1 in 4 historically now that i look at the numbers, so i underestimated slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not if you like the outdoors. playing golf in the 30s with a wind is not that much fun. I'd much prefer playing in summer at 90 but I also like snow. When the pattern sucks for snow, then I wish for warmth. If the pattern looked better for snow, I'd want the cold. Everyone is different and everyone vews the world differently. Why should that upset anyone and why should anyone really care. Even though I'm a gardener, I am still outside a much larger percentage of the time when it is subfreezing than when its above 90. As you say, we are all different, but winter, for me, is much more fun outdoors than summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think winter is a great time for golf, but to each his own. For those who ski or snowboard, sunny and 35 is infinitely better than having a blowtorch.

mappy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'd make it my sig, but I can't figure out how to attach an image. You need to use photobucket or image shack and add the image that way as an URL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a very nice post Ian. -15 this morning and 2-4" tonight. Who called for a leaf out in Feb and no snow ever again? Blizz meltdown?

BethesdaWX Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just purchased a new plow for my pickup in anticipation for February and March. IMO no one should be complaining about the 2-3 weeks torch pattern since it is what'll initiate a colder, snowier regime for later in the winter.

For those who ski or snowboard, sunny and 35 is infinitely better than having a blowtorch. I golf, fish and snowboard...winter for me is snowboarding time. Even a mega torch couldn't improve fishing in the winter (I'm a saltwater guy), I'll occasionally get out to golf on warm days, but it just doesn't seem natural in the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO no one should be complaining about the 2-3 weeks torch pattern since it is what'll initiate a colder, snowier regime for later in the winter. I lived in an area that gets an average of 120" of snow per year and maybe two people had plows in the whole neighborhood. What in the Sam hell makes you think you need one? I could possibly see a snow blower, but a plow? You going to try to make money off of it? That'll take you a good long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1551 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My favorite time of the year is spring & summer. I enjoy the late night boomers that shake and rattle every window in the house. That feeling alone let's you know there is a GOD. I also love to fish and play golf myself in my spare time. Fall is beautiful with all the leaves changing colors and the up and down in temps letting us know that winters is knocking on our doors. Winter arrives with it's perks of snow or blizzards. If it is not snowing winter can be boring like this year. But what can you do? I am already looking forward to spring. One thing I can say is winter is not over with and I still believe everyone in the DC area will get a nice snow before winters end. I also think our 8-10in snow prediction by some will come in 1 snow. The real question is when. I see and have read a possible -NAO around the 29 of January. I know it's along ways away. Wow this has been a boring winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
