Once again your taking a generalization and making it a law. It's not like a magic switch goes off on President's Day that shuts off snow for the year.

Ok, so you're saying your statement was a gross overgeneralization. Good.

It was an incorrect statement. Instead of fighting it, just move on and say you meant early march.

My parents had a saying that it always snows on St Patricks Day and at times it has seemed that way to me in more recent years.

Thta's probably because in 1956, it snowed 6.7" on 3/16 and 11.6" on 3/18. :P

In the last 50 years, there have been 8 6" storms in March, but only 3 of them were after 3/10.

Not arguing with you, too much respect for that. I'd like to find a breakdown of snowfall by date to see how much snow actually falls between President's Day and say St. Patrick's Day since alot of people on here seem to think Central Park has still done well since 1970.

Honestly dude-I have no ill will towards you like others do here, but you are making a fool of yourself. Let it go.

Couldn't be further from the truth - McCarthy is the true OC calling the plays which are 30% of the time changed at the line by ARod anyway. Gameplan & football wise there will be zero effect.

Emotionally, I think GB will rally around their coach as will the community. Think it actually hurts the GMen. Very sad story.

I think the tragedy that has unfolded there is going to go a long way towards making the game this Sunday alot more winnable.

why is everyone going nuts over what he said, the general idea is the snow season is mainly X Mas to probably a week after Presidents Day. That does not mean we cannot get storms it just means that your chances are really starting to go down. Yes sun angle is important because it wipes out light to moderate events plus what about sustained snowpack which alot of people like, really tough to get that into March with wild temperature swings. So to me if this winter is going to deliver anything, the pattern better start changing within the next couple of weeks because relying on March snowstorms is not relying on good odds.

its almost like when i want 90s and 100s and we are in the 2nd week of July and all we have had is cool and clouds and the models really are not showing a favorable pattern right to the end of the month. If its going to get hot it better get hot by mid August because relying on September to bring heat well thats not good and just like 90s in September, snow in March is fleeting for the most part

In 01-02 the mets were calling for cold and snow right around the corner every couple of weeks...big pattern change, big snows, big cold....never came....

yeah, but we didn't have any storms to even track, a little different but still snowless. Oh well, played 18 on Saturday and it was awesome. Shot an 89 and absolutely had a blast

I wish I could shake your hand right now. If someone else had made the same comment the end result would have been different, but since I'm so well liked, that's what happens. I can't let it bother me.

11/38 (29%) after President's Day. I excluded 2-19-1979 and 2-16-2003 because they were on President's Day itself, so it's a "push" :P
