aldie 22 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Do you want it to come all at once or in several small events? My choice is 8-10 1" events over the second half of January into the first part of February that stick around for a while with cold temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd say all at once. I was just in a part of the country for Christmas where it snowed on and off all day but never accumulated more than an inch. I actually found it sort of annoying. Plus, an official "inch" of snow can often appear to be much less in real life, especially when temps are marginal as they often are around here, even in the heart of winter.

Fozz Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd be willing to take it at once if it stays on the ground for at least 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, I'll take it in several 2-3" events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 5 x 2in events. I like to watch the snow fall more than having to shovel out my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 If 8-10 is the max, then I hope for a shutout. At least it would be something to talk about for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 This is an easy one. Give me a 5-7" in mid jan with 2 weeks of cold to keep the snow on the ground. Follow that with a sledible 3" sometime in Feb. After that, bring early spring so I can get an early start to the fishing season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we don't get deluges that make wading or kayaking the Upper Potomac a risky proposition. Though an early spring with good rains helps the garden to no end.

Sparky Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I only want to shovel once. Already have 4.5" for the season. So one more 5.5 incher to keep within bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grothar of Herndon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'll take one 4-5"event and then two or three 1-2"events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I want one cold, wintry period. A repeat of late January into February 1995 would be just fine with me- a 3-4" snow followed by a 6" one that lasts for awhile on the ground. If there's one last spare inch, I would like that to be in a snow-to-freezing rain storm so that the trees get glazed, like in late January '09.
