I always think it's silly when people say we just need some snow but at this point I think it's partly true.

A 23 month absence of snow that just barely covers the tips of my tightly.mowed lawn and a snow shovel that hasn't seen daylight in just as long is a serious issue that "just seeing snow" only begins to resolve.

I read this board in the summer and I think you may be a tad delusional in thinking the wishcasting is that much different...uh oh....tornado!!!! Lol

maybe.. but we don't latch on to storms 10 days in advance very often or ever. plus i think there is an inherent knowledge that tornadoes or true severe wx impacts a minute part of the population in most instances around here. we're all generally happy to see it somewhere even if we don't see it ourselves. not really a one to one comparison.. plus in this region most people who like svr wx follow lots of wx whereas there are a lot of people who only post here when there's a chance of snow. not to be snobby, but many of them just think snow is pretty and that's about as far as they care to delve.

I also think it is partially people in the summer are out much more, the weather is much nicer the days are longer and people take vacations. In the winter it is dark, cold and people are cooped up in their houses so they post alot more.

that might be part of it.. but snow is an easy weather item to love without needing to get too far into the whys. people like t-storms i guess, but most people aren't looking for severe wind or tornadoes -- more or less, "hey lightning that's cool." there are definitely posters who you never see anywhere on the forum except during the time when there is a glimmer of snow hope. there are those among them who are good posters and try to learn etc., but i'd stand by the idea that says that sub-group also contains the worst posters across the board.

Oh really, the GFS 18z has a storm in the long range. All I can say is " Bah Humbug". If its not 5 days or less then plan on pulling your hair out all winter. I learned years ago that time in weather only cause heartache then smiles!!!! If our oscillations were in check then maybe it would be something to think about but then it's the long range.
