How would you best describe your relationship with snow?

[Fozz]

Either the 8th or 9th option

[brad1551]

6&9 for me. How about #6 with mutilple KU's every winter. I am defiantly one of the frusterated as well.

[Huffwx]

Every couple years, I drop a level. I was the last one when I first discovered models. 

[mitchnick]

how do you answer if you experience each of them in varying degrees every winter day?

[clueless]

Don't know. Just wake up and first thing I check is latest model run. Have been known to stay up into the wee hours to check them out. What does it make me? Depressed. No. 8 pls.

you are 9 or 10..pick one

[WVclimo]

I have a healthier attitude about it than I did years ago. 

 

Part of that was moving to this area, which affords more opportunities for wintry weather.  Another part of it was investing in a pretty sweet PWS with good siting, which makes whatever weather that is happening interesting to me, since I am measuring it.  And part of it is just experience, with this being my 50th Mid-Atlantic winter, and all the bum seasons that has entailed.  

 

I get excited when models show the possibility it may snow, and do still feel a letdown if it doesn't pan out, but I am not nearly as affected now as I was for most of my life.

I picked 9...the biggest change for me lately though is I really don't get too down anymore when it doesn't snow. I really love all snow even non accumulating snow....I definitely will stay up late during an event....haven't stayed up late for a model in awhile but that's mostly because there hasn't been anything to track

Some of my favorite moments from 09-10 wasn't the HUGE events but the 5-6 events after Feb 5 where we just had a half inch or so. Just walking in flurries with a nice snow cover is most enjoyable. 

[EastCoast NPZ]

Unrequited love.  I love it; it hates me......

[NoVaWx]

10 most years but an 8 or 9 these last couple years with nothing to track. Beginning to forget how it feels to track something big... Last exciting storm to track was sandy and that wasn't even snow.

[Ji]

Definitely the disease one

"I enjoy snow, but it isn't a big deal if it doesn't happen. I don't invest much time or emotion into it."

 

and part of the 7th one

 

"I like snow to the point that I follow models, track storms and want as much snow as possible, but I don't sweat it if it doesn't go my way."

[I-83 BLIZZARD]

I lived near Canton in Baltimore City for 27 years so I was used to being in the ultimate screw zone with urban heat island and water. Being on a high hill well NW of the fall line gives me the extra chance to cash in on marginal events. There have been many occasions where I am at the office with bare ground just to go home to respectable snow cover. Really remarkable to see firsthand the difference that 35 miles up I 83 can make between coastal plain of Baltimore City versus elevated Mason Dixon line areas.

[WEATHER53]

When its like almost 100% snow covered, all bright and white-especially daytime but even at night.

 

I get like a reverse SAD.  Exhilerated by the extra light I think.

 

Good memories of the few times it was snow coovered, sky west DC that nice purple/orange red hue right in last minutes of daylight and it's already 17F. 

[Grothar of Herndon]

I am a 9. I used to be a 10, but have learned to deal with the awful winters the past few years. I saved myself before my family put me in rehab.

[H2O]

8.  i want snow and multiple KUs every winter but I've been watching/reading too long to get as worked up over stuff as i used to.  I don't look at model runs every day anymore even if it is just to see LR stuff.

[North Balti Zen]

8. Love it, want it, live in wrong place to get as down as I do about it. 

[Bob Chill]

Not sure how to answer. We broke up two years ago and have barely talked since. Im still not over it but it's becoming much easier. Almost feels like snow doesn't exist to me anymore. Its part of the healing process I guess.

I was thinking about going out with cold rain but she's a total slut. Around all the time and just gives it up whenever. Same with humid heat. Kinda gets boring after the first roll in the hay.

I guess that snow will always be my first love. But now that we broke up so long ago I find myself looking for her less and less nowadays. Until she comes back around again I have much better things to do with my time.

[wxdude64]

I guess I am a lot like wxtrix and WVclimo. Being in the mountains (although at a lower elevation THAN the mountains) I see more snow than most on this forum east. That said, when I was a teenager and in 20's I was more of a 11+, with lots of time spent on the roads in WV every time a upslope event happened. Spend many hours driving on RT 219, RT 60, WV 39 and WV 20 in those days.

[MN Transplant]

Between 8 & 9.  I do obsess, but I also do not make the effort to go out and find snow, which I think holds me back on the scale.

[WinterWxLuvr]

I always felt like an idiot over this........

 

......until I discovered this board.

 

Can't decide if I'm a last or next to last.  It's a close call.

I will once I'm self-sufficient

For most of my friends south of the M/D line, I'd say the relationship is something like this:

 

[MacChump]

7

[baldereagle]

My relationhip has been non-existent for 2 years........major snow famine on the Delmarva snowhole, now no longer a hole because winter don't seem to come nowhere near here no more...but hey, the models say it might be a week or so away, lol. When it ultimately comes south and east, some year or another, it will be with a vengeance, and you know what that means for you interior MA snow sickos.

[vern]

At the moment, my relationship with snow is distant...disconnected...without any emotional connection...lacking in physical intimacy. 

[yoda]

Between an 8 and 9

[mattie g]

A combination of some of these, but closest to #8. I'd love to have multiple KUs every year, but I realize that's pretty far fetched except for the historic years.
