Ian Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Writings on the wall folks... Whether its large scale climate change or short term cycles, we no longer have climo for snow, period. Not sure two poor winters is a good enough reason to pull that trigger. I mean we've had a lot of them in the 2000s but who knows. Some was bad luck and close hits.

87storms Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 As the year has worn on, I've begun to adopt a new philosophy. It seems to me that looking beyond about 3 days has way more down side than up. One, it makes the winter months fly by, two, it is frustrating as this storm has shown, three, with only a few exceptions, the models have demonstrated very little skill at 5+. I really think next year, I'm going to discipline myself to only look to about three days. I think the season will be much more enjoyable that way. It's been awfully painful doing it this way. too much chaos in the atmosphere, too many variables, too much science that we don't know much about for the models to be very accurate past a few days especially for the more high maintenance patterns.

It'll be great to have "punt the next two decades" posts mixed in with the JV punters who can't quite stomach a 20-year punt like you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think having snow to our south and mega storm to our north has led to the punt mentality. Richmond, Roanoke, new snow capitals of VA? Yeah, it hurts.

MidlothianWX Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 My kids have gone sledding more times in Williamsburg than here at home in NoVa I was reading the diary of William Byrd in class the other day. When he began to describe his sleigh-ride adventures in ++SN near Williamsburg I nearly slammed the book shut in frustration. No mention of IP or ZR either. What a lucky guy.

usedtobe Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 We just need to gut it out through a few more cold rains and warm rains until we get to Winter Storm WESley. What storm is that, hopefully not the feb 22 threat as it still is in la la land despite me semi liking the set up but thinking that the primary would track towards the OH valley if there actually is a storm.

mattie g Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Robins stick around all year in most of the lower 48. They flock in winter, then become more territorial as breeding season begins in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
