December Banter Thread 2


H2O

Recommended Posts

Really, the only place where 09-10 falls short of being the ideal winter is that it was never actually cold.  The low temp for the winter at DCA was 16.

I agree, just went looking for my last - number. It was 2/8/10 at -2. But even with

Dec/Jan/Feb being big - departures for that year, that was the only - number. Had

several single digit readings though.

lol,  I'm liking the heatwave.  Tomorrow I'll be golfing.    If we truly get a negative AO,  I'll turn into Bob,  gosh that's a scarey thought.

 

Winter golf is great.  It's cheap and there aren't many people out, so you can get a round in pretty quickly.  The main problem is that there aren't any cart girls providing beverages for a small fee.

I do miss the cart girls and beverages.  Have to do with plain old water and trusty nutterbutters.

Great shot!

 

Thanks!  That was a fun storm, the first "big one" we got here in the DC area since PD-II.  In some ways I think it was a bit overshadowed in the wake of the back-to-back February storms.

 

 

Seems surreal looking back now. Memories...

Nice!!!  Yeah, it does seem surreal.  It is kind of hard to believe it was 4 years ago, time seems to go faster as you get older I guess haha!

Looking back at snowfall data for Baltimore........

 

The consistency at which Baltimore received snowfall on an annual basis pre-1970 is amazing. From 1883/1884 to 1969/1970 there were 63 seasons with at least 17" of annual snowfall. Since then, there have only been 17 such seasons. Going back to the earlier dataset....more than 20 seasons with at least 30". I sure hope we can flip the switch and get back to these times. I would much rather have 4 straight 20" seasons than 1 60" season followed by 3-4 in a row with less than 10".

I will take four years of 20+ inches followed by a 60+ inch year and then more 20+ myself...

If you find a place that gets that with a 7-11 nearby then I'm moving there today

Just saying. I am starting my negotiation with the snow gods at an extreme position. I want the celestial compromise on my side of the scales.

You need to move. History says you're never getting that in your area.

I will say that good snow areas are only a short drive away. Many of us are only a 3 hr drive from areas that avg > 100". Maybe we just need to frequent Jon jons inn more often and give the man some business.
