It probably has more mixed and ice potential than big snow potential. Awesome winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats today for sure In this region, you kinda have to tolerate some mixed events, especially if you're in the coastal plain. As zwyts once said a few years ago, DC would probably have a single digit snow average if it weren't for those messy, mixed events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like going for a stroll or run and having some wolves stalk you. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/solving-our-deer-problem-the-natural-way/2013/12/20/a98ebc3a-6838-11e3-ae56-22de072140a2_story.html?hpid=z4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take plain old rain over an ice storm, and I can tolerate sleet as long as its transitional. Basically I am content with rain rather than slop if its not the right pattern for a snow event.

It's like mowing the lawn with a tractor but exponentially cooler. It felt ridiculous waking into the parking lot in the mid 70's holding hockey skates. What a stoopid first day of winter.

I woulda jumped in the thing, dropped the clutch, and pulled a hole shot all the way to 5mph. I played from 8-12 but didn't take it serious enough. My old azz held onto some skating skills though.

Another was getting on the ice to 'scrimmage' with 10-12 year old travel league 'kids' with only a helmet, skates and a stick.....took a month for the slash across my shin to heal.

GATECH Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 WTF...who kidnapped me and took me to Florida for Christmas. My wife woke me up at 7 and said my weather station had to be busted because the outside temp was 70. Was just walking the dog and really did feel like Florida, kinda had that tropical soft pinkish sky and a nice breeze. Frozen daqaris during football later.
