mattie g Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 welcome to my world. I'm not even sharing an ob for tomorrow in this forum. If you want to know what its doing at my place, go to the PA forum, I'll be posting there. Is that ampsu666 guy back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I don't even know what to say so I deleted my last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Is that ampsu666 guy back? He's from the Philly forum, she's talking about the central PA forum which was kind enough to make some room for the northern MD posters whose climo doesn't really fit with DC (and yeah, this forum IS very DC-centric) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I know I have been frustrated and I think I made a post about it, but mine was also in jest. I think some of us were just unhappy watching the same area's get hit again that got hit the day before with snow. But oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. That's how things work around here sometimes, and we just have to accept it. We can't change the weather, no matter how angry we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Agree I like snow but if I was given a house in Manchester tomorrow I'd turn it down.

mattie g Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 He's from the Philly forum, she's talking about the upstate NY/PA forum which was kind enough to make some room for the northern MD posters whose climo doesn't really fit with DC (and yeah, this forum IS very DC-centric) Ah. Makes sense. The northern MD climate is more in line with upstate NY. Edit: I'll put a in here, just in case I'm taken too seriously. So...

snowfan Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I like the last line or two of Mattie g's post. I think that's where I fall in. I also spent a decade living in the northern area (Stewartstown PA in Southern York co.) so I can see both sides.....getting more snow than anyone else and getting the shaft. Those of us closer to the cities just have to understand that we will get our snow in nickel and dimes and the occasional big storm when conditions are just right.

H2O Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Just like everybody has said for years here, snow is sn imby event. The true satisfaction lies in what falls there. Us closer in folks have been sucking a diesel tailpipe for nearly 3 years straight with zero breaks. So contrary to the op, I won't really share in the enthusiasm of a nw winter. Or a se winter or a ns winter. I'm not bitter or immature. I just won't jump for joy everytime someone 45 minutes away from me get s nice dose while I get a muddy cartopper. We expect to get less down here. Thats normal. But virtually none isn't satisfying. I deal with it with humor. If you can't handle my jokes then don't post pics or ask a mod to ban me. Of course snow is an IMBY thing. Hell, weather is an IMBY thing. You got more snow than me on Tuesday. And all I can say is bummer but life goes on. That's all. Humor is the best way to handle it. i rather have jokes than complaining. Why do you think i make dumb maps? It's a way to poke fun at not only myself but others. I know you aren't being mean. Maybe the posts from some that only show up during winter who rub it in that they get/got more snow resonated with me lately. I'm plenty frustrated that white stuff hasn't fallen around DC the last two years but I try not to let that mess with others who have seen it.

Heck, I'm 11 miles and 15 minutes NW of you up 270 and I have ridiculously tall snow piles (nod to Jebman) and 3" of compacted snow still on the ground so I REALLY understand your pain. I'd be as dour as a sour lemon if the roles were reversed. That said, there are some thinned skinned people floating around if this is really an issue. Personally, I don't see a single one of your posts as anything other than a humor balm over the disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm never talking to anyone who says it never snows in DC again. Clearly you missed the fact that we are near climo to date. I gotta go see my shrink over this sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (meekly raises hand)Hah. Well I'm sure there are some. Nothing wrong with that but plenty of use have moved to places hat get way less snow than places we previously lived. Snow is IMBY as noted by others. Obviously we want more all the time but this whole topic is kinda silly. If it's so painful to have to get snow and have other people be "jealous" I dunno what to do for anyone in that position. I will make an effort to only friendly rib people who l know won't melt down over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thank you H20, I know this all started out as some friendly bantering but I has taken more of a personal turn after Tuesday's event. This has been a very odd December here. I want to show you all something, here at Millersville we've been keeping records of snowfall since 1926. Here are our averages. Look, 4.6 with a seasonal average of 26" very similar to the climate of FDK, IAD and the NW areas of MD. This year we've already doubled that. We're at 200% of climo! It's rare, we can't control it... why should we be ridiculed for it. We also have boom and bust winters, especially recently. I'll agree to what mapgirl said earlier, I'm afraid to even post a pic or an ob now because of fear of causing hurty hurtz. If someone wants to come up to my small apartment and sleep on the couch, that's fine but don't be mad because we're having our lucky December here. IT'S NOT NORMAL!
