Despite all that, we made it to normal snowfall (44”) God help yinz if we ever have an 18” winter. Are you clairvoyant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting March 5-9 we will get our good storm since I'll be in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we start to deal with sun angle and short lived snow packs, but March averages as much snow as Dec. So take an average second half we are up over 30”. Then it’s just a below average winter instead of a historically dreadful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We just have to accept the fact that this just isn’t going to be our winter. If we get a lucky break and catch a storm or two that turns an abysmal winter into a just kinda crappy one, great. If not, then hopefully we can nickel and dime our way out of being historically bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'm annoyed, everybody is acting like it's the end of the world because of no snow. Saying things like next year is gonna be the same thing or we are gonna be in a stretch for the next 10 years of little snow. Meteorologists can't even accurately predict the winter season let alone the next few years. The west is getting the prolonged winter this year so why can't we develop a sustained pattern like that ever again? Rant over 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll get back to better ones. It's frustrating, but literally nothing we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The west is getting the prolonged winter this year so why can't we develop a sustained pattern like that ever again? Rant over I generally agree, Nina climo always favors a SE Ridge in Feb, this is the third year in a row for a Nina. I don't doubt warming climate / oceans hurt chances but to me this is just many different things constructively interfering with each other to produce a terrible pattern for snow in the East. The caveat I will add to this though is it remains to be seen when / whether we reach a tipping point where the warmer oceans favor tropical forcing / ridge / trough configurations that make these conditions more likely during winter. Only way to know will be to live through it, if we get a favorable ENSO state and things still look like this well then maybe its time to re-think. Went for a walk earlier and its wonderful. We can maybe make a run at 70? Just wish I wasn't at work so I could get some outdoor things done at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I’ll never understand looking forward to the stifling heat and humidity that awaits us in about 7 weeks, probably with tastes of it before then, and will likely last 4-5 months. If winter ever had as good a hold on us as summer does every single year, no one would ever have any lack of snow to complain about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own. I do agree humidity is terrible, but I do like heat. We also could have different definition of what is considered too hot.

If winter ever had as good a hold on us as summer does every single year, no one would ever have any lack of snow to complain about. For me it's just over this particular season. The winter was dull; we only got to track maybe two total events. Most were 10-day storms that disappeared after a couple model runs. There wasn't much to get excited about. Now I'd rather get some good golfing weather for the spring before the heat really sets in, rather than a continuation of fake winter. It's nuisance cold, for the most part. I'd prefer some temps between cold and hot, say 60s and low 70s with minimal humidity. Spring and Fall used to be good for that, haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I think most of us here have a common bond through weather/physical science in general, with varying degrees of preference. As long as we respect each others opinions it's all good. Sometimes feeling/intent doesn't always translate through the typed word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo74 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 This was the worst winter in memory for weather imo. At least we’ve had a nice stretch of spring weather and looks to continue through next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I didn’t even complain this winter, because honestly there wasn’t even a last minute screw job where it rained and Youngstown got a foot. We didn’t even have a winter storm watch and I’m not sure we had more than two WWA’s. as far as someone upthread was mentioning about summer. It’s sucks. If it was 85 with 40 degree dew points and we dipped into the 50-55 range at night it would be fantastic. We obviously aren’t high desert so I get incredibly tired of the endless cycle of 80-90, constant dew points 60 or higher, and not seeing a temp in the 50’s for July and august. We do not do dry heat at all here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
