WxUSAF Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah, but to be fair, it isn't just this subforum. Not sure why people expect a wall to wall winter...with November and March tossed in, every year. Hence why I said "the board". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Almost a year on this board, but still....it wasn't this bad last year. It was pretty bad early last winter when the colder burbs kept getting slammed while the cities sometimes missed out.... then it got better later and especially in February and March.

packbacker Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Relax? From what? Good point, it's taken about 10 days to get day 15 "good look" to day 12. So by that calculation we will have a good patten by.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I totally know its not realistic, as it almost never happens, climo, etc...but I love a moderate mid-late Dec snow. Nothing to do with Xmas or holiday spirit junk as I am not into that, just something about the feel of snow around the Solstice, with the really low sun angle.

Dec makes the winter for me for this reason, in addition to enhancing the Christmas season. It's our best chance to keep a lasting snowpack w/o the ravaging effects of the sun. In 2012, we kept snow cover for over a week with the temps barely ever crossing into sub-freezing territory. I'd trade an entire winter for a good December... in a second. Give me 6" of snow immediately followed by Dec '89 temps and I'd trade several entire winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given past history, getting the scenario you describe does in fact trade several entire winters. Unfortunately we can't choose which one hits and the subsequent 3 that suck. Since last year was a hit then we should have known where we were heading this winter back in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I still think we (and yes, I do mean we as in all of us) have a shot at above normal snowfall this year... as far as I know, the most favorable month in El Ninos tends to be February. People are panicking because December has been mild and we're getting a rainy Christmas? There will probably be a nice setup in early January, and who knows what will happen later...

Bob Chill Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Since the winters of the great late 70's, DCA has only hit climo once (99-00) without banking at least 1" during Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 btw although December snow is nice, there's no way in hell that I'd trade a few December snowstorms for several entire winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
