This is hilarious. They're gonna have to backtrack.

We need our own sub, they're showing their asses in the main thread yet again. It's not the Stone age this side of the Bay bridge..

There’s another thread discussion that’s been made for northern tier counties… as if dominating 90% of the main thread wasn’t enough for them already. I’m all for balkanization of the Mid-Atlantic subforum. :lol:

That's just hurt feelings and sour grapes on their part lol. We all know that eventually the universe is going to even out and they're going to get a storm where they get 20 in of cold powder while we all get 40° driving rain. They always say "oh know your climo", like we don't know it already. That's why I do treasure every storm that we do get probably appreciated even more than they do because I know that 99% of the time we do fail.

I think it’s safe to say that anyone in this forum knows that snow is fickle and appreciates anything they get. Ji being one of the exceptions, of course.

Regardless, I do read your thread and am always happy when that area gets big snow. It’s exceptionally pretty on the bays and creeks.

Agreed. Check out this photo from the sand at Rehoboth in the last storm. People were building snowmen on the boards.

My only real complaint with some of them is that they actually don’t know the climo. For example, Prince Frederick averages about 19” of snow seasonally, which is about the same as BWI. Same for Charles County and parts of St. Mary’s. Granted, I’m slightly climo+ this year and don’t expect that to hardly ever occur, but it also wasn’t normal to average 0-2” year after year like we have recently. I mean this isn’t supposed to be Miami- we do snow here occasionally, sometimes a lot. So there was a lot of normalizing the recent bad years as if that’s always how it’s “supposed” to be down here.

Do treasure every storm, because the long term trend (i.e. the “elephant”) in the coming years is still probably not anyone’s friend.

Amen to that. I think the average at GED is about 12". I'm probably a hair over that this year. I don't obsessively measure like I used to, but the last storm was about 6", and the big January one was 8-10"ish
