lookingnorth Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I keep seeing people write comparisons to this year and 11-12. For me, Winter needs 2 things: cold and snow. I would give 11-12 an "F" for cold and an "F" for snow. This year would be an "F" for snow of course, but I would say a "C" for cold. At least there has been some good (though short) cold shots, and there looks to be more. 11-12 was the worst winter ever in my book. This one isn't much better, but at least there is some cold to work with. Unlike many of you, I like cold and dry, especially if it's the only way we can get cold. Obviously I'd rather have snow, but cold is better than no cold like in 11-12. I have similar feelings about cold and snow (or lack thereof).

Brick Tamland Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Cold is pointless without snow. What can you do outside with plain cold and no snow that is fun? At least if it is warm you can enjoy doing things outside. And snow makes it fun and interesting. Plain cold is boring and useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold and dry is awesome. You can go outside in a coat and have lots of fun. Dress in layers and you will be warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Cold and snow is great. Cold with no snow just drives up my heating bill and delays the start of crappie fishing! TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little cold then what verified but within reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'll be in the ballpark with the upcoming cold then. By the way, The Weather Channel really sucks with all their stupid shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The naming storms in winter is stupid! We have all basically agreed , but they name so many every winter , nobody can keep track! I mean really, who remembers Xavier from 2013, exactly!???

mackerel_sky Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I love cold and dry! It's good for the lungs and golf! I think the ball travels farther in dry air, so there is that ! It don't really affect my bball game, I can dunk on Metal69 , in rain, snow , sleet , or shine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopplerWx Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 i love snow more than anything but when temps get <15 i enjoy it almost just as much. gives me the same sense of "weather awe" that snow does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if it is warm you can enjoy doing things outside. And snow makes it fun and interesting. Plain cold is boring and useless. We're just talking opinions here Brick. To me, cold is enjoyable, even if it's dry. I love to walk out on a bright sunny day with cold air - it makes actually feel like - gasp- WINTER! To me it is fun to have to bundle up in cold and go hiking or playing ball - don't have to worry about bugs, poison ivy, allergies, .... My wife and I also love going out on weekend nights and bundling up to get some hot chocolate! I think there's lots of fun things about cold - snow just makes it even better! Some people actually like cold you know - you seem to like snow, but not cold. But if it's not cold, you'll never get your snow! Kinda like saying hot weather is pointless without a beach. But in reality, lots of people like hot weather, and there are lots of fun things you can do , even though I personally do not enjoy it much. It's really a silly argument in the SE anyway though since our "cold" is laughable compared to much of the county. It's not like our cold and dry weather is -30 or something.

Brick Tamland Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Really sad today about the passing of Dean Smith. He was a great coach and even greater person. I grew up watching him coach the Heels and he was a hero to me. I was lucky to see the Heels play in person a lot in the 80s and early 90s. I felt this was coming soon, but I still cried when I heard the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's certainly looking like my forecast for no winter weather east of the mountains after early Nov is going to happen. No winter weather in sight right through all of this month now. Hopefully this March will be like 2012 since cold and dry is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Tor con 3 for central California today. Don't think I've ever seen that. About 4 weeks left here to avoid the shutout. This week ain't gonna get it done, so that will leave about a 3 week window. Just don't see this pattern letting go, been locked in since early December. Same ole model cycle crap to. Pump up the ridge and as we get inside 10 days start beating it down. Wash rinse repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
