Heisy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I was 14 at the time, freshman in high school. March 3-5 2001. First year of my life learning to look at the models & on weather boards. We know what happened. After that storm I suffered my first case of post-winter/storm depression. My name is Brett, I'm a weatherholic. You spring lovers make me sick.

Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd be depressed if we weren't already tracking a potential d10 hecs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm good as long as I have something to track. I satisfy my weather junky cravings with severe and hurricane seasons. I make do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's not all bad. Severe weather days start in about 45 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 i definitely get the letdown after a snowstorm because it's a high. i like being outdoors wearing a t-shirt, not 3 layers, not to mention short days, so snowstorms add a pick me up during winter. when it's not snowing and it's cold, winter just isn't as fun.

Juliancolton Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's meteorological spring, so there's just one full season between us and autumn. Additionally, the summer solstice is only 76 business days away; after that, nights grow longer and winter is on its way. We can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've loved the last 19 days so much and having 2 solids in a row, I'm not sure anything can make me depressed. 20+ inches of snow, 2 ice events, non stop cold, lots of tracking and full coverage on the yard makes me giddy. I kinda ready to warm up and enjoy spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I love snow. And severe. Unfortunately I'm not in the right spot for severe. Certainly looking forward to warmer weather. Great end to winter!!! Enjoyed it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying up until 1 for the euro and waking up at 6:30 for school is taking its toll. ETA: Will probably stay up for the 0z Euro at least until Mid-April, desperately hoping for one last snow.

CAPE Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The only depression I get this time of year is attributed to the realization that everything is going to come to life in a few weeks, which means work. Bugs, grass, weeds, friggin moles. Cant wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm ok with another event, if..............it's a much below normal cold. If it's a 32 degree, night snow, with temps the next day of 40.......I hope it fails. I, too, am ready for warmth. A WinterWxLuvr can't enjoy winter weather like some can unless the temp is well below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv_poor Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have loved snow all my life which is a very long time as I am proably older then most people on this board. Yet, when I get cabin fever and go out to my my golf club and eat lunch with my golf buddies and stare out at the driving range or fairways buried in snow, I do get a slight twinge for spring.

IrishStorm Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The worst part about the end of winter is that spring starts. I love the change of seasons but spring/allergy season is just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I can't wait for raging thunderstorms. Then I'm on the hurricane hunt this year. I'm saving a week vacation just in case one decided to coming rolling in somewhere within 400 miles, maybe 500 miles if it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The most depressing part of this storm is tomorrow is our last day to enjoy it without a drip, drip, drip. Not looking forward to the lows above freezing next week. bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm one of those that loves all snow....if it's just falling from the sky I love it. I moved here to get a few more inches of snow per year than where I used to live. The big storms are awesome...the mid size ones are awesome...the light ones are awesome...the non sticking ones are awesome...snow is snow... This winters memory for me is the extended snowcover days...it has felt and looked like winter for weeks now...fabulous!! Since moving to Leesburg I've experienced 3 spectacular winters an 89" a 65" and so far a 35" season including back to back 30"+ 11/12 was really the only stinky stinky...a few other years had some horrid stretches but also featured a once in a lifetime event February 06 for an example. I love winter...I love all seasons really but winter gets me excited the other seasons I simply enjoy...not 90 degree 70 dp weather though unless I'm on the beach.. Ok ....one more event!!!! Or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The prospects for winter snow helps me get over the end of autumn and the T-day to Christmas holiday season. Then it is the promise of fall that gets me through the spring and summer. When I was young I looked forward to spring and summer as opportunities to get outside and play b-ball... hang-out, go to the pool.... Now that those things are mostly behind me, it's a struggle to make it through Mar - Aug. I get by with the prospects of playing outdoors with my daughter, chasing and catching fireflies with her on June nights, being able to take her to the pool when I get the chance, the chance (like last summer) for a comfortable summer evening on the patio, July 4th festivities, and the opening of NFL camps which lets me know that IT is coming.... and then that grocery store trip where I see the first cases of Octoberfest in the cooler.... the locusts start to turn orange..... I notice that the sun is not fully over the horizon when I leave for work in the morning....My entire being begins to buzz with excitement....

PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The worst part about this is that now we are really overdue for a string of mundane winters or even a blowtorch like 11-12... we're so far out ahead of long-term averages now... On the other hand, we are kinda overdue for a good December at least. The last five have been terrible. Maybe we could get a front-loaded winter next year.
