Reading the "unread" threads this morning was like being trapped in Groundhog Day. Given how generally underwhelming the long range looks on both the eps and gefs for cold and snow, I would say- early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 At this point I'm fine with an above average March and April, and then a slow transition to normal then below normal for July and August. The days are getting bright and long, and this winter was like a bad investment so I'm ready to cut our losses and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we transition to a Nino and this is the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I know that most of you wanted snow. But this has been the best winter riding season since my daughter stared. With no indoor arena she is loving days like today to get some practice in without looking like the Michelin Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of folks assume that BB is a barreled version of DB, but they're supposedly different grain and hop bills. But basically BB is a bigger, richer, thicker, barreled and bourbon-y Scotch ale. DB is lighter (if still with a kick) with more prevalent caramel notes. Thanks. I will give the DB a try. One of the good places around here has that one. Drinking a Mean Old Tom Stout from Maine Beer Co. A bit hoppy, notes of chocolate and vanilla bean, but feels light and silky smooth, almost like its on nitro. Apparently the flaked oats give it that characteristic. Lots of lacing. Outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally gave up mentally. Acceptance the winter is just not going to produce. Actually skipped looking at the last two sets of models. Hoping next year is different.

I'm pretty much reaping weenie souls nonstop at this point. I hope SNE gets another blizzard while we're 42 and windy. And then it happens again.

How's life treating you and the family? I am doing pretty good, thanks for asking. I have been picking up a lot of sub jobs at my daughter's school and by the time I get home and get dinner done I am spent for the day. Sorry to hear that you were laid off. That is never a good place to be. I am sure that you will find something soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I guess we will enjoy our wind Monday. Its gonna be boring around here. Dont really feel like cheering for other regions snow storms. Maybe we get lucky and fluke into something. Either way is fine. We, in this sub-forum, are well aware of our climatology and can easily deal with a relatively snowless season. Have a great weekend everyone. Wxwatcher, keep your head up. Something will come around the bend soon enough. Don't give up and leave town. You will find something. Just hang in there.

MN Transplant Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 8th time in over 100 years that Minneapolis has no snow on the ground on this date. So, we aren't alone in a lame winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
