Cobalt Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I found the problem folks. Last Friday I told my brother that if he stole my heater I have in my room, we would not get snow next week. I have it back, so now things will trend better and better. Guaranteed or your money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Still on my snowcation in SW PA. Got steady diamond dust level snow falling tonight. This scratches my snow itch for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Events like this usually lead to a wealth of burst pipes, sewer lines and chimney/furnace fires. Yeah...thank God for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 sewer lines generally aren't as affected like water lines are in the cold. Sewer is deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 One thing I've learned in the past week or so is that we have a lot of snow lovers here in the MA but not a lot of winter lovers. I think my forecast temps through the next week are pretty darn awesome.

Strongly agree. Much-below normal temps have become so rare that I am going to enjoy it as much as possible. At MRB in 2017, there have been 221 above-normal days and only 121 below. What's worse, 81 days have been at least +10 vs. only 14 that were -10. And 13 days exceeded 20 degrees above normal. There were no comparable below-normal departures.

usedtobe Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The weenies are restless, it was terrific pattern so they said. Now t looks like our snow chances are mostly dead. How can that be, this hobby is engendering strife. without snow, there is a hole in my winter life. The weenies are restless, they're craving some snow The models once showed it but now say no. We're left with a clipper, you no how they deliver Sometimes a dusting with a back end cold shiver. The weenies are restless with all the storm so suppressed Ji almost cancelled winter and is getting depressed. The pattern may relax in around 10 days or so, and all this week's cold offers only flurries and a dusting of snow The weenies are restless, no mega DC noreaster is on the forecast plate. Except every 10 years or so, that's our unfortunate fate. But we can take solace in that we have each other. and will be always rooting for snow for one another. Obviously I'm a tad bored with the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Todays posts all around are GREAT. All threads. This is a very enjoyable place to frequent. Funny as well. Keep up the great work and I do love the friendly debates. Saw snow from Tysons thru Haymarket 11 thru 2 or so. Nice flurries. If it snows, it snows. If not, embrace the cold and model runs!!

Cobalt Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'm sorry, did it snow last year? Snow before our true "snow season" is basically extra snow. We could easily slip into a good pattern late Jan-Early Feb, or even a pattern where we fluke a few medium events. This year has gotten off to a great start. It's already proven something that wasn't proven last year, which is that there can be sustained cold in multiple waves, not just a couple days of cold. I remain very hopeful for the next 3 months for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurojosh Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Poll idea - In the absence of snow, I would prefer that it be- (a) Colder than a winter's midnight in Antarctica during the last ice age; (b) Hotter than an a-bomb test in midday in Death Valley; (c) Hurricane season again.

That is average. This December, for all the hyperbole about epic patterns and cold, is still running AN (and below normal snow for some - Ahem!) We may sneak BN after these upcoming cold days, but it's time for some realism here; for all the bluster, this has been an "average" December. If people are happy with it, that's only because the last several Decembers have stunk so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet only about a 1/3 of our winters have above average snowfall though I haven't looked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
