As we begin evacuation of USS Snow Hole (aka: Unfortunately we Suck at Snow) we ask all to remain calm as we will shortly be handing out numbers as to your designated spot on the cliff. Afterwards please remain calm and proceed in an orderly fashion to said cliff. @WxWatcher007(aka: THE REAPER) Has kindly offered his services on your journey forward. Luscious accommodations will be provided where there is even talk he will be serving up a special home brew of his own making.

Before we proceed I would like to give a special shout out to just some of the wonderful people that make all this possible. @Ji, our 24/7 entertainment director. And WOW that was some interesting entertainment to say the least. Our co-moral counselors, @Jebman who never saw a lemon he did not like and @Eskimo Joe, who lives by the motto 'Go big or go home' and doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. On board Climate control specialist, @Vice-Regent. Was a little warm Vice, would you work on that? Statistician, @Mdecoy who never saw a number he couldn't turn on its head. Never knew Charleston, SC and DC snowfall were the same. The things we learn on these trips. Those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, and sometimes not, tidying up those unfortunate messes, @mappy, @H2O, @WxUSAF. @C.A.P.E. who provided us with the wonderful beers on board to help get us through some of the rough seas. Will that new IPA be available next go round? @George BM who was up at all hours of the night providing the platform for our next day's discussions. And I could just go on because there are just so many to name and yet time is short. So for those I have forgotten to mention my sincerest apologies. 

We of the @stormtracker Cruise Lines  and the maiden voyage of the USS Snow Hole would like to thank you for your patronage and look forward to seeing you once again next year as we unveil our new ride, The USS El Nino which will take us to the promised land. Thank you again and may your journey forward be a pleasurable one.

For those who will accompany me, @psuhoffman and @Bob Chill, please follow me there is still much to do before the ship goes down. Hmmmm... is that a threat I see 10+ days away? Maybe we should check into that.

 

Bravo, @showmethesnow!! :clap:

This was hilarious!  I think it ranks right up there with @Jebman's epic rant about New England/Boston a couple or so years back!  If we had some kind of AmWx Mid Atlantic literary award for posts, this and @Jebman would be winners!

I'm curious if snow falls in mid March during the day but nobody is there to see it....does it actually stick?

Ah, Grasshopper!  But you forget one thing:  you must have it actually snow first, before nobody is there to see it! ;)

How's that for some extra zen thoughts on a Saturday?!

Thanks. Had fun writing that up. There were so many others I could have added but I just ran out of time this morning.

FFS, I thought we dispelled the myth of snow not sticking in March?   Of course if the rates are light, it won't stick.  3k shows decent rates tho.  Ugh.

Amen!  Heck, on March 30, 2014, no less...I recall getting an inch in about an hour or so.  Right in the middle of the afternoon, when heavy rain transitioned to sleet then missile-sized flakes for awhile.  It stuck immediately because it was coming down to beat the band.  And that was on a completely rain-soaked surface.

Any time!  It was great...very clever, and very well done!  After reading some of hair-tearing posts from earlier this morning, it was a refreshing and much needed laugh!

might have to make an eagle rare shortly.  plus, i worked out earlier, so i feel less guilty about it.  interestingly, the other day i poured myself an eagle rare and was wondering why it tasted different (so i thought).  turns out it was the noah's mill that i have lol, so i then proceeded to pour myself some of the eagle and yea, it was better.

i also recently picked up some wathen's, which actually isn't bad either.  gotta watch the empty calories with this stuff tho.  it can and will add up.

Laughing reading the main storm thread. What the hell happened to everyone? PDIII??? Has to be drinking. I don't recall ever seeing that guy make a post like that. And that stupid march sun angle debate has to stop already. We know when and how it can happen or not. It's a great read though. Cheers to all! Hopefully 0z suite brings a little bit of clarity.
