I merely stated that even if the pattern is not so great for a majority of the upcoming winter ( speculation ) all you need is a decent winter like period of say, several weeks, with multiple snows to mentally check off the winter as a decent one. It really is all about perceptions at times. No doom and gloom was intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't punt to the last week, but I'd punt to the middle of the month after the weekend threat...because of history alone! Only once in 140 years of records did the cities get a major storm (warning level at least) between Dec. 25th and mid-January: and that was January 1996. So it doesn't usually happen for the corridor, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our new fruited sour's w/lactose have been a huge hit (we currently have a Blackberry/Cranberry version on tap, and next week we will have a Mango/Guava version along with a Raspberry/Cherry version). We're proud to be the top West Virginia brewery on untapped. See https://brilliantstream.com/2019/12/wv-breweries-untappd-2019/ and we have a new pub opening outside of Charleston this coming spring. This whole brewery thing has not only been fun, but rewarding enough for me to be closing my law firm at the end of this year (I'll still be involved with a title company doing closings, but another step away from the rat race). You only live once, so doing what you love to do instead of what you have to do is what has driven me to reach this point. Anyway, we hope to see some of you out this way soon, if not for the snow, at least maybe some beer. Or both? If I'm around I would certainly hook up any member here with a free libation! Cheers! I had to give you a weenie because because you’re obviously a beer geek like some of the rest of us. I can’t wait to hear about how that stout turns out. The sours sound awesome, too (even if I’m an anti-lactosian ). I’d really love to get out there sometimes. Congrats on the successes and the ability to expand your business to the point of, as you said, leaving the rat race! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 5, 1980 was a 4-8" storm. January 7-8, 1988 was generally 6-8". December 27-28, 1990 was 5-8". There were others, like January 2, 1925 (6-10"), and December 26-27, 1909 (8-12") and quite a few more that were 3-6" storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get bummed when winter holidays are warm as long as I can see winter returning not too far down the road. Maybe we're tracking a legit event come Christmas.

But to be frank it seems like there is always some sort of warning sign, something that fights us. Sometimes they come to fruition, sometimes they disappear, sometimes they are brief, sometimes they are long. I would say that it has just been the last three days that it has become completely apparent that you could avoid the signs only by being in denial and intellectually dishonest. By the way, what is HH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I think Maestro is right. We’ve all been here before. It’s highly likely that the warmup has legs and takes us through January before we can change the pattern. Likely will be February before we can get anything meaningful. By then we start to battle the sun and length of day which takes us into our March snows that usually amount to a drip fest. It’s disappointing I know. Just have to live with it. Maybe next winter can deliver the goods. Better enjoy this event tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
