Even if it's the mildest winter, it's still a winter. C'mon...we all know what he means and that it isn't literal. There's no need to put lipstick on a pig. For many in SNE it's been below normal snow and well above normal temps. IOW, a non-existent winter for your standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian, you need to let it play out. The winter severity index which was developed by some 500lb obese guy who never got laid, says it’s not so bad. Jeepers.

ORH_wxman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I was randomly looking at January stats and I believe AK had their 13th coldest January on record back to 1925 when records began. Anyone want to take a stab at which was the coldest without cheating? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 At least it’s still winter in NNE even with the pig. I remember I went up there to escape in Feb 2012. It was worse up there in 2012 vs this year, but still had full snow and ice cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has been below average in some respects but I’ve had snow in my yard since November 12, though it got down to patches at least once. It hasn’t been able build deep pack or sustain cold temps so some winter activities have been hampered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
