psuhoffman Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 4 hours ago, RevWarReenactor said: Still a snowier period than we are in now. There was a huge snowstorm in January 2000. DC pickup 8 inches in March one year. Even 2000-2001 is not horrible with DC picking up 2-3 inches each month from Dec-Feb. Heck even January of 2002 delivered a minor storm. At least there was SOMETHING. The only real garbage was 1997-1998, which we are basically on par with now. This is historically snowless. You are exaggerating. In that 6 year period there was 44.4”. In this 6 year period even if we don’t get another flake this winter there has been 69.2”! The only way you have a case is using a weird specific number of years you cherry picked but most importantly you include this year and assume we don’t get 2.4” more this season. Odds are we do and then what? And if we don’t then yes this was the worst 4 years stretch. But not the worst 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 year stretch. What does it mean anyways? This has just been similar to every other snow drought we have at least once every decade except the 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just got back from the car show in DC. What an amazing event (if you like cars). It was a blast and MUCH more fun than looking at depressing models. Back to being depressed in a couple house I suppose 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every car from every manufacturer was on the floor(s). Exotics were amazing but not really my thing. Had every classic mustang on display so that was great to walk through. Indoor stunt track rides for my teen son and friends. I looked at 2500 size pickups. My next truck is either a Ram 2500 Cummins diesel or GMC 2500 with the Duramax diesel. Was very very impressed with the GMC. All the big trucks nowadays have luxury interiors and tech. Just need to come up with 70 large... might be a few years... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Why is the philly sub so dead? I know many years ago on the old forums when there would be one big storm thread there were some good Philly area Mets and contributors. What happened? Just random chance or did something go down I don’t know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when we had the big debate as to whether we’d let their refugees in? I think it was a natural decay... We’ve lost some old regulars in here too the last few years. Hardly ever see zwytz or Ian anymore. But we picked up some new ones and we had more to spare maybe. Hopefully it’s not a larger trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 2016 HECS were walking through the door, I think most of the crew would be back. It gets harder to track trash long term. We’ve had some rough years. Yea...last year wasn’t bad though. DC got a 10” storm. That’s pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has just been similar to every other snow drought we have at least once every decade except the 1960s. Its not an exaggeration. We are having the worst 4 year stretch in the history of record keeping. Can't change that. Sure if you dig back to 5 or 6 years, you can use those great seasons to make a case that it isn't so bad. But it isn't really relevant. Why? Because we are talking about time in between. We are talking about a stretch of duration without. Would it matter that you drank a gallon of water a week ago, if you haven't had water since? Answer: Not a damn bit... You can't point to banner seasons 10 years ago to make a case that we've been 4 years with little snowfall which is a record smashing long period.
