Waiting on snow Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Dunkman said: Built up frustration? I haven’t had more than a glorified dusting since 2018. It sucks. Exactly. I haven't had snow on the ground since 2018. Its almost 2021! That's ridiculous. And the 1st half of January looks like shit. And after that La Nina doesn't exactly scream a backloaded winter.

magpiemaniac Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 To the mid-Atlantic’s forum’s credit, they have chatter going even when the pattern sucks. We clam up and go silent. Maybe we’re all out doing yard work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to be fiercely loyal, so I haven’t even started an account over there. Quality over quantity I suppose. Not that I’m personally involved in quality mind you.

magpiemaniac Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I’ve resolved that I’m not going to fret. I’m convinced that March will come through for us with a featherlight dusting on the mulch. It’s going to be incredible. I’ll post photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Chattanooga was a different story.) I’ve always ended up with at least a little something and several winters were pretty nice for snow lovers here. Last winter was the closest I came to zeroing right up until that March mini-snow. I’m holding out for a couple of late January to mid-February 3” snows. We’re due.

Tacoma Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 well next week, the first week of the new year looks boring but I'll take those temps if it's not going to snow. I thought I would edit this, the next two weeks look horrible for snow lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamouslyHot Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Eh we have plenty of 2 week periods that look bad for snow, at least this one has some promise on the horizon. I know there's often a metaphorical carrot dangling in front of us with the projected pattern, but I can't help but get excited because this is a BIG carrot. SSW event with a -NAO, +PNA and no southeast ridge is a blockbuster pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very active at the moment but I imagine it'll pick up as the season starts. Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated. I think our crappy winter is all my fault, folks. It started last winter with my buying a whole-house generator. Then I topped off the propane tank to start this season. Then I bought a new weather station. It’s been a Zzzzzzzzzzzzz snooze fest around here ever since. Boring as can be. If I can get rid of the generator, burn through the propane, and stop model watching, I’m pretty sure that we can land a decent snow for all of us. I’m sorry. I just need to be unprepared.

jpbart Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Snownado said: A blockbuster pattern for many, maybe. For Columbia ? Probably not. Well that is likely very true. I have had to adjust my thinking about winter. A cold fall is not cutting my grass in December. A cold winter is pulling the heavy coat out of the closet for 3 days in a row. Winter weather is a cold rain and a frosty windshield the next morning. Getting snow is like putting a fresh pair of jeans on and finding $20 in the pocket you didn't know you had. Doesn't happen often, you didn't get much, it will be gone before you know it, but it made your day anyway. When our crappy winters get me down, I just drink a glass of bourbon and enjoy not cutting the lawn that week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be funny when we get a 60 page storm thread that devolves into observations including the terms “ripping” “fatties” then actually seeing pics of someone’s car topped and white trash cans and someone claiming they got an inch somewhere in the sub forum, ahh winter in the SE page 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the worst place for snow in NC. Rockingham. We always find ways, miss mostly north and west, then we miss East on coastal storms, then southern sliders to the south.
