So many of us in SNE should wake up to snow OTG Sunday morning with some 1” amounts and a bit more in spots. Then a couple 1-4” events next week. Better than what we’ve had since Dec 17th

Glad to see your optimism creeping back in to the discussion.  Not a perfect pattern but should get more interesting.

There’s not gonna be a big one at all. But if it can snow lightly every couple days.. there’s very few here who wouldn’t welcome that . When you are without something you love for so long, yearning makes the heart grow fonder.

If its the vintage 2015 nickles and dimes that you called for, then count me in.

2015 and you went on to shit on me like you are this year. Yet this year you had your kids sledding on 3 inches. City folk

Where do you get the idea of shitting on you? Same with my hate for NNE when I posted about the ski areas doing well. Are you alright?
