I’m careful about it though I’m kinda vulnerable to substances. Treating Aspergers and ADHD does offer some protection from alcoholism however, but only because I have willpower. I’ll try not to bring up climate shifting again here. But I really hope we get a cool inch or two shortly. That stuff out west makes me jealous. How often I have lived out there when the ridge was always over us in recent decades. They called it a “Rex Block”. Rex Block was my nemesis at the height of my snow crazed teenage years near the Sierra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really funny when I first read it. I think four weeks of epic can go a long way to making a season. It can certainly bring back a season on the brink, as we’ve seen in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz 2015 sucked until January 27th, and then it went absolutely bazurk. So you’re wrong again. I don’t recall 2015 being all that amazing here….it wasn’t 2011 bazurk that’s for sure….

Don’t get me wrong I do love good storms on their own but over the years have grown a big fan of the more elusive wire to wire pack- the more the better…..still trying to break the all time depth of 30” in late Jan 2011…..it was just so amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we didn’t convert our first possession, and have to punt. But there’s 14:30 seconds to go in the first quarter. Should we all give up and walk off the field after 30 seconds? The mood can change in a literal flash. If it were March 1st, I’d absolutely agree with you. But it’s 12/22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean one storm after another after another and almost all of them were snow. Not only that, the season got started early. Mid-November 2004 a cool 8 inches was dumped on providence. I know sometime in the 2010s might have beat that one… but it was a close comparison I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks just need to understand that there is a seasonal lag, so on average you don't get the harshest winter weather during the solstice in the mid latitudes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good Feb into March has happened some years and those have been good too. You might have to move in with Phin or PF to get what you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes absolutely. Same thing in the summer…rarely is it blazing HHH on a regular basis in mid June. Maybe we should say the summer sucked on 6/22/20 cuz we had no 90 degree days, and it was cool and damp. Then July-September of 2020 walks in the door! Dam how that summer season changed its tune quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowcrazed71 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 There's going to be a lot of desperate comments on here, at least until we have something that looks promising for at least a decent snowfall. At this point, looks like we wait until after the New Year. Enjoy the holidays y'all. It will Snow, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
