I'd have to go back and look to see when it snowed that winter. I do remember starting spring cleanup in mid February. That was around when all the toilet paper disappeared, lol. Wasn't all that long ago but it seems like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ice skate just ran around like a nut seeing how far I could slide. I think someone did fall through and that was the end of that. Now they have 2 big geysers throwing water in the air so it won't freeze and in the summer it will keep water moving so it won't get all stagnant... 31F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I think my parents have pictures from those 70s storms and 83' but who knows where they are? Ya know, the days where you had to take the film to Kmart and get developed.

ChescoWx Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Welp if we don't have the cold....at least for those that love snow we just experienced the 2nd snowiest decade ever in the 2010's.....and the last 2 decades have been top 4 all-time snow decades!

What a weird time that was. I was working my first full-time, outdoor gig, having been hired on right before all the lockdowns. Apparently folks involved in environmental remediation were somehow considered "essential personnel". For two months, I enjoyed practically zero traffic on my way down to southern NJ and back each day--I remember it being cold up until late in the month of May, and then all of a sudden it was 70°F and I was sweating in the Tyvek. Weird, wild times. Speaking of cold weather, my grass is crunchy this morning. Still kinda hoping we see some flurries or something tomorrow or Saturday, but it looks like that chance is waning. Still, at least it's properly cold for this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Another pattern headfake alert. Already seeing signs of the better ens looks in early Jan becoming flawed. Colder/seasonable? Sure. Sustainable pattern change? Nope. Rolling over on itself and reloading. The Jan thaw this year will be beach wx with all these mid and full lat ridges in the East flexing from the SER. Beat it down for a day or two then flex on roids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
