NorthArlington101 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Save the money for a trip to a place that actually gets snow.I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’d like snow nearly as much in a place that gets it usually. It’s sorta important it feels like home. But I might change my mind under a lake effect snow band in the future! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost like living beach year around…unsure I could truly appreciate the good moments if my favorite times became the norm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Come this time tomorrow, I'll either be in the RIC area (preferably west end, which tends to do better climo speaking), or staying right here at home. Either way, with another Niña year, if I have to chase for snow, so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes--I mean it's something that can put ya in awe while simultaneously driving you nuts, lol (especially for us snow lovers) I mean it is like the most intricate machine with so many moving parts that can all influence each other in many different ways. And then you have things on the macro...and then the micro with what happens during each storm. It's pretty incredible! Ya know, people always quip about how they'd "love to have a job where I can be paid to be wrong half the time"...not realizing how much goes into making those predictions! The above...THAT is where the expertise of meteorology come in: trying to make sense of all the moving parts, and put that into a 2-3 minute forecast, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I think I’ve finally accepted it doesn’t make sense to leave my family vacation and spend $600 for a DC snowstorm where anything can and has gone in the past. Might need to delete this app for my own sanity tho. Good luck everyone, relying on you guys for measurements. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thank you for your sacrifice as I said in the panic room thread, if you want to leave a tip for me summoning this storm, I’m happy to send people my Venmo handle. You can just go directly to my Twitter profile and tip me there! /s Anyway, here is a nice tropical photo. I’m having a great time.
