North Balti Zen Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 The Miller B wars of 2022 exacted a deadly toll. 15 dead. 74 injured. 167 missing. Those who survived it can't speak of it to this day without drifting into an uncomfortable silence, broken only by the sound of their weeping. Coming up on 60 Minutes...B...the letter that kills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing the very intelligent people in the forum saying how 95% of the time this setup doesn't work out great west of the bay yet everyone seems to just be burying that and desperately hoping for the 5% chance it defies odds. I'm a very rational person and I just can't go against what looks to be an overwhelming likely outcome. It's been looking like from the beginning that this setup screams something huge for someone up in the New England area. I feel bad for saying this but honestly I can't enjoy 2-4 inches if I know NJ, NYC or Boston is getting 2-3 feet. It's just too bitter. It honestly makes me a little sad when I go in the storm thread because I know how desperately everyone wants the big one, and I also think with it looking more and more evident that at least the beginning of February will start mild and possibly stormy/rainy, the pull of desperation is getting pretty intense. It is never fun to be on the outside looking in, and when HECS totals are so close by then it feels like you're being ripped off. Years ago I used to melt down over it but now I just focus my mind on other things when that happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we just need a reality check - my dad's in the hospital with a blood infection. Kind of puts things in perspective (he'll be okay - they caught it in time!). Honestly maybe the best thing for some of you is to miss out on this storm completely as a reality check (not directed at you @mappy). Sorry... Snow is very important. Probably too important for some. Just keep scrolling when it happens, that's what I do. Enjoy the snow you get and that's all that matters. Sorry to hear about your dad, but glad they caught it early, hope he is on the road to feeling better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean - I get into ruts when it doesn't snow too. We are missing snowstorms, my Packers are out of the playoffs...but hey - I've got a job and two good doggies that are hyper balls of energy. Ultimately the world is going to unfold as it's going to. People need to take the @Bob Chill approach more and just let things be as they are.

Would you designate a certain amount of days you'd be okay with being stuck wherever you go? I ask because I have three days off from work starting on Saturday, and I'm partially considering driving to the coast if it looks much better setup, but if they do get buried, I'd have the concern of being stuck there. It all depends where you go and what kind of vehicle you're in. If you have an elevated four by four truck you can pretty much conquer anything. But if you only have 3 days I wouldn't go any further then a hundred miles or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scrolling finger is going to get a workout...I also hate muting people...because often times even the awful posters sometimes are nice to interact with in the off season. I don't have a single person muted. Snow is DEFINITELY a mood booster - but there's too many other more important things to let it burn bridges on a weather forum.

I’ve chased snowstorms many times over the years and have never really been stranded for more than a day, or two at the most. I generally try to position near major highways, which is certainly easier if it’s a spot near the coast or near cities and not mountainous areas. I have a decent 4x4 truck and I carry most of the implements to dig out if necessary. if it did end up being like that famous photo of the cars buried on the interstate in NE in ‘78, I guess life would just have to wait on me to return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't keep up. As a weenie, I'm enjoying the Euro but in all reality my best case REALISTIC expectations around Baltimore are some snow on Friday, maybe 1-3 inches and then getting scraped by the backedge of the coastal snow Saturday. I have no expectation at all for anything more than 6 inches at best(if the coastal throws enough juice back here), but just knowing how these scenarios typically play out and how the setup looks I have no expectation for a crazy big outcome.
