I recall you saying you'd be happy with 12 and you dont need to be the jackpot. But deep down I knew that wasnt true, you wanted that ****ing jackpot. Its what we all want. Story of my life. WE dont spend 10 days watching a storm for an average outcome, we want the ****ing JACK!!! Because that's the payoff, we watched it and it happened to US! Not to them!! ****ing them! They are all us but we are people and people are selfish, deep down. IT's like rooting for any team. WE expend a lot of energy in hope and not everyone gets the fruit of that hope. But when you do, it oh so ****ing sweet. We cant all have it at the same time. If we did all get it every time it wouldnt be so sweet really. Or else we'd all live near Mt Baker where it's sweet more often than not. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that I didn't need to jackpot, which was true. I said I'd be okay with like 20". These totals were always a disappointment in my book 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I explicitly said that I was scared to death of getting "Boxing Dayed", which dropped a foot of drifted baking soda on me. That is precisely what happened here. I was never okay with that...in fact, I detested the potential so much, I made a verb out of that analog. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Well I just finished the cleanup-leaving my car for tomorrow-snowblower back where it belongs and batteries charging.

Man, I figured your location had 18". Definitely tight range on the more epic bands. Still though, 12" is nothing to sneeze at. I'd kill for a storm that big, last double digit here was Dec 2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I wonder if we were even aware of some of the differences before the internet. As a kid, I wanted deep cover, enough packed snow for sledding, and no school. Whether I had 8 or 20 inches didn’t matter but it does now. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep SNE is the new climo for snow. You know, I brought this up to Scott and Will via text a couple of weeks ago...I know you are joking, but I have theory that there really is some sort of shift due to global warming. With higher SSTs, we could be seeing coastal fronto becoming more prevalent, which is going to bury areas like me, just inland from the coast. You can only laugh it off for so long... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
