Screwed to me is if you get zero and 3 miles away gets accumulating snow. If many towns get 15” and you get 8-9”.. that is not screwed Expand If that keeps happening, though, its frustrating....that is how a spot like mine goes several years without sniffing normal, while much of the region doesn't.

WinterWolf Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 There was also a TON of great music in the 80’s too. In fact, the 80’s is considered one of the great music decades, along with the 50’s as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't really have a signature period where we were solid cold....even some past rats have had that like Jan 2000 or even Feb '95....this year we couldn't sustain anything. January could've been exceptional had that BGM-track storm on 1/17 been a further east track like might happen the other 99 times out of 100 we simulate that pattern. Then it would've been basically been from 1/7 until month-end of snow/cold combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
