I’m telling you. I literally spoke glowingly about a 50 degree day on a GFS run and was chastised. It feels great and no matter how this winter concludes we will all end up happy as shit on that first sunny 75° day.

Houston and New Orleans may get accumulating snow early next week.

I agreed completely, especially considering the upcoming cool down. But with the snowpack damage done  yesterday already, I can't let myself be a downer today

They changed the color on weather.gov of the "Extreme Cold Warning" which replaced the Wind Chill Warning this winter and it is eye blindingly bright lol

Ouch. Gale warnings with extreme temps. That is adding insult to injury.

This is not a snowfall graphic we see very often.

Nola with 6 would look so cool

Come mid february and were still waiting for a decent event, I'm really looking forward to Josh turd polishing this winter so far as not that bad as he references the past week of the 4-6 inches that accumulated over a 100 hour period/week of snowcover. Followed by 3 days of useless days in single digits, then rain with the next event.

[hawkeye_wx]

Man, this winter is really brutal for snow lovers.  I can't remember anything like this.  An entire winter with little to no hope of anything is astonishing.  Day after day, the ensembles out to 15 days are bone dry.

Once again. location, location and location. Yes it rained here for a bit overnight but it did switch over to snow early morning and made a slick commute. I was worried about a flash freeze after this slush-fest but with ORD -LAF- IND tabs open, I only see a slow downturn of temps and dews. Thank goodness.

Weenies in northern Alabama hoping for a wagons north has to be a weird feeling.

Wild

 

Can't remember anything like this, needs to verify

Unfortunately these southern snows rarely come through as modeled. We tend to see a northwest trend 24 to 48 hours out. Sleet is also going to cut into these totals big time. Warm advection wins.

I’ve lived through a few of them (for the “we can tell you’re new here” crew )

As do i look forward to your continuous lies and exaggerations about recent/past winters and storms (which are constantly proven wrong by me and others). It's kind of wild how it bothers you so much that I like all aspects of winter, especially since you don't even live here most of winter.

U seem very sensitive idk why

[Maxim]

This winter has been absolute trash, so ready for spring.

Lol…not hardly, just enjoy throwing it back on occasion. I will say I enjoy the back and forth especially from the many folks on here much smarter than I am. Good opportunity to learn.

Def not proven wrong. I was just saying all we got to look forward to is how you will spin this winter as avg and not that bad. I don't live up there in the winter but I wanna hop on a plane for a snowstorm lol. 6 winters in a row no flights back. Luckily I was home still in Nov 2019.

I can't "spin" a winter into anything until it's over. Snowfall and temps being avg, below, or above avg is literally not even debatable. It is either avg, above, or below. See, i like winter, so yeah im going to prefer a colder whiter winter over a warmer one, even when its not snowing as much as id like. Oh and we've had multiple warning criteria snowstorms the last 6 years (7 storms of 6"+), as has been pointed out many times.

So you complain from somewhere else about missing snow that you wouldn't see unless it was a major snowstorm? You are ridiculous.

[cyclone77]

Eagles/Rams game should be fun to watch later as the snow pours down in Philly.

Not even a major snowstorm. He has said many times he wouldn't come home for a 6-12" snowstorm. It must be nearly apocalyptic. I remember him ridiculing the 2021 storm that dropped 8-10", even though it left 12-18" of snow on the ground area wide in its wake, and now he "doesn't recall it". He actually complained about the historic 2013-14 winter. You know, the one with 94.9" of snow, record cold, and record annihalating snowdepth in the double digits for MONTHS...because no single storm had over 12". Of course, the following winter had the GHDII storm where DTW got 16.7", but that storm was ridiculed for taking too long (it was like 26 hours). Meanwhile if the east coast gets a 3-6" or 4-8" storm, no matter how long it's been.. watch out! His M.O. is clear.
