Expand Agreed. If there’s some snow OTG, I’ll def take cold and dry. At least it feels like winter out there with snow and ice all around and seeing all the ponds/lakes frozen here. Last two winters felt like fooking Vancouver…40s and rain every 3 days. Awful. But if it’s bare ground, I dunno…might take the warmth, but I really hate rain too. The “ideal” torch winter is prob very dry like ‘01-02. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, up north a lot of places do well in upslope and leftover lake effect in cold/dry patterns. The upslope zones have been basically nature’s snow guns for the last few weeks.

weatherwiz Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It seems like this winter has been dragging…just cold and boring. At this point I’m just ready for late spring/summer. I wish we could get front loaded winters. By mid-to-late February I’m really ready for late spring. If this is an awful spring it’s going to be a grueling haul moving into Summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a return to the Gypsy moth Expand 2023 I saw several gypsy tents. But it seems the 1980s when I was growing up we had a LOT more of them. I remember my grandfather smearing grease around the trunks of his trees and torching any nests that developed. Almost an every-year event.

Torch Tiger Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 TBH some of my favorite winter memories were skiing Cannon in the 80's. Of course the wind is usually up at the summit, even on more subdued days. Snowmaking was rather primitive then and they're trying to blow snow near Avalanche, but it's blowing wayyy over Paulies folly and evaporating/gone into the air. Maybe some trees were caked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 As a weather geek, I find it amazing what transpired yesterday in the deep south. Parishes in New Orleans got 6"+ of snow and parts of N Florida had 4-8" of snow with some wind swept powder. Incredible. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
