Sometimes we just get "missed" relative to other areas. Just how the chips fall. Yeah but it's been a long line of misses for my area specifically, though. Like I can't remember the last one where I wasn't on an edge or squeezed out from banding. The misses of central MD north (until today for north of me). We're talking the last 9 years here.

Snowman. Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Started getting street stickage here finally north of Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Heavy graupel. Interesting. Probably a pocket of warm air aloft. But its helping with stickage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I can't remember the last one where I wasn't on an edge or squeezed out from banding. The misses of central MD north (until today for north of me). We're talking the last 9 years here. We'll probably get told to move to banter - but again - it's often "just how the chips fall" I will say - you have to consider that you live in an urban corridor. I won't have the climate change discussion here - but there's also the warming. Some of your misses will just be that it missed a lot of us and you were included. Some of the misses will be because you were just a little too warm (being in the urban corridor and/or closer to the bay), some will be because the precip slid to the south (other people will get screwed in this too). You have to keep in mind and remember that while yes - maybe your backyard has done poorly - the entire region as a whole has been in a multi-year snow slump for quite a while. Everything feels worse when it's your backyard. It's not the weather targeting your street address or even neighborhood though. I think a lot of just in our heads - obviously we care more about our backyards than any other area - so the "misses" feel personal sometimes - they aren't. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenkinsJinkies Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 So is there anything in the mid range to look forward to or is this going to be it for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonelaureliano1 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Not a flake so far at BWI maybe a pivot will give us something nice to look at before the sun goes down. Congrats to all the areas who missed out last time and scored this time. Rough hobby sometimes, I feel for the Baltimore crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s just been an incredible run of bad luck. There isn’t any reason I can see. Geography hadn’t changed. Over the long run it should even out. Eventually you’ll get some storms where you jack and dc only gets 3” and it evens out. I hope so, man. We in the city have I mean this has been going on since Jan 2019. South, NW, and one time I was between two bands from a WAA--one west and one east! Through all this I've been forced to learn how to enjoy what I get, which I guess is a positive. But just once I'd like to not have to settle and practice gratitude, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we've had it the worst, so we have more of a right to complain/vent if we wish than any other part of this sub! It won't do any good though...gratitude and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas that were a bit warm to start are getting pummeled now and it's accumulating. We just got unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
