Worst winter I remember in a long time. I see a trend here. I have said this same thing every year the past 4 years. Sure we got a dusting that was gone as soon as it ended. But there has literally been nothing to even watch this winter. That is even worse than the few we had the last 4 years. I need to move North or just quit worrying about it. Not sure why I keep checking here daily hoping to see something.

Lets be real here. CAE is not a great place for Winter weather. I know it seemed like we used to get it so much more, but in reality big storms just aren't all that common around our parts as a whole.

I understand that, but until recent years one good sleet fest or 2-3 inch snow a year was pretty likely. Even if it was gone the next day. And there was always something to watch in Jan-Feb even if nothing came of it. Now we dont even have anything to watch. That is all.

The pacific hates us.
 
2000-2005 was good for us and 2010-2014 was pretty good. I hardly remember any decent snow events in the 90s, I think we only got an inch for the 93 storm.
 
I think my problem is that I get on this board too much. One minute everybody is acting like we are headed for a great pattern, the next minute is gloom and doom. Maybe if we had a rule of not talking about anything past 5 days it wouldn't be that way.
 
With the exception of that brief cool spell and winter event in early Jan, this winter is like a carbon copy of the 11-12 winter. This winter may end up even warmer !

Not exactly. There was wintry weather in Georgia this year. In 2011-12, I remember none at all.

Anyone who is looking at the upcoming threat should realize that temps lately have been too warm in areas, and for the 4th day now thee forecast has busted. Take everything with a molecule, not grain, of salt. Nothing is set in stone and cold may come.

I'm getting so desperate this winter that I'm getting excited for the recent gfs and euro runs that show me getting a few flurries around midnight tonight. Lol

I honestly didn't know it was possible to get as little snow as I have gotten this season. I understand that I don't live up north but every winter season for the last 10 years during even the worst winters I've gotten multiple snows of at least a half inch to an inch and multiple dustings. Now something could change but it's not looking good. So if I don't get anything else besides wet Fluries I will have had one dusting and a few flurries this entire winter. Also to add insult to injury I'm going to have to cut my grass for the first time ever in February.

I refuse to cut the grass in February. I have a rule that the earliest I will cut the grass is March 1st. In the 11-12 winter I nearly broke my rule but I decided to wait until the first few days of March. Generally though, I have a tradition of beginning grass cutting season on the first day of spring.

I usually can go until late march and have even gone as late as early April without cutting the grass. But this year I started getting weeds that grew in January. And the rain and warm temps this week and they are growing even more to the point I'm definitely going to need to cut the grass before march.
 
I like to wait til April. It doesn't always work out(2012) but it seems like once you start mowing the grass grows even faster. Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere so I can get away with a shaggy yard much longer. :)
 
As far as actual winter storms go, this winter sucks. I remember last winter folks were talking about we should be entering a period of active winters based on the pattern of how our winters usually go, but it doesn't look like that is the case. We can't even depend on patterns and indices that gave us lots of winter storms in the past. It just doesn't work that way anymore.
 
For the record I hate dook! Ugh tough night

I guess at least this winter we're not going to have to worry about the "snow dome" or "snow hole" whichever one it's called. We're ALL sucking this year.
 
All the Heels had to do was hit free throws and guard half the threes Duke hit that were wide open shots. I never understand why Carolina has such a hard time guarding the three. Roy is stubborn and tells them to help off the man they are guarding when the other team drives, leaving shooters wide open for the kick out and three. I don't know why they do that when the only chance the other team has to win is to hit a bunch of threes. It's harder these days for a guy to take his man to the basket for two than for shooters to hit wide open threes.

I saw someone in one of the northeast forums say yesterday something like, "well I'm not liking such and such, but if I can get double digit snowfall I guess I won't complain much." Really......double digit snowfall is just okay??

I've never been a Roy fan, he gets out-coached all the time.... he has never focused on defense instead he intends on winning by out running other teams. Problem is if your having an off night shooting the ball, outside or FT's (which was a huge problem last night) and no defense, you lose every time. Good solid defense can bail you out when your offense is off... and he never makes defensive adjustments as you mentioned.

Meh stay tuned to see what the euro shows.... 12z gfs tried to trend towards a late phase but didn't cut it. CMC was close too, ukmet not so much
 
Trying to get back up to speed, looking at today's models and the discussion in the main thread. Doing so, one thing keeps coming to mind (to borrow from a famous quip a couple years ago) - "Phase me, bro."
 
In the spirit of good looking women and snow I decided to change my pic since nobody else has a snow bunny. Lol.

So I was reading over the forum the other night and my wife was close by and I point your post out to her and say... "this guy is an attorney in Gainesville, Fl and he loves Winter weather". Then I paused and had to kinda chuckle and said out loud.. "poor guy, he lives in Gainesville and loves winter weather." Lol

Hey - I want to add to this -

I share thoughts and what little bit I know.
I receive replies.
I learn.
Maybe someone else does too.
No one badgers - it's all polite (for lack of a better word).
The sum total is what makes it (and here) fun - at least for me ....

yes. nice to get replies thats for sure. you have replied to me elsewhere and I appreciate it. back at ya. getting on these boards is really a microcosm of life. you're new or don't post a lot (even if you've been a member for years) and no one knows who you are and you remember those "insecurities" you had as a child (that you grew out of of course ;-) .

Me - insecure? OMG
But I try to be a southern gentleman - "try" being the operative word o_O

Live and learn. Learn and live. Give and get. Get and give.
Seems like that's how it goes here
