Don't you think you would get tired of lake effect snow eventually ? Like Larry has said before, I think snow is more fun when you live in an area where snow is not as common.

Flip the coin ... heat and tropical in someone's back yard 7 months plus a year ... it all depends on where one finds a bit of peace to sleep ... o_O ... and then to wait for a change ... and wait ... and then wait ... and ... :eek:

I just want 3 months of each season. No more no less.
 
Since we're heading into November, I figure I'd do some reminiscing again.

Talking about winters that are epic in the southeast, even unbiased, I will most likely NEVER forget 13/14. That winter was absolutely nuts. I prefer a wet snow event because it makes everything look pretty, but everything that surrounded 1/28/14 was unreal, including the event. The traffic dumpster fire that happened because of the miss was incredible. I was shocked observing that online when I was in my dorm. I was in Rome at the time and it ended up eventually snowing at a good clip for at least 2 hours (started out as light snow), much more than I expected and instead of a "dusting", I'm pretty sure we had at least 3 inches of snow. It was in the high teens to low 20s the whole time which was the crazy part of it.

Then the ice storm in central Georgia where my parents ended up losing power for at least a week. They thankfully had a place to go and ended up relocating there for most of that week, but if a significant ice storm happens like that again, we don't have a place to relocate to now if the power is out for a very long time.

Out of all the places that regularly get lake effect snow Cleveland gets the least of it. I believe thier average snowfall is like 60-65 inches a year and just 30 minutes south is like 55 inches per year. You also get more warm ups and thawing out then places further north so the ground isn’t white from December-February most years.

Back-loaded winter, front-loaded winter..... I like my Winter's like I like my baked potatoes: fully loaded, all in, let's roll.

Btw can we censor the phrase "sun angle"? Thanks

Good idea on the phrase sun angle .

I’m changing everyone’s password to ground temps or snowpack to the north

What's going on at the Weather Channel. I mostly watch it in the evening so I may have missed it. Is Carl Parker not on there anymore. Haven't seen him in awhile. Also it looks like Dr. Rick Knabb the Huricane expert has become their severe weather expert also. Knabb does a lot of routine day to day weather on TWC. Just curious.

Parker is busy pushing his GW agenda.
 
We live in a sad neighborhood! About 40-50 houses, about 15 give out candy, saw so many people coming into our neighborhood and in cars and driving to each house with lights on, kids running out of the car,getting the candy and running back to the car and driving to the next house! Lazy ass kids or parents!

The politicizing of this tragedy as far as blaming someone or some group in government for the scum taking those innocent lives is totally uncalled for. People shouldn’t be trying to blame someone else for what this evil person did. It trivializes the evil act, itself. Why does seemingly everything have to be connected to politics these days?

Unfortunately, very unfortunately, it is the easy way out. IMHO that boils it down to the very daily basics.

Great thoughts, Larry. And so well put ... ;)
 
I usually wait until Thanksgiving week before putting up the Christmas tree/lights and usually take them down around New Years Eve.
 
There was quite the list of Halloween movies on last night. The first Halloween movie from 1978 was classic. Freddy vs. Jason is also a good one.
 
Usually have about 30 kids come to my house trick-or-treating. We take the kids around our neighborhood, which is pretty small, then hit Main Street in Wake Forest and all the big, historic homes. That is the most popular spot for Halloween. Some of the folks go all out decorating there. I love decorating for Halloween and Christmas. I wish more folks in my neighborhood did. I think only about half gave out candy last night.
