Misc Cold Season Complaining

i will say this, my favorite winters ever were 13-14, 14-15 and 17-18 and those winters seemed dead in the water in raleigh through christmas (i know that early dec storm existed in 2017 but i remember that as doing food delivery in 33 and rain with occasional sleet haha)
there may be a loose correlation between warm Christmas and cold early-mid Jan with usual timing of pattern shifts lol

My favorite one was 2003-04. Snowed on my birthday that year and the late Feb storm was awesome.
 
The “this time will be different.” crowd will be battered and beaten by the time this winter is over

I have never more seriously considered a major increase in latitude in my 38 years. For someone as obsessed with winter as I am (I went to school for 6 years due to this obsession for pete's sake), have worked in the field now for 17 years (counting said school years) to have only seen 8" of snow as my all-time storm record is beyond insanity. I love winter weather so much I made a career out of it and I am beyond miserable every year. I don't even like convection, a well-known fact by everyone who knows me. Why I live in NC is beyond me.

I wish I had known that Jan 2000 to Feb 04 was a generational run i would have appreciated it more. If it wasn't for that 09 storm it would be 22 years since I've seen more than 6 where I lived

You were in diapers the last time Atlanta had 6” in March 1983.

What you looking for? Lots of snow, or somewhere with a solid four seasons that are well defined? You want somewhere with tons of seasonal lag where winter drags on into spring? A quick warmup into spring? You like bitter cold ? Let me know I’ll help you find the place!

I’m telling y’all, live your dream! Ain’t no reason to stay here , go experience hundreds of inches of snow a year

It really was - you don’t realize the good ol days were the good ones until they are gone. That was a crazy heater.
