Winter 2014/15

[IMADreamer]

3 inches of snow tonight. The forecast for the weekend is just suck. Ice, sleet, snow, whatever all freaking weekend. Then next week monster snow storm. This is [expletive]!

I drove back up to NY over the weekend to finally finish my bathroom remodel. My snow removal guy apparently has not been doing his job. There was between 6-12" of snow in the single lane of my driveway where he had plowed probably a week prior, but hadn't touched the rest. Snow was up past my mailbox - part of that would be from the plow driving past and blowing it into my yard, but 90% of it was just accumulated snow. There were several drifts that were taller than me.

I spoke to my future father-in-law and he said they finally passed 200" over the weekend. I didn't think they were gonna make it, but the past couple weeks have been pretty rough up there. Still a few weeks left of good solid snow-producing winter (last year we had 36" dropped one afternoon in late-March - only time ever that my Subaru Forester got stuck), so perhaps they'll hit 250" and make it an average winter. Still by far the mildest winter I've known since I moved to NY in 2009.

It seems like a world away.

I came as close to an accident this morning as I have in a while. Van came out of a side street turning right and lost control, it missed by a good 10 feet but when it started to happen I thought there was a chance he was just going to slide right into me with nothing either one of us could do.

This will be the coldest winter in the history of Chicago when it's done. Thank god I missed a week of it. I just want to kill winter. My hate is now a full blown rage.

Atlanta got quarter inch of snow and whole city was shut down

Still early but Wunderground has forecasted highs above freezing for all next week including 55 on Tuesday back up to 45 on Sat.

whatever we get here will be messy but very temporary. hardly requires a hunkering.
Potential nuisance for road crews and emergency personnel that have to deal with impatient morons. Quick money for my friend that does parking lots for a few businesses .

Colder than last year? Hard to believe. Last year it was ultra cold from thanksgiving to spring right?

Last winter was colder than this winter. This February has been colder than last February, and all other February's

It should be illegal to describe a day where the high is 20 as "abundant sunshine".

[jim]

I agree ... and any day with a temperature less than 75 as "warm". My idea of "warm" doesn't change just because it's January. I could see "pretty cold", "really cold", "extremely cold", and the majority of days being "[expletive] bull [expletive] mother [expletive] cold".

I'm tired of people saying it's a nice day when it's not. There are no nice days where the temperatures are below 60. It simply doesn't exist. You keep the thermostat at 55 in your house when you are there? Of course you don't, because 55 is too [expletive] cold.

Just because you have decided to you lower your standards doesn't mean the rest of us should.
