Hopefully I won’t still being saying this in the afterlife but I have to plan a trip up there during one of these. A mere four hour drive to paradise.

Could not say this any better! If the cold is not accompanied by a heavy snowstorm and an extended snowpack,it is a waste of time.I would rather be on my deck with temps in the 70's smoking a cigar.
Doc with have a snowpack. It’s two and a half inches of solid snow and ice. I’m okay with it. I realize LI the coastal plain and NYC lost most of not all their snow but I’m good with the cold as long as the ground is white.
Keep up the good work RB and phenomenal call on this pattern change so far ahead of time and almost to the day. Unbelievable what you did.
To call snowstorms weeks or even several days ahead of time is almost impossible. All our experts can do is look for the favorable signs and they’ve been spot on with that.
100% agree. Nothing but respect and appreciation for all of our experts and contributors. Mother Nature will do what she will do. But this is where I have always come and will continue to come to be more informed around what to really expect with our local weather.

Now, as advertised, it’s finally feeling like winter (and will continue to for the foreseeable future) but with mere mention that the first of SEVERAL snow chances may not work out for us, y’all are ready for winter to not feel like winter again?? I just don’t understand.
Good grief.
Plus, the area just saw a 4-8” storm. Also, a few days before that we saw a storm pass to our south. The pattern has definitely changed in comparison to where we were in December. And it’s still changing! Patience amici!

If global warming comes through maybe the lake will expand into your backyard

Thanks CP! I must admit that I’m pretty happy (and proud) so far with how this is turning out, but once we get our area-wide 2-3 footer, that’ll be the icing on the cake

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this means a lot. Thanks, crippo! We definitely try to provide the best, unbiased information that we can, even though we’re all a bunch of snowaholics haha we also always try our best to foster a great environment for mets and hobbyists to converse and learn from each other, and, even have a few laughs along the way

Re: Banter Thread 6.0
I haven't had much time to post consistently on here but I wanted to share with you why, and for good reason.

Last Fall, I accepted a position at FOX Weather -- a new platform launched by FOX Corporation in late October. I am currently working on their Programming team as I wrap up my last year of Broadcast Meteorology studies via Mississippi State's distance learning program. As an aside, if anyone reading this is interested in furthering their education in weather, feel free to reach out to me as I highly recommend MSU's program and can offer some solid insight on it, three years in.
Though the journey has been lengthy, I am super excited for what's to come as I work toward a position on-air and am thankful I've been able to be a part of such a passionate, well-versed community like this forum. Many of you have been a resounding reminder of the importance to water the plant that gives you the biggest joy in life, in ways big and small. I hope to make you proud.

Many trying days remain my friend, but you have paved yourself a road map in how to handle the many road blocks life to trys and place in front of you on ones journey to success. Its so nice to hear that there are still people out there willing to put in the work to reach their goals.
Good luck Soul!!
