The official "no snow" rant thread

[JayCee]

The issue is I haven't had much excitement to begin with. Year after year of depressing winters with little to no snow gets to you.

For those of us old enough to remember the 80's, we've been dealing with depressing winters for a VERY long time.

I mean, these crappy winters look bad compared to the frickin '00s. I could always count on one 3"+ snow per year when I lived here in that decade. Now, nothing. It's a 3" snow every four years.

so just wondering, models have kept promising since 10 days ago that consistently cold air would be coming yet keeps pushing it back and all we get are these quick shots of cold air after the majority of the moisture passes...temps drop to low 30's and jump back to upper 40's when the next storm comes through...that is not a good recipe . I am not talking about little one inch snows...To me a good snow is 3 plus in a single storm

We used to get good snow years almost every other year, now it is just a big winter once every 5-7 years...it didn't used to be this hard to get a really decent snowstorm...I just get a little worried because the past several years once we pass the heart of winter (mid January) the cold shots become more few and far between ... there have been an exception a year or two but like i said earlier since 2010 i have not gotten more than 3-4 inches in a single season  where i live

Yep. And watching our neighbors to the south beat you in snow totals each of the last 3 years just adds to the misery.The Middle Tennessee, south of I40 peeps are the most deprived people on this board. We have watched it snow in every direction around us the last few years.

100 percent. the 412 corridor has seen people 25 miles north of us get moderate snow and just south of the TN border get moderate snow....412 is the REAL snow dome....I don't wanna hear from anybody along I-40 complaining as much as us southern middle tennesseeans

Sticking a fork in this season....yet again I feel I will be disappointed. If a shocker of a storm shows up I will be glad....way to much warm zonal flow and not even a hint of a threat in the next 10 days.

I stuck a fork in it mid January when we started hearing just wait till end of month, then just wait till mid-month. Seems when we start hearing that, it's over. At least it has been the last few years.

After this weekend and 36 holes of golf, I am ready for warm weather baseball and golf.

Never fear the pattern will flip just in time for a miserable, rainy, cold April, then we'll all be saying if only we'd had this in January with the short days and low sun angle, blah blah blah. There's my rant I'm finished, please bring on spring and just let it stay til summer.

[JayCee]

I vote we don't even have a winter thread next year.  Just ignore the season altogether in protest.  Maybe, then, it will show up.

agreed, a few of us in here got chewed out when people kept pointing to storms over ten days away lol. even 5 days out is too much ( and I fell into the trap for the 28th 29th bust)

I am already ready for severe weather season....climate history by and large shows most years after mid feb we start to warm up and stay in the 50's and days get longer etc. The meat of the winter season came and went without even a threat of a whimper

1 bad winter is disappointing.  2 back to back is painful.  This makes the third, if nothing changes.  After 2009-15, I thought we were entering a period of better winters.  Not great, but better.

Nope. 

[StormNine]

Yikes!!!!!! Bellingham, WA to Vancouver, BC that is a sick snow bust.

For my neck of the woods just south of Memphis, 2018-19 was the worst winter in memory if you like cold and snow. 2017-18 is probably a second or 3rd.  I really hope we can get a solid winter next year I miss snow and I go spoiled living in NJ for that bit.
