@shahnm My family used to make vacations to Colorado for snow skiing. Snow is magical. I miss it. Being born and raised in Florida, I haven’t seen real snow in 20 years, and I miss it badly.
@PooltoyWolf I grew up in the mountains of northeastern PA. It got cold there in September and stayed cold until May. Accounting for spring and fall, summer was a few hours in mid July…
I could. not. wait. to get out of there and move to somewhere warm. So I moved to Boston… After that experience, I did not even look at jobs north of the Mason-Dixon line…
I miss snow, in theory. Kinda like my nostalgia for that time I had chicken pox. I will take the sweltering humidity and the occasional hurricanes over the frigid tundra any day. Though I do miss skiing
@shahnm I am quite literally the polar opposite. I HATE heat and humidity, but have to slog through it nine months out of the year. The very short winter we get in Florida is when I really ‘come alive’ and fully enjoy myself, and I’m in my element. It’s also the only time of year (besides Megaplex) that Mac gets to come out, and it’s always tragically short. Just the fact that Christmas here can be 80 degrees at midnight is depressing.
On December 3, about a foot of snow blanketed southwest New Hampshire. Last week’s rain melted all but the thickest plow trailings, but we’re forecast to receive a fresh 5 inches tomorrow.
We got dumped in November near Detroit. And haven’t had much since. And now my daughter is waxing poetic about the sad green and gray Christmas we’re about to have.
About 2-3" yesterday and another 7" today. Made it VERY difficult to get downtown for the hockey game and Stanley cup give away. I am blaming that damn scapegoat!
I’m not sure what the official total for New York City was, but I had a bit more than an inch on my car with the only significant snow I’ve seen this season, about two weeks ago.
this winter? here in the boston area we’ve had more than “a dusting” but also nothing significant, IMO. mostly due to the somewhat erratic temperatures so thankfully anything that could have gotten annoying was completely melted. it’s snowing right now, actually, but we’re only supposed to get a few inches and roads look clear enough.
Dusting around Halloween, a couple of inches just before Thanksgiving, and 5+ inches on Sunday. NE Kansas. Here it’s not unusual to get a couple of big snowstorms per year, but we are definitely ahead of “normal” for snowfall.
Albuquerque, NM: We got an 8" snowfall here on Thanksgiving eve! It was mostly gone the day after Thanksgiving. This morning the temp was 16 F. The mountains of North New Mexico around Cloudcroft, Angelfire, and Taos are getting good snow and we’re looking at another great ski season!
MI near Detroit, that storm that came through around Thanksgiving wrecked the place. No salt trucks out, it being too early in the year, just tons of snow and rough ice. Almost spun out driving a mere 30 on a straight road. (Countersteering is fun!)
Then it all melted. Been getting some light snow that hasn’t been sticking around.
@InnocuousFarmer
I live right in MI to, Waterford, by Pontiac. Just got my boots last week so we probably won’t have anymore snow. I’d be fine with a white Christmas if it melted after that.
/image almost a foot of sunshine
I don’t have a ruler or anything, but if I had to wager a guess… whelp, I guess I’d say it’s somewhere around tree fiddy
8-10" on Thanksgiving day, nothing that’s stuck since. I bought a new snowblower last week, so it may never snow again.
@blaineg There was ice on the interstate yesterday morning, that was exciting!
It doesn’t snow in central Florida. Booooo.
@PooltoyWolf It doesn’t snow in central Florida. YAAAYYY!!!
FTFY.

@Ambiverbal in the same boat in central ny. Snowing now until evening today then ice and single temps tomorrow.

No but it’s been really cold. The high today was 60. Brrrr.
@ThatsHeadly Bwahahahaaha! Cold? It’s 19 here now.
@ThatsHeadly It’s 32 and sleeting here. You can take your 60 and quit ya complaining!
15"

/giphy winter wonderland
Yep, today (well, technically yesterday/Monday) we in the Metro St. Louis area got a whopping 4”…which is rather significant (and what ‘she’ said).
A couple of weeks ago we had 17 inches. Welcome to the Northeast!
couple of 4 inchers, a few heavy dustings, and a few light dustings
I’m not sure what the official total for New York City was, but I had a bit more than an inch on my car with the only significant snow I’ve seen this season, about two weeks ago.
I guess it depends on what you call ‘significant.’
Yes. We’ve probably got 17+ inches since end of November here in Minnesnowta.
I think the most we’ve had here in the NYC area is about 3". That’s barely more than a nuisance snow.

@jerk_nugget same for just south of Boston along 95.
First blizzard was in early October and we’ve had a few since then. It’s Colorado. People come for the snow.
@arielleslie Used to ski in Keystone. I miss it!!
In the midst of it now. Over 2 days, I’d guess about 7-9".
Not here in Florida. I wouldn’t mind visiting somewhere with snow. Haven’t seen any in over thirty+ years.
yup, halloween, like ten inches.

I want a white Christmas dammit.

@star2236 No buying weather control boots next year til January.
What is snow?
/texas
So far Denver has had two storms that dumped 12-13" each, plus a bunch of 2-4" quckies.
We’ll be in Pensacola for next Christmas!
Erm… Does no one remember this mess?

Yes, 6 inches a couple of weeks ago.
We had the melted variety. Does that count?
Nope eat it!
