💬 OT ❄️ The Official TCG Complains about Snow Yearly Despite Living in the Midwest and it never snows here anyway.

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Look at 1980-2000, then 2000-2020. Gaining speed

 

[DanJ]

Fucking Russians.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

so within the next 10-20 years, the winters we knew as kids will be returning and probably more severe, if anything

Move south and higher elevation.

Wont be fun when 2 feet of snow melts in a day because we get winters clashing around summer.

I fondly remember being 12 years old fully convinced I was going to have a prepubescent heart attack from shoveling. Those were the days.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Imagine an artic storm coming down from the north in June.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

The sahara had 4 snows in the last 10 years.... The last 3 were in the last 3 years.

I just remember growing up that once the end of October arrived you knew it was going to be cold and miserable till April.

Xmas 2019 here was what, like 50°+? November 2016 I was walking around Starved Rock in shorts and a t-shirt since it was over 70° out.

I'm okay with it being warmer later into the year, but I don't want that cold shit lasting longer into the next year. No more snow in April and May thank you.

I remember not liking Halloween cause it'd usually be like 40° and rainy/snowy, and I'd hate walking around through that. We learned to get ourselves into apartment complexes (like the two 20 story ones in Wheaton) and trick-or-treat there. Inside, warm, less walking.. massive return on little investment.

So we're looking at another 8-9" up here in Lake county this weekend...

I remember being a ninja for Halloween in first or second grade. I refused to sacrifice the integrity of the costume so my dad took me around the neighborhood in just long Johns and this super thin ninja costume when it was bitter cold and snowing

[radioguy6]

big system coming, gonna dump on us then become a nor'easter. 10 years ago, almost to the day we got that huge storm iirc.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I almost hope we do. Monday's storm that cancelled my flight was not impressive

 

[Chester Copperpot]

from work:

Currently the National Weather Service has already issued a Winter Storm Watch that will begin tomorrow at 3:00 pm and extends thru 6:00 pm Sunday. We expect this watch to be converted to a Warning as the storm draws closer.

The Winter Storm Watch is predicting snow to be in the range of 6-10” with potential for locally heavier amounts where dense bands of snow could set up. Some areas could experience snowfall rates at 1” per hour.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

my body is ready for an inch

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

mine is ready for nine months of beach weather.

 

[Gone_2022]

In for another 2 inch wonder storm

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I have yet to look at the data to see how it’s going to go. From the looks of it they’re calling for precipitation over a period of about 36 hours, so should get a few inches.

They’re still trying to model where the freeze line is going to be so they can try to predict accumulation amounts.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

johndee figured it out already

duh
