Snow where you are?

Not so much a question of "is it snowing now", but how often and how much you get.

About 1" to 3" a year. Sometimes 12" in the more remote areas about an hour away, but that happens once every 3 years (?) or so.

I've had 1 snow here at my house this year that amounted to about 2-3 inches and was gone by the next day. That's unusual. I've usually had several snows like that by this time. My house is up on the side of a mountain and right at the snow line. I get snow when the lowlanders don't.

The last measureable snow here in the city was 22 years ago this month.

Last week there was about an inch of accumulation 20-40 miles north of here and, two years ago, my hometown (about an hour south of here) got about a foot of snow on Christmas Day.

Yea, we got some of that Christmas day action here. Bazarro indeed.

Red ---> Green.

Whoosh!

So that's how I got here!

An inch or two a few times a season, with the very occasional but not unusual 6-12 inches.

But I am moving soon to more snow.

we have about a foot on the ground right now, and we usually have pretty mild winters

That sounds like me at a traffic light.

We usually have 6" to a foot on the ground from late Nov thru spring, but there's NOTHING yet. We're supposed to get an inch tonight. If it stays it'll be the first that's lasted more than a day.

I don't think it's snowed here in Sacramento for decades.

OTOH, there's some of the best skiing in the world an hour's drive away.

Six inches yesterday.
Already melting up.

My answer, since, sorry to spill beans like this, me n' shootER live in the same city. Though my home town is just ten-twenty minutes south or so depending on traffic.

Though about eight to ten years ago I do remember looking out the window and seeing a few flakes of snow mixed up in the rain around this time of year, but they melted a good five feet away from the ground.

What, here this far south in Georgia, you kidding me? We havent had a real snow in what, 4-5 years and before that the only snow that lasted for more than a day or 2 was the blizzard, of what was it? '93 or '94?

When I was in DC last Feb I saw more snow there than I have in the last decade...

I want to see some snoww


The Commadaunt

That was the Blizzard of 93. I was living in a little cabin out in the boonies of Virginia at the time. It started snowing on Friday, and by Saturday afternoon, I had over 3 ft of snow.

I was dating a hair stylist who could suck a golf ball through 20 ft of garden hose and she spent the weekend with me. I could barely walk by Monday morning.

Good times!

It's not easy being green.......

I was 5 years old lol

most snow I've ever seen and still true today

Haven't seen a good amount of snow in ages...
This year its all ice.
Why did I sign up for the snowmobile club this year?
So I could maintain trails all summer that the ATV riders get to use?
Fuck that.
I want more snow.

By the way, its illegal in the winter for ATVs to be used on SM trails.
At least here it is.

Thirteen inches below normal, here, at last report, as far as snow...above on rain.

Don't much miss it.

Are there any other oldsters here that don't see the trend of places that historically had a lot of snow not getting as much? And I mean patterns, not freakish storms. I wonder what these same places will be like when I'm 65 years old?

Middle option for Boise, but you only have to drive north about 30 min to be 2000' higher and in a 14 inch base of snow. Sorta the best of both worlds.

A fluffy inch overnight. It's supposed to drop to the teens today, so I'm guessing it'll stick around for a while. Again, just enough to fuck up the morning commute, and then the sky cleared.

Daughter took one look outside this morning and said 'I'm walking to work'. When she came home for lunch, she explained that a colleague who lives near us who drove to work took 45 minutes to get there, she took 10. 'Too many fuckwits on the road as soon as a flake of snow falls'.
Difficult to argue with that reasoning...

Sorry. Yes. Snow here

I read somewhere that they were using old photos (like going back to the civil war) to show evidence that the world is indeed getting warmer. Places that already had snow in November back in the 1800's still had leaves on the trees in 2000, stuff like that.

I'm sure it's the same everywhere, too, but that story also is the same with a single drop of water on the roads over here.

Seriously, it seems like I feel a single drop of water hit my head and it's suddenly like that scene from Blues Brothers where the car crashes just WON'T STOP! If I lived in a bad action movies, every car hit by a drop of moisture would just explode for no other reason.
