Thanks man. I'm more than happy to relieve you from some of it.. You ( the U.S ) somehow took all the winter cold weather from us,, heh
It's 14 degrees here this morning...brrr
We're having a pretty normal winter here.
My winter feels like I'm living in Antarctica.
It has been cold here too.....but the last couple years have been mild. So this is more normal.....its just the snow that bothers me since I'm 56 its harder to clean the driveway than when I was 30.....lol.
I can deal with the cold.
We're having a pretty normal winter here.
The precipitation averages are normal here but it's been much colder than normal except for two freak days of 70 degrees...We have a winter storm heading in our direction tonight from the west but the mountains cushion us sometimes from these storms and sometimes they break up on the mountains before they reach us...The ice storms come from the south and hit the cold arctic air, those southern storms moving north are cause for concern more so...

I've noticed that its been colder down south this winter......but still seems warm to me. What was odd for us was to have close to 2 feet of snow on the ground from a few storms.....and then lose it all in two days from warm rainy weather. Now we have some flooding issues.
For you do get a real good storm things have to be absoloutly perfect. Your benchmark I would assume would need the center of the low to come inland or due north up the Chesapeake Bay. Needs to be a really deep low and a bermuda high for that to happen though. But I do agree, your mountains tend to give a downslope "shadowing" much like the
Adirondack Mountains and Green Mountains do for me.
You aint kidding brother. We have severe flooding issues in my neck of the woods due to ice jams. I see you are starting to deal with the same problem. It's basically arctic cold, then we get a Great Lake Cutter storm. Warms everything up, melts it, then freezes it. Rinse and repeat. Dangerous weather pattern we are in. I see no signs of it stopping either looking at long range weather forecasts.
