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

Actually no, we took it from Siberia.

If memory serves Siberia had some -60°F temperatures in mid December and that the tongue of Arctic cold repositioned over central Canada.

Saw a weather prediction from some source that this was going to happen in mid-December.

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.

Yeah I hear you. My only neighbors have a couple of kids. Ages 8 and 10. I give them $20 a piece and they shovel for me. It's a pretty good business relationship with those couple kids.

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...

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.

For my benchmark the center of the low would need to track though Penn and then transfer right off the coast of Massachusetts and track due north into the gulf of Maine hugging the coast. That would allow most of the moisture to retrograde to the west and north. Those are Vermonts biblical storms anyway. We had one that did that last March and i got 43 inches.

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.

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.

Just as i said, this storm is breaking up on the mountains, we won't get any snow or ice, it's got to be a powerful storm to ride over the mountains and reach us from the west or northwest...

The winters from December 2012 to March 2015 were fairly severe down here. The average temp in February 2015 was 15 degrees and we had about 45 or 50 inches of snow. It looks like this winter is going to be more like that.....or in other words more average.
