Squally 17 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I love winter and snow beyond belief (to my wife's dislike). I follow this site like its my job and was going to try to join you guys for golf this year (hopefully next year). I am starting to get frustrated with this year already. My foolish question is - when was the last time a good solid storm (4+) has trended well for us? I feel like every time there is a hint of snow it always goes in the toilet. Sorry if a silly question. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry if a silly question. Not silly at all. Hmm...the last whopper was of course Jan 2016, we had close calls in March storms that turned more into sleet fests but were still fun to track, had that Apr storm 1 year, otherwise I'm I'm drawing a big fat blank. Maybe because I, like you, and trying to subdue the anxiety over a meh pattern Link to post Share on other sites

rramblings 515 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Seasons Greetings. My wishes to all for a safe and joyfilled holiday season. I always enjoy The Shepard, read by Alan Maitland on CBC radio at this time of year. Some of you might enjoy this, allow just over 30 minutes.
