Really it's February that's the killer. Next week is supposed to be in the 50s in NYC.

That's like how *today* in Boston/MA was supposed to have a high of 48, partly cloud when the predictions were being made a week ago. Then as the days went by, it kept going down.. 46, 43 and cloudy, 41, 38. I think it ended up being 36 and cloudy with off and on snow showers / rain.

This winter will never end.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Yeah, the subway was scorching hot this morning, too, and it was only like 40 degrees. Ugh. We just can't win.

Scorching hot and looking like a pipe broke. When I got of at my stop the entire area was soaked like we got 4 inches of rain.

 

[Oppo]

I'm really surprised Boston has a higher snowfall record than Toronto. Our record is a mere 86" I think. Set a long damn time ago too.

 

[Village]

Floridian here, I'll be here waiting for the impact

The caveat is, you live in florida.

I can handle some snow

 

[King Cobra]

If only your city's infrastructure could as well, good luck with your nasty roads and crumbing bridges.

 

[Laekon]

Yeah Florida infrastructure is really top notch

i'll take the chances of driving over a collapsing bridge vs ... living in florida

This is weather not infrastructure, good infrastructure means that those roads will be in excellent condition the next day.

as opposed to them looking like this after flooding in almost every northern state.

I understand, not everyone can afford to live minutes away from a beach.

Edit: You live in Cali, how's the crippling drought coming along over there?

 

[terrisus]

Hahaha, I should start seeing how many threads I can just post "3-5 inches baby" in and still have it make sense.

Probably all of them >.>

Umm...

You do realize where Boston is... right?...

 

[Dicer]

Poors, amirite?!!!?

Florida is going to be all swampy mess in a few centuries so your and your kin best enjoy it now.

The drought has no effect on the average person in So Cal. Everyone still waters their yard and washes their car like nothing is going on. What will happen is that in another year or 2 crops might fail and food prices will soar for everyone. It's been a rainy spring and the wild flowers are out all over.

Why don't you post some pictures of how Floridia looks after a hurricane. Hurricane Sandy wasn't just some regular flooding.

You do realize most of the North East - New England - is coastal, right? If not by the ocean, there are lakes and whatnot.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Looks like 2-6 inches of snow and a quarter of an inch of ice in Nashville tonight.

Hope they close campus again like they did a few weeks ago. :>

That would mean an early Spring Break for me and one less midterm I'd have to take.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Meanwhile west coast stays winning.

 

[Quikies83]

In Mississippi and this is totally crazy... It topped off at 82 today... 61 right now... Will be below freezing in 2 hours.
Don't remember a day where I had both the ac and the heater running.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Stay away from Ohio dammit, it wasn't too cold here the past 2 days, would like to keep that going.

 

[DietRob]

Have you looked outside? Or maybe it's just staying in south Ohio for once.

It was still pretty nice, though. The only downside to the melting that's actually started to happen recently are the enormous puddles of sludge that we'll be dealing with for the next few weeks. I wonder when the next time I'll be able to leave home without boots will be.

 

[TheContact]

I'm in southeast Massachusetts. Looks like we getting mostly rain

 

[BPoole]

I'm driving up to Ohio tomorrow for the Arnold Classic. This is probably going to screw with my travel time :/

 

[GK86]

Looks like rain for NYC until tomorrow morning.

 

[injurai]

wish I noticed this thread before deciding to study at the library...

 

[e_i]

I'm in South Jersey, so it looks like it'll be snowing all day tomorrow.

 

[terrisus]

South Jersey?

So like St. Brelade, or St. Helier, or Grouville, or St. Clement or one of those places?

 

[J-Rzez]

Damn this winter to hell. So much snow and ice. But the cold has been the biggest issue for me. having so many back issues the cold doesn't help one bit. My back only reacts favorably to heat.

PA btw. Looks like another 3-6 inches for me. Fuck. I just chopped up all the ice today in the driveway and reduced the snowbanks.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

got my snow storm supplies. 2 six packs should be more than enough

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Must be, Cleveland area has been clear.

 

[GodofWine]

As a NJ state employee I will welcome one more round of this white hell as long as state offices are closed.

 

[NateDrake]

I'm in southeast Massachusetts. Looks like we getting mostly rain

SE Mass is getting 4-6 of snow in most regions.

 

[toneroni]

Sick of this goddamn snow. If I didn't buy a house and recently married, I'd move to Cali for sure.

Basically the same for me in PA.

 

[...Scatter...]

It was 87 in FLA today. The AC in my car is broken. The struggle is real.

 

[Neuromancer]

All I'm seeing is rain here in Baltimore. I'm beginning to doubt the prophecy.

 

[Slayer-33]

Rain in nyc, where's the snow?

 

[Lanbeast]

Basically the same for me in PA.

Also PA. Went to bed dreaming of a snow day, woke up to 1/50 of an inch maybe.

 

[Alucrid]

It looks like the snow is coming all during the day. Late enough to not call out but enough to make the drive home a pain in the ass. Fuck you mother nature

 

[GK86]

Starting to come down in NYC.

 

[battousai11]

Boston didn't get anything overnight; or if we did, it melted already since it's 38 this morning.

 

[Alucrid]

Just walked out the door to leave and now it's coming down fuckkkkkk

 

[Future PhaZe]

ugh, terrible timing for the DC area, snow is coming down just as we're supposed to begin the work commute and I'm pretty sure my office is too stubborn to close early.

think im going to just be preemptive this morning and just call out

 

[BassForever]

I probably could have made it to work, but with how far I have to drive + how little I get paid + its still snowing and won't stop till after I get out + I have sick days to burn = gonna enjoy my day off

 

[3phemeral]

I feel bad for you East coasters that get the bulk of all this winter snow. Tuesday we had a few inches in Michigan that was just torrential, but the temperature was around 30 degrees so it melted with all the salt that was already dispersed on the roads.

Since moving here, the only time I've experienced an actual, proper Spring was 3 years ago where it seemingly changed overnight. Straight from sub 30 degree whether to 70 degrees and the plants sprung up in what seemed like a week. Man, that was amazingly beautiful. Those kinds of Springs never happen in SoCal.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Well except for the whole running out of water thing.

 

[Turbowaffles]

At least you get sick days. I don't have that luxury :/

 

[VanWinkle]

Oh my goodness. Woke up to a foot of snow near Parkersburg, WV! Had no clue we would get this much. Pretty crazy.

 

[cajunator]

Getting pretty fucking sick of winter. Never thought I'd want to move back to Florida.

Here in Louisiana this winter we havent even gotten sleet. It has been really nice.

 

[Courage]

Started about 20 minutes ago here in Queens, NY. Stay safe everyone.

 

[Alucrid]

yeah, called out going to sleep

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

On the train now to my office in NYC. If this really gets crazy I'll leave by lunch time.

 

[Chibits12]

North of Baltimore here and it is starting to snow. I can't work at home since I have no internet. Looks like I'll be working Saturday.
