Reply to comment by DBLJ33 in So are we shoveling this tonight or hoping it melts tomorrow? by tardub

Last week, so many people in this sub were saying "There's still plenty of time for snow to come and accumulate."

Yeah, it might snow, but it will warm up a few days afterwards, or we'll get precipitation in the form of rain. No lakes / ponds are freezing over; skiing, snowshoeing, dogsledding--never even had a season.

It snowed yesterday and is going to snow tomorrow. Winter nuts are never happy.

Fuck that.

What we want is for temps to stay below zero for weeks at a time--like it used to be. What we have is rain, rain, snow, high temps, melt.

Was a time when tickets weren't north of southern CT because Winter temps kept them out.
