Hey posting in here tonight because I am currently in Bartlesville, OK. I went to college out here and lived for awhile. My kids live here so I visit often. I am pretty excited about the arctic front on the way. We don't have this kind of extremes up in Oregon. We go from 35 and rain to 31 and snow over the course of 8 hours. lol

Hope you enjoy your visit man. Some pretty crazy temperature drops going on right now.

Everybody ready for our 1 inch of snow followed by above average temperatures? Wow, what a great winter so far. Exactly as advertised. Glad the people hyping it up for the Plains were right![/quote

 

Every year you go through the same process of blaming everyone for not getting monster snows. I'm right there with you that we all want them

, but reality is that we are in a region of nickel and dimers and an occasional "decent" storm. When you got slammed last year with 15"-17" storm I don't recall you getting blamed for that storm hitting mainly central Nebraska. My advice is "if you can't beat them, join em aka move to an area closer to the GL. We all know nebraska is not what it used to be back in the day regarding winter weather, those are just the cold hard facts.

Just frustrated as I'm sure you are as well.  Not blaming anyone.

You guys are correct, pretty much. I let my semi recent past sort of cloud my judgement. Call it having too good of a depth of memory but it's hard to erase 2008-09 (super ice storm) 09-10 (20"+ winter with top 5 cold throughout) 10-11 (31" winter, epic cold) and then 2013-14 and 2014-15 both with a good spread of winter events and cold although totals were normalish or slightly lackluster. When you're sitting 60 miles north of i-35 and you get that many good winters in less than a decade, I guess you sort of take for granted that snow is not always a given at my latitude. I'm glad last winter happened to help remind me to not take it for granted. I'm just glad it looks like true winter outside tonight and it's only December 18th.

Did you end up getting any snow from this last system? I think I saw you said there was a chance forecasted.

I actually did! Got a good solid glaze first to mess the roads up and then it snowed about a 1/2 inch. Lol. Terrible that I was excited about it but it was nice to see everything turn white again after last year. The pattern after this warm up is where my attention has been for awhile though. I considered any snow in this month a bonus for me.

Lol. I meant i-40. Oops. I very seldom get those two confused but it happens. Haha. I'd have to be in Canada to be north of i-35.

 

For a winter lover like yourself, that's actually not a bad plan -  ;)

Ah. Makes sense. I seriously have driven I-35 the entire way through Oklahoma probably 100 times. Extended family is in Dallas, and I've lived in KC, Des Moines and the Twin Cities. Lots of family trips along I-35. I know that road a little too well.

Lol. I've lived in every town on i-35 from Paoli to south Moore. Havent lived out that way in many years though. I lived in one of the houses once that got destroyed in the tornado just east of the highway a couple seasons back.

You try getting screwed in every storm and every good pattern

Yep-- same thing happening here in central IA--- forecast of 2-4" turned into .4" -- half of which was ice pellets-- of which none was forecast. NWS here has been miserable the last several events

Is Flowers still holding on to his prediction??

He said he was holding as of Christmas, I keep checking though as I feel any day now he will come out with a video post. It just seems out of reach at this point. Who knows though. I'm banking on the Boston winter of 2015. Didn't have squat in December and first half of January and then hit big to finish out the winter. Haha. Not likely I know.

Per this dude's vid, the specific forecast ain't all that important...

Since the snowblower broke 3 winters ago,, the wife has been hassling me to replace it. I  said we don't need one anymore, cuz we don't get anymore winter events over 6". At this pace-- I'am going to get rid of my shovels also. All they do is collect dust,, more dust then snow shoveled :angry:

Have used the snowblower once in 3 years. It is in the garage but haven't really even thought about it. bastardi's winter forecast had the central plains in above normal snowfall. I like him, but he hasn't shown that graphic in a long time, just his cold forecast. Jim flowers had predicted over 40 inches. We would need an epic change in the pattern and record snowfall the next 3 months for this to happen.

I hope I am totally wrong but looking at brown ground almost every day is depressing.
