 I may start cheering against them.

Yay someone to join me!

Waterloo to us is as Norfolk is to you.

We had our second lowest season snowfall on record last season, and Norfolk finished well above average. Rather freakin' impressive for 92 miles as the crow flies. It was over a 30" difference. And people wonder why I have a vocal anti-Norfolk bias.

[CentralNebWeather]

I had a high school classmate that has taught in Norfolk for many years. He has told me on more than one occasion that they just seem to be in the “sweet spot” for snow in Nebraska. They get it from all directions and he hates snow.

I was talking to a friend from Cedar Rapids (Hiawatha actually) and he said he should go to Norfolk and just scream "NOR FOLK NOR FOLK NOR FOLK" and see if he gets drive by shot.

[Minny_Weather]

I thought that sort of thing only happened in L.A....not lovely mid-America.

There was a shooting here in Lincoln last night, It was a big deal. They closed a major intersection.

Lol when I first got here someone showed me the "ghettos" of Lincoln. Literally laughed my a** off. That is just run down at worst and its a good neighborhood in Memphis.

If you ever see anyone standing by the tracks near 33rd and Cornhusker at around 8-9ish at night, that's me. I video call my friends by the tracks there and I park in the parking lot there some nights. Don't ask why. Has to do with my other hobby. That's a "bad" neighborhood, and I'm more worried about cops driving by and thinking I'm a meth head than people stabbing me. Actually, I have been talked to by a cop who thought I was a burglar there once. That was entertaining.

whats your other hobby?

Im guessing its picking up low quality meth

d**n how did you guess?

 

whats your other hobby?  

My actual other hobby is railfanning. Basically I take pictures and video of trains. I have a flickr, Instagram, and YouTube page dedicated to it. It's fun cuz I feel like I can tie weather into it too. A big reason why I'm a snow fan is cuz it really beefs up shots. Nothing is worse than bare ground and barer trees in the Winter for shots. Here's one I took yesterday near Yutan.

the area from South st and 27th up to 27th and Superior is actually worse and is one of the highest meth trafficking areas in Lancaster county.

Well that's quite a large area.

[Snowlover76]

Well that's quite a large area.

the worst is from O to Cornhusker 

 

 

the area on West O is just near the city mission so a lot of bums live under the bridge at Salt creek

We're getting close to the season of homeless people being everywhere in downtown again. There's normally quite a few on my 2 block walk from my parking garage on 12th & M to my campus on 12th & O.

Does the old lady with the big cross and brown (or white) coat still stand outside the Nebraska union preaching about terrorism? She's the best meme on the campus. I always had to try and not break down laughing every time I walked by her cuz the stuff she said was so ridiculous.

Yes!!! I haven't seen in her since October/Novemeber but she's preaching her wild and pretends she just doesn't exist.

I saw her before the Iowa game back on Black Friday. 

 

I actually found this Facebook page dedicated to her. Hasn't been used since 2012 but it's still hilarious. https://www.facebook.com/Crazy-Blue-Protesting-Lady-195270517151500/

Yeah. In the warmer months I see them, but I haven't seen them so far this semester.

This may come as a profound shock; but people are not homeless by choice.

 

I would feel worse for the poor lost soul who does not have a roof over his head, a warm bed to sleep in, or know where his next meal is coming from.

 

But Americans have been conditioned to have contempt for those in need; and thus there are more societies for the protection of animals than for the protection of people. 

 

Upside-down planet at its finest.

The ONLY THINGS that separate Every Other American from that poor soul's fate is 1/ Their bank book or 2/ They have family or friends who will take care of their material needs.

Year 3 of winter futility is going as futile as it gets. Starting to wish this were a destructive ice event for the excitement of it is pretty sad. Starting to hate and dread winter is disappointing also. Here's to drought and heatwaves in 4 months.

If there is anyone I have sympathy for here it is you. Man, what a let down it must be for you winter wise.

[OKwx2k4]

Thank you. To my knowledge of winters back to at least 1887 here, this is the most snowless 3 season stretch of this area's entire history. I'm just in shock at how I could get nearly the perfect pattern all winter and never have anything to work with down here. Last hope is trying to close the winter with something special but I don't see it as a real possibility.

Hang in there...Winter is still not ova. After mid March, then, its done!.

[OKwx2k4]

I'm not going to count on it. May see another round of ice.

RIP your sanity. Terrible conditions going on down there, I feel for you bud. I only have so much room to complain, what you're dealing with this year is a nightmare.

I really really don't like negativity too much but if there's a positive way to spin being in this 80 by 40 mile Hell zone of winter death I'd like to hear it. I'm trying to laugh about it a little bit but it's getting really difficult to. There has to be a lot of great winters coming in the future for all the crap and near misses I've seen since 2011-12. It will pass. Just not much positive to say so been staying out of the main threads. Tom does a great job.

Wish I had a $1 for every time this winter that the forecast was downgraded to “a coating to an inch”. Another miss by models and forecasters here. Not even a flake. We were in a winter storm watch just over 24 hours ago.

But hey there's the next MAJOR storm next week right? Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Give me spring already. Didn't the GFS have this storm getting down into the low 980s for SLP a couple of days ago by the time it made it into Wisconsin? Now it's in the mid to upper 990s. Much weaker system

You’re right. Every storm is right around the corner. This should have been a great pattern for a large storm, just never quite materializes. I am officially ready for thunderstorms and spring.

[Minny_Weather]

Excited to get these snow piles melted so we can focus on warmth and severe weather. I hate seeing snow melt, but once it's gone I want Spring.
