Is this the snowiest year ever?
It is reported that 49 of the fifty states now has snow on the ground. Hawaii is the only one with no snow on it's two highest volcanoes. I have been on Mauna Kea when the wind chill was below zero and the snow was blowing while it was 80 down on the beach.
Enjoy your winter everyone. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...m4F5AD9DQR36O3 |

In BC where the winter olympics are happening it's way too warm and rainy. I'm wondering how hot this summer will be. |

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
This is definitely not the Warlocks' snowiest year. Living close to Buffalo, NY, we tend to get a lot of lake effect. However this year we haven't had one snow day. I think our snowiest year ever was in '08 when we could only send our drivers and safety captain to RIT for the Finger Lakes Regional because of a driving ban.

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
Al,
What are you talking about! Hawaii has consistent high 50's, low 60's this winter which is the equivalent to a snow storm in the mainland! Seriously. |

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
Actually, here in north Idaho, we have had maybe in inch of snow at any given time.
It is strange because last year there was several feet of snow just during the month of December, but this year even during the coldest part of the year it rarely snowed and very few times did the temperature drop below 20 degrees (not including windchill- this year was very windy.) I find it funny that the east coast is getting so much snow when we have gotten so little. |

There has been an abnormally small amount of snow in RI this year.

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
Here in metro Atlanta, we usually get snow about once every other year, but this year was something else. I don't think we've had snow this good since about 2008, but even then, it was barely enough. This year on the other hand, it snowed for four straight hours and gave us a good 2-3 inches.
Hahha, I just reread my post and I bet some people in the north are like, "We get snow for four straight days." |

Glenn, I went up to Mauna Kea on Dec 28 or 29 with a tour and watched a family from California get out without jackets and almost freeze to death. Saw a moonbow on the way down though. 50's and 60's?!? It was above 30 here on Saturday and I had my coat open trying to get some rays. |

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
We got another 2-3" of snow today. We were so complacent about it that I didn't even see snow plows on the side of the road. It's like it's all just numbing now (no pun intended). The school is still closed since they "didn't dig out enough school buses" (lol) so it looks like we're back in the garage tomorrow.
On the upside, the students are getting a GOOD appreciation for their beloved power tools at the school. Hand tools are good enough, but they take twice as long. |

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
![]() It really hasn't been too bad here in Minnesota... a bit more than previous years, but we only canceled one meeting. So long as it stops snowing (or stops enough) by the end of school, we meet. I guess that's the price you pay for having a new, amazing workshop off of the school's campus. |

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
So how about that global warming!
We haven't had a ton here, but they closed a lot of schools for the snow that is really coming down right now. |

Re: Is this the snowiest year ever?
I guess you're not enjoying the sun out there in NJ.
Maybe we'll feel your pain in 2011. My kids keep yelling at me about not going East for a regional again. |
