What happened to winter??? 

Post#1 » by Jay81 » Tue Feb 5, 2013 9:31 pm

There has not been a winter storm of over 2 inches at DCA since Jan 26,2011! What happened to winter?

Anyway...next week might show some real promise finally. Boston might get hammered with 1-2 feet on Friday that we will of course miss.

Of course it's going to snow in Boston. I have something important to do up there this weekend.

I blame you, Ji.

Well, we were all wondering what Ji's take on Sandy was, and now we know.

Question from all us non-meteorologist types- what is the difference between the European model and the American model, and why did the European model (epic smackdown of the East Coast) get it right and the American model (harmlessly out to sea) get it wrong?

I was an avid snowboarder (local spots) while growing up so years ago this would have bothered me.
But it has been many years since I have been on a board, so I could give a damn now.
Bring on the warmer weather I say.

Wow. What a hipster activity (even with the local spots proviso). :lol:

I have never claimed to have any street cred.
I dont know where you got that from.
The fact I started skateboarding and snowboarding well over 25 years ago proves I am far from being a hipster.
Hipsters are frauds. They are fake and they will stand out no matter how hard they try to fit in.
They actually have a lot in common with gentrifiers and yups.
They are all SCUM.

Agreed.

Golf, tennis, lacrosse, field hockey, soccer, horseback riding, swim team, skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, underage drinking etc...

I was right there side by side with them participating in the above extracurricular activities on a daily basis for years. The superiority they displayed towards each another was bad enough, but the superiority they displayed towards those they felt were beneath them was much much worse.

Boo, I'm done with winter. Bring on spring. Snow became worthless once I finished school.

So according to your logic I should stop participating in activities I still enjoy from back in the day because countless preps and yups also participate in those activities?

I also enjoy eating and breathing.

Should I stop doing that too?

I guarantee you none of yups I grew up with skateboard or snowboard anymore.
They all gave it up years ago. I think one of them became a surfer and now lives out on the west coast.
He never really was a prep anyway. He probably hates yups and gentrifiers more than I do. :D
