I predict it will be colder than it is now and that we will indeed have weather.

I like the looks of those charts for the first few months, Feb doesn't look especially good though.

I posted the Farmer's almanac on the ski jones rating thread, it calls for an unusually wet and snowy february for the midatlantic and NE.

steezy...I was telling some people last night about how we're due for a good Blizzard..When I was a paperboy I got a shirt that said,"I survived the blizzard of 93" Which was the March east coast superstorm that dumped 18 inches of snow in North Georgia and some 40+ inch amounts in Western PA. We ended up getting 18 inches of relatively dense snow here in the Lehigh Valley which was the biggest snowfall since 1983 when it dumped 25 inches. The Blizzard of 1996 dumped 30 inches on Philadelphia and 26 inches in my town but it was a light and dry powder and the drifts were freaking huge. I had off school for an entire week and it took me 2 full days until I could get up to Blue mountain which was packed for a weekday.

The next big storm I got to experience was the 2001 Town Meeting storm in early March of 2001 in Burlington VT..wow..digging my car out was X to the Treme. 22.9 inches officially fell at the Burlington International Airport for the 4th biggest snowstorm to hit Burlington..since records have been kept at least back to about 1900. The Valentines storm of 2007 dumped 25.7 inches on Burlington VT.

None of these storms compare to when Bridger Bowl MT received 105 inches of snow in 5 days at the end of 2003. There was so much snow in Bozeman that during the night..they would haul piles of snow out of town and dump them in fields. My car got stuck at least twice..thank god for AAA. Not the kind of stuck where you can easily be pushed out..the kind of stuck where I thought my old Nissan Sentra was drowning.

Phillycore I learned Ebonics in high school..here is the Ebonics to English Translation..

Hello Everybody, this winter it is going to snow alot and that snow will stick around. It will be very cold outside. Be sure to wear a fur coat or better yet a Patagonia jacket that is made from recycled bottles. Be sure to winterize your vehicle and don't forget a winter survival kit. Be sure to help control the pet population..have your pet spayed or neutered. This announcement was brought to you by the letter G and the number 14.

yeah that definitely makes more sense...
I guess living a mile from the per capita crime capitol of the eastern seaboard adds to the confusion sometimes.

I was referring to Chester, but yeah I'm only 12 miles or so from Geno's and Pat's

Philly is bad, but Chester and Camden, NJ make Philly look like the burbs...

Luckily for me the mile makes a HUGE difference, cause my town isn't anything even remotely like the Ghetto.. Definitely suburbia here..

i would imagine there is a pretty high demand for stones in that town. there at least 3 shootings there a week probally more but thats all i hear about from the cops i know.

Yeah some huge gang related funerals with ornate monuments..and unfortunately the funeral homes need security..due to retailiation..I read an interesting article about that in last months Director magazine. It would be sick if it snows enough that we can have an urban railjam right in Newark or Camden...With some baggy snowboard pants..we'll fit in..:spin:
