Have we even had six weeks of winter to begin with? Feels like late fall/early spring with a few snowy days thrown in.

seriously. i’m not complaining but it’s been mellow.

I’m going to complain … anything under 40 degrees & I hate it ….I’m out there looking like I live in the North Pole …

I think I recall a day or two where it got down to the low 20's. Does that count?
nardlz t1_j719la3 wrote
SE? because up this way we had -8 with a real feel of -35 for a couple days and that was enough winter for me!

Six more weeks of what we've had so far seems...bearable?

I'm in my thirties and when I was a kid we had winter, all-winter. The freak warm days would come once a season.
Now the whole season is freak warm days.
If you have the opportunity to sabotage a private jet, you should do it.
Mijbr090490 t1_j6wzmxx wrote
Same here. Blizzard every couple of years and bitter cold. I like the warmer weather, but it's kinda scary. All fun and games until PA is a coastal state.

On the plus side - shark fishing in the Allegheny, if things get crazy enough. Braeburn Beach could become a bonefish flat.
Sure, millions or billions will die, but the fishing!

If anyone is curious, it is a historically bad year for snow:
Third year la Nina and a strong southern ridge really kinda fucked us all year.

I know, I'm 50 now and in my teens and early 20s we were lucky to have one or two warm days all winter. I feel like snow was on the ground at least half of the winter.
Stupidpieceofshit77 t1_j6wore6 wrote
I'm in the Poconos. It's going to be really cold the next few days, then back up to near 50. If that's what 6 more weeks means, I'll take it.
YeeshOk06 t1_j6wzdva wrote
Yup. Just moved up here last summer and was all prepared. Now I’m looking around like Vince Vega in Pulp Fiction.
oldschoolskater OP t1_j6wn9i7 wrote
The good thing is he's only right 40% of the time. After Saturday swpa is forcast to be close to 50 degrees for about ten days.
lanfear2020 t1_j6wyw4c wrote
When is winter gonna start?
Middle_Aged_Mayhem t1_j6x0hcs wrote
So, since he's right only 40% of the time, isn't it more likely to be an early spring?

Winter haha... It isn't winter if your best snowfall was a dusting that lasted an hour.... By far the mildest winter I've seen in 39 years....
Where the hell are the 2+ ft blizzards at??

You know... Reading all these comments of "we haven't had a winter yet" cool it guys. It's still February. I don't want all of us to jinx it and get 4' dumped on us in 2 weeks.

If winter is just six more weeks of rain and 40 degree weather, how will we know when spring gets here?

Well it's a Fox News report, so I take it with a grain of salt.

I mean, if it's winter like it's been then I think we're gonna be ok.

That would align with the celestial sequence of seasons. I believe the spring equinox is March 20th. Who gets advice from a ground dwelling rodent anyways? All woodchucks do is ruin my garden. No sanctuary for woodchucks.

Phil is wrong most of the time, so it's always safe to assume the opposite of whatever he says is true.

Friend: “It seems like sometimes he tries to bite them when they hold him” Me: “Imagine you’re asleep. Perfect-comfy. In your bed. Basically on vacation and don’t have fuck all to do til spring. Suddenly, some dickhead in a top hat nabs your ass and drags you out into the light. Cameras flashing. People and noises everywhere. Idk about you, but I’m trying to bite him 100% of the time.”

from Feb 2nd to the first day of spring is about 6 weeks. so Phil is correct.
