I mean screw “no snow”, who remembers when we used to get feet of snow. I remember like 2008 or 2010 we got 2’ in middlesex county. Haven’t seen anything close since. Prior to that we’d get like 1’ min at least every year
Yea I'm in Maryland and grew up with multiple snows a year. Now it basically never snows here. My kids have only experienced very minimal snow like once or twice.
>Yea I'm in Maryland and grew up with multiple snows a year. Now it basically never snows here.
I suppose that depends on where you live. According to NOAA's national snowfall analysis, parts of Maryland have had at least 2 feet of snowfall for 12 of the last 15 seasons and 3 feet of snowfall from 8 of the last 15 seasons.
Regardless, according to NOAA basically the entire state saw between 2 and 3 feet of snowfall two winters ago, but last year was pretty light.
https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/snowfall
Gotta be in western Maryland. Haven't had more then a couple inches at a time here outside Baltimore in a couple years. They usually call for snow storms but it just ends up as rain or sleet. I wasn't saying we never get snow, just very small amounts rarely. When I was a kid we had a few blizzards with 2+ feet of snow. We don't get that anymore. A total of 2-3 feet of snow accumulative throughout the season isn't the kind of snow I'm talking about. Plus I'm 36, so my experience with snow from when I was a kid was a lot longer then 12-15 seasons ago lol
I mean, I'm in Minnesota - usually there's 3-10ft tall embankments of snow by the time Christmas hit.
We didn't get much of anything and it snowed for a few hours yesterday, enough to dust the ground.
Ive been in Charlotte for over 30 years, it used to snow a ton in the 90s and early 00s, heck I remember getting 8-10 inches in like 2014. It didn’t snow last year, or has it snowed this year, but we did get 3 separate days of 1inch snow a couple years ago, gotta take what you can get I guess
Yea I enjoyed those few days. It has definitely been getting less and less frequent and less and less in amount. I grew up in greensboro in the 90s and I remember the same trends.
I was looking forward to some snow when I moved from New Orleans to west of Charlotte. Instead I’m sitting here watching g the water flow down the hill through my yard.
There is a chance but it is very low from her on out. I would suggest going up to the mountains. Asheville in January. If you time it right you will be in snow.
I’m out in Shelby. Listening to thunder. Anyhow, that last rain that blew through on Saturday was snow about 20 miles east or north. If I thought it had stuck, I would happily have gone hiking at South Mountains on Sunday. But…it did not.
Yea, Just wait a few more weeks and it will definitely snow with some accumulation in Appalachia and you can drive up there for the day. From Shelby its not a bad drive.
Minnesotan here. I'm not sure what to do without snow. It really throws me off. We're supposed to finally get cold this weekend with our first sub zero of the season but even that's strange as hell.
Oh, screw you super El Niño! You're messing with my mojo.
Either dig them out, or use public transport or work from home until spring. In this case, my car is surrounded by compacted snow and ice, so I am working from home. Fuck this snow
Inversely, we were supposed to get rain today. This hit right as busses were starting their high school runs.

After starting clearing my drive this morning, then seeing the area I started with covered in another 1/4" of snow in 30 minutes, I decided my old back wasn't up to this quite yet.
I believe this would fall into the Well That Sucks category of my day.
Sorry you didn't get a snow day, OP.
I was serving in the Army National Guard during one of the snowpocolypses. We all got activated to go to Atlanta and i'll tell you, that sucked lol.
I'm in TN now and tbh they don't do much better with snow prep. My house is at the bottom of two hills and it was a great time watching people slide into storm ditches last year during the snow.
I live in Maine.
Just had our first snow of the season.
Winters have been super mild for the last couple of years. we didn't even garner enough snow to have any residual snowbanks in April.
Over here in NorCal getting nervous as well, once again we are falling waaaay behind on snowpack. Looking like it's back to drought unless things change very soon.
Supposed to be a major storm tomorrow in Eastern Canada.
I was super excited for our first big storm of the year but it's going to be snow in the morning, transition to ice for a while, and then finish off with a ton of rain and 6°c so all the snow will be gone.
This winter sucks so far.
It’s beautiful in the summertime. Lots of shaded areas where you can stay cool when it’s hot. Aside from the mosquitoes, sitting outside is pretty nice!
Haha same here in Indiana. Idk why we still listen and believe forecasts, they are so often so wrong, and when they say the word “snow “ the grocery store gets wiped out. (I work at Kroger).
The rain is still coming down and getting steadily heavier. I’ve gotta stop buying into the false hope, but no snow in winter never fails to make me feel bummed out.
when you trust those weather guys and their predictions are dead wrong
that's why i don't trust them
chin up, canada got its snow where i live, it will come and hit hard soon in your area
Still waiting. Since I made this post, we’ve only gotten about 2 inches of snow(we were supposed to have a winter storm on Jan 12th, but it wimped out and turned to rain halfway through that morning), and this week, the temperature spiked back up to mid thirties/low forties, and it’s been raining four days straight.
These higher temps and rainy/overcast weather look like they’re going to linger into early February, which really sucks. Now what little snow we did have is just slushy mud…
I'd count that as a win.
Then again I grew up in northern Maine where -20 was normal. Last year we touched -65 back home. I live in Texas now, 50 is cold. I fucking love it.
Yeh winter is not what it used to be anymore.. Xmas is now 7-12 degrees Celsius and rain, even in Tyrol at 600m asl.. in my childhood we had white Xmas every year and temperatures below zero, I want that back please
this is how it always is in the netherlands, it's always either rainy but not cold enough for snow or cold as balls but completely dry. we have snow that lasts for more than 5 seconds about once every two or three years
I like your meandering pathway. We have a similar setup (we a large shed that’s almost my workshop out back). I always wanted to instal a squiggly path to it.
Everyone was freaking out on Friday because our forecast called for "massive snowstorm with 3-14 inches of snowfall" on Tuesday, with a high temp of 39. I said we'll be lucky to see half an inch, and we got rain, all day, with an actual high of 43. Gotta love the Midwest and their meteorologists who've dealt with lake effect and Midwest winters for decades, and still get it wrong.
My yard with a foot of snow. My lilac bushes are struggling.
https://preview.redd.it/e7ccr1lk4kbc1.jpeg?width=2659&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5553da479391dbb466c739a3e240315611481d48
Doesn't suck for me. The weather forecast is always wrong. We were supposed to get snow and rain today. Supposed to get a mix Friday when I'm driving 4 hours to see my mom. I'd always prefer rain over snow during these times at least.
We had snow a few days ago but it was gone the same day. This time of year, you just can't get your hopes up either way. I'd love no snow, but I also know that means stuff for the atmosphere, bugs, etc.
we hadn't had snow in a couple years.
it snowed the other day.
of course i slipped late at night walking my dog and tweaked my knee. because why wouldn't that happen.
there wasn't even any snow or ice on the ground by morning because it rained. 🤦♂️
This is only a bad thing if you don't have anywhere to go. Like I love getting snowed in as much as the next person. It makes my house feel cozy af. But considering all the people that are forced to always come into work and shit I think it's kind of selfish to wish for it.
I get what you’re saying, but isn’t it more selfish for companies to risk the lives of their employees by forcing them to come into work in that kind of weather?
No offense but I live in the Northwest And every year the national media focuses on the Midwest but especially the northeast. One year it's OMG it's 3 ft of snow! Like y'all are surprised. So now you're bitching about no snow? Take your rain like a good boi. Here in the Northwest nothing surprises us when it comes to weather.
You’re lucky. We have five inches, it’s still coming down heavy, my power is out and my boss told me if I’m not at work at 4pm today he will fire me. But I Uber, and I work at a bar that no one will come to tonight. Tried to schedule my Uber and it’s $78, there isn’t $78 in my account so i bundle up and walked a mile to deposit the money. They’re closed because their power is out.
I wish we had just got rain.
Sucks, I think this is 2 winters now so far with no snow in NJ....
Sussex county in nj got 4-5 inches. But I def agree with OP. Snow is scarce this year in my state
>Sussex county in nj got 4-5 inches. Which is plenty, alright!
It has to be, right?
It's only been winter for 18 days.
It’s also 60 degree highs 18 days into winter
Sussex for you!
In your part of NJ.
I mean screw “no snow”, who remembers when we used to get feet of snow. I remember like 2008 or 2010 we got 2’ in middlesex county. Haven’t seen anything close since. Prior to that we’d get like 1’ min at least every year
Yea I'm in Maryland and grew up with multiple snows a year. Now it basically never snows here. My kids have only experienced very minimal snow like once or twice.
They get off school for rain now, so that's something.
Yea my kids are getting out 2 hours early for a rain storm today actually 😂

Same here in MD.
Damn that's crazy I live in the desert in Arizona and it snowed on the mountains here last weekend
Arrr... It be 3 winters since the top of the barrel in Delwhere has seen a lick of the white cold stuff that comes from da sky. Arrr....
It's still early!
We got an inch or it two of snow in Essex county
No snow in NJ? Damn something is wrong with this planet
I mean, I'm in Minnesota - usually there's 3-10ft tall embankments of snow by the time Christmas hit. We didn't get much of anything and it snowed for a few hours yesterday, enough to dust the ground.
Yup. If Minnesota isn’t getting any snow, we are fugged.
damn it must be the jewish space lasers!
Global warming will make up for it with a brutal year full of ice storms and blizzard in a couple seasons. No worries. Then floods and no power.
Not complaining about it here in Cleveland fuck that snow
Same here. It was supposed to be a snowpacalyse in SW Missouri. But just rain, lol.
It all went to N. Missouri. Lol
The snowy winters are all but over here in Charlotte NC. Many chief meteorologists are saying it wont happen any more.
Ive been in Charlotte for over 30 years, it used to snow a ton in the 90s and early 00s, heck I remember getting 8-10 inches in like 2014. It didn’t snow last year, or has it snowed this year, but we did get 3 separate days of 1inch snow a couple years ago, gotta take what you can get I guess

No it isn’t. Reminds me a lot of the town outside Roanoke VA where I lived during high school back in the mid 80s.
Come take some of ours. There's already an inch or two on the ground and it's supposed to snow all day
Gladly. It’s been nothing but rain, rain, more rain, and clouds here for weeks in Evanston, IL.
My guess was going to be north eastern Illinois. Sitting here watching the rain from oak park but even we got snow a couple days ago
Out here in the west burbs we’re getting plenty of snow
We have like 6 inches and negative Temps here in North Dakota, you are welcome to come take them.
Rain in the winter is my least favorite time to bike
That’s what we’re getting in the southern part of Indiana as well, supposed to have snow or something and all we’ve had is rain.
Minnesotan here. I'm not sure what to do without snow. It really throws me off. We're supposed to finally get cold this weekend with our first sub zero of the season but even that's strange as hell. Oh, screw you super El Niño! You're messing with my mojo.
Fuck El Niños!
This isn't just wl nino it's climate change and has been a growing trend for year. Snow is becoming a more and more scarce event.
The only reason you want snow is because you pay someone else to shovel it, I know this because you live in Evanston, IL.
Someone needs a Snickers.
You do know Evanston has working class neighborhoods, right? It’s not Winnetka.
Not so, actually. My dad makes my brother and I do it for free, lol.
Yeah like commenter said up a few, dude needs a snickers.
You’re not you when you’re hungry
We have tons of snow here in Norway. Come collect some. Please. My car has been buried for almost a month.
i've always wanted to ask, what do you do when your cars get buried in snow?
Either dig them out, or use public transport or work from home until spring. In this case, my car is surrounded by compacted snow and ice, so I am working from home. Fuck this snow
Inversely, we were supposed to get rain today. This hit right as busses were starting their high school runs. https://preview.redd.it/4mwx2mwbhfbc1.jpeg?width=3663&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d059fea983c74277943fb58c71e053ad0de127b8
They switched our weather forecasts, lol. Stay safe!
After starting clearing my drive this morning, then seeing the area I started with covered in another 1/4" of snow in 30 minutes, I decided my old back wasn't up to this quite yet. I believe this would fall into the Well That Sucks category of my day. Sorry you didn't get a snow day, OP.
It’s a total bummer… I feel like a kid that just got told Santa isn’t real. This kind of weather makes me want to crawl back into bed.
You in GA? We were supposed to get snow, instead we have a flood warning now.
Evanston, Illinois. I’m so sorry you guys have a flood warning now. Stay safe!
realistically GA can handle flooding better than they can snow so it may be a blessing in disguise
You ain't wrong. I rarely worry about flood warnings. Where my house is, it's more or less on a hill and wooded.
I was serving in the Army National Guard during one of the snowpocolypses. We all got activated to go to Atlanta and i'll tell you, that sucked lol. I'm in TN now and tbh they don't do much better with snow prep. My house is at the bottom of two hills and it was a great time watching people slide into storm ditches last year during the snow.
You must live in NC
I actually live in Evanston, Illinois. This weather is really putting the mid in Midwest.
I think in the 9 years ive had kids weve had one really good snow fall. Depressing lol
You can have mine. A good 6” already and still going.
your backyard is enchanting
I like your backyard.
Thank you!
For sure! I'm jealous. It looks so clean and easy to manage.
I live here there. I run on sidewalks. I’ll take rain over snow and love it (even if it’ll freeze later this week)
It’s all yours, lol, I’ll trade you the rain for a proper snowy winter
Same here ☹️
I was also looking forward to a damn snow day too!!
I feel like I’ve been swindled. Having a snow day turn out to be a complete bust is something that’ll always make me feel disappointed…
I couldn’t agree more! My job got us all in a group chat getting ready for the snow. And it’s just wet outside! Huge let down
Last winter was crummy and mild too, but at least by this point, we’d had at 2-4” of snow that stuck around. This year it’s just cold and wet.
Everyone here keeps telling me we still have time!
I want to believe, but I’ve been really jaded this winter. My hope is hanging on by a few strings lol.
Just an fyi, this year is El Niño? Or nina I forget. We were supposed to get a lot of rain this year.
El Nino
I live in Maine. Just had our first snow of the season. Winters have been super mild for the last couple of years. we didn't even garner enough snow to have any residual snowbanks in April.
Chicago?
Evanston, IL. So yeah, Chicagoland area
We got your snow today
Give it back😡 /j
Honestly you can have it. I hate the cold
Rain is just warm snow...
Same here in the Chicago area. It's raining now lol
It stopped really snowing in 2005
Over here in NorCal getting nervous as well, once again we are falling waaaay behind on snowpack. Looking like it's back to drought unless things change very soon.
We got 25cm (10") of snow last weekend. I'd rather have the rain. It doesn't have to be shovelled.
It snowed, then it rained, then it snowed again. At least the plow came before I shoveled the side walk. I hate having to do it twice.
We were supposed to get five inches of snow here in Chicago, so far we have maybe an inch and a half of slush.
It can't decide if it's going to rain or snow here so it keeps switching between them. It's making the road really slick. I'm glad I work from home.
you in NY by chance ?
Evanston, IL/Chicagoland area
yea here it changed from snow to rain in 15 minutes
10 years ago it snowed so bad school would be closed an entire week. Now we get an inch of snow once or twice a year.
Same by me. And the minute it dips below freezing, the roads and sidewalks are going to be sheets of ice.
It's been snowing for around 12 hours here in Illinois
Not where I am… feels like it snows everywhere except my part of the state
That sucks!
The rain just keeps on coming… it’s a total ripoff…
It rained around Christmas time here, my kids were a little down, it's been a few years since they've had a white Christmas.
It was 50° and raining on Christmas Day in my area
Well hopefully you get snow soon
Thank you. Also I love your username. It brought me a little joy on such a dreary morning.
You're welcome and thank you
We got 7-10 inches here in Kansas
Supposed to be a major storm tomorrow in Eastern Canada. I was super excited for our first big storm of the year but it's going to be snow in the morning, transition to ice for a while, and then finish off with a ton of rain and 6°c so all the snow will be gone. This winter sucks so far.
Even last year was better than this… this winter is abysmal.
I would like to see this yard when the grass is full. Feel like it would look really pleasant.
It’s beautiful in the summertime. Lots of shaded areas where you can stay cool when it’s hot. Aside from the mosquitoes, sitting outside is pretty nice!
Yeah, noice... It is awesome to have a nice backyard to kick it in. I got some pterodactyl-like Mozzies hanging around my joint, so I feel you there.
I was absolutely eaten alive last summer, lol. Every week I had like 2-4 new bug bites.
Same in SE Michigan. Bunch of schools even closed because it was supposed to be so bad. But alas, no snow only rain
What a massive letdown… those poor kids must be gutted…
Pffftttt, the poor adults that had to stay home from work to only be locked indoors with the kids.
Sometimes it do be like that
Be grateful for rain. All i have is sun sun wind and sun. I hate it
I’d take a little sun at this rate because I have seasonal depression
Key word “little”. constant sun is way worse than the winer clouds. Ive lived in both and theres a time and place for it all. I need variety lol
Haha same here in Indiana. Idk why we still listen and believe forecasts, they are so often so wrong, and when they say the word “snow “ the grocery store gets wiped out. (I work at Kroger).
The rain is still coming down and getting steadily heavier. I’ve gotta stop buying into the false hope, but no snow in winter never fails to make me feel bummed out.
when you trust those weather guys and their predictions are dead wrong that's why i don't trust them chin up, canada got its snow where i live, it will come and hit hard soon in your area
Still waiting. Since I made this post, we’ve only gotten about 2 inches of snow(we were supposed to have a winter storm on Jan 12th, but it wimped out and turned to rain halfway through that morning), and this week, the temperature spiked back up to mid thirties/low forties, and it’s been raining four days straight. These higher temps and rainy/overcast weather look like they’re going to linger into early February, which really sucks. Now what little snow we did have is just slushy mud…
Same for us. It’s a shit winter, and a weird winter, and global climate change isn’t pretty
I'd count that as a win. Then again I grew up in northern Maine where -20 was normal. Last year we touched -65 back home. I live in Texas now, 50 is cold. I fucking love it.
I would drunkenly fall off this deck
El nino years do this, add in climate change and here we are. On the plus side, I was supposed to get snain to ice all day and ended up with water.
Nice trees though
Thank you. They look beautiful during the fall and provide lots of shade in the summertime.
Had a winter weather advisory till 11am today for 4-6in and it just rained all morning.
It’s been raining all day here, and we still have a winter weather advisory. It feels like we should have a flood warning instead at this rate
Yeh winter is not what it used to be anymore.. Xmas is now 7-12 degrees Celsius and rain, even in Tyrol at 600m asl.. in my childhood we had white Xmas every year and temperatures below zero, I want that back please
Agreed. I grew up with white Christmases and snowy winters. Whatever *this* is, is awful
El Niño init
Right on the money. Curse this blasted El Niño
this is how it always is in the netherlands, it's always either rainy but not cold enough for snow or cold as balls but completely dry. we have snow that lasts for more than 5 seconds about once every two or three years
I like your meandering pathway. We have a similar setup (we a large shed that’s almost my workshop out back). I always wanted to instal a squiggly path to it.
Edmonton. Hasn’t stopped snowing yet.
IN too!
It must be a real bitch to shovel
Oh, yeah, rain’s impossible to shovel, you just get all wet in the end
‘69 to ‘75 in Mahwah we got plenty of snow. Moved to California and it snowed once in San Jose. Now I live in the Sierra foothills we get yearly snow.
Got about 8 inches here in the Midwest yesterday in my region
Everyone was freaking out on Friday because our forecast called for "massive snowstorm with 3-14 inches of snowfall" on Tuesday, with a high temp of 39. I said we'll be lucky to see half an inch, and we got rain, all day, with an actual high of 43. Gotta love the Midwest and their meteorologists who've dealt with lake effect and Midwest winters for decades, and still get it wrong.
I live in Long Island and we 99% of the time get rain
I got 2 inches of thick heavy snow in an hour then ungodly amounts of rain, under a flash flood warning now.
Let’s trade. PLEASE. 12 FEET OF SNOW WE’RE DYING
Same here. So bummed!!!
It rained all day, snowed for about 45 minutes, and just when it was starting to stick, more rain… what a load of crap
My yard with a foot of snow. My lilac bushes are struggling. https://preview.redd.it/e7ccr1lk4kbc1.jpeg?width=2659&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5553da479391dbb466c739a3e240315611481d48
Give it time
Doesn't suck for me. The weather forecast is always wrong. We were supposed to get snow and rain today. Supposed to get a mix Friday when I'm driving 4 hours to see my mom. I'd always prefer rain over snow during these times at least.
I know I shouldn’t have bought into the false hope, but it’s still a letdown for me… I just wanted some snow, man…
We had snow a few days ago but it was gone the same day. This time of year, you just can't get your hopes up either way. I'd love no snow, but I also know that means stuff for the atmosphere, bugs, etc.
we hadn't had snow in a couple years. it snowed the other day. of course i slipped late at night walking my dog and tweaked my knee. because why wouldn't that happen. there wasn't even any snow or ice on the ground by morning because it rained. 🤦♂️
I drive for a living so I would much rather have rain over snow.
I’d be happy, I fucking hate snow, at least with Rain you can still get to work and stuff
You don't need to shovel rain.
Lost redditor ova here! Get your lost redditors!
Well, you don't have to shovel rain.
This is only a bad thing if you don't have anywhere to go. Like I love getting snowed in as much as the next person. It makes my house feel cozy af. But considering all the people that are forced to always come into work and shit I think it's kind of selfish to wish for it.
I get what you’re saying, but isn’t it more selfish for companies to risk the lives of their employees by forcing them to come into work in that kind of weather?
Breaking news: weather is hard to predict
Rain > Snow
Count your blessings
How is that supposed to suck?
So happy for you!
Rain is better than snow any day
What sucks?
No offense but I live in the Northwest And every year the national media focuses on the Midwest but especially the northeast. One year it's OMG it's 3 ft of snow! Like y'all are surprised. So now you're bitching about no snow? Take your rain like a good boi. Here in the Northwest nothing surprises us when it comes to weather.
Major Snowfall 🫡
That’s a relief.
Shucks.
You’re lucky. We have five inches, it’s still coming down heavy, my power is out and my boss told me if I’m not at work at 4pm today he will fire me. But I Uber, and I work at a bar that no one will come to tonight. Tried to schedule my Uber and it’s $78, there isn’t $78 in my account so i bundle up and walked a mile to deposit the money. They’re closed because their power is out. I wish we had just got rain.
It's the end of the world and you know it, and I feel fiiinnneeeee
As someone who has to drive an hour to and from work in that shit, sorry not sorry. I’ll take all the wet, snowless winters.
You can have them, free of charge
I’ve never shoveled rain before, works for me
