The Waning Winterless Winter

Is is time to stick a fork yet into this abysmal winter season? Well, technically, some in our region still could receive a little bit more snowfall before Spring begins in earnest.

However, as of March 10, 2020, when we look at the snowfall totals, some numbers might indicate a decent winter for some. But, we have to look at the averages for each location.

Although 15.0" sounds like a decent amount of snowfall for Louisville, who should be seeing 11.6" right now, Indianapolis should be seeing a little over 24", so that 15.0" is only about 61 percent of  normal. St. Louis' total of 14.3" represents a closer approximation to average than anyone in our region, at 89% of normal.

Charleston, WV has recorded 10.8", but that represents only 34 percent of what they should have seen by now. Some locations in our region are reporting only 14 to 17 percent of normal snowfall.

So, nobody in our region has seen above normal snowfall. Again, some values might change, but it's likely that most in our region will not record much more snowfall over the next few weeks.

I say let's get this thing over with. I'm tired of bashing all of the forecasters who got this winter wrong, again. For some of these quacks, this is their 3rd winter out of 4 they have missed, not a good track record if you ask me.

I guess as long as they are out there entertaining the viewers with the HOPE for more snow, most viewers will forgive their favorite TV personality and eagerly look forward to the next winter 'show'.

No need for a disclaimer when the winter 'forecast' comes out next time, your track record speaks for itself.
