No Snow, Again — Will We See Any This Year?

This weekend was the third time in 2013 that there have been calls for a "possibility," of snow, but except for a very little in some areas north of Atlanta earlier this year, none has materialized.

Snow has been scarce in the local area this year, to say the least. Definitely not enough to get any of those beautiful snow scenery photographs we all rush out to get. For the third time this year, there were some "slight" predictions for a chance this morning, but that didn't pan out either. Is 2013 doomed to be yet another snow-free year? If the Old Farmer's Almanac is anything to go by, it is starting to look like that will be the case.

According to the long range forecast in the Old Farmer's Almanac for February, Feb. 1 - 7 was the best chance of snow and we now know that didn't happen. There is another possibility Feb 21 - 28, but after that, nothing.

Do you think we will see any snow this year or are those chances getting slimmer by the day? Is the only chance we'll get to see snow in 2013 if we go back on our Facebook Timeline to photos from years past?

Sharon, I would like to say no that we will see no snow but, considering that I am no North Georgia Weather, all I can say is that I will not be comfortable, weatherwise, until the last day of March is over.

I recently moved here from Massachusetts and have seen enough snow for a lifetime. The happiest day of my life was when I "put my snow blower up for adoption". Both myself and my snow blower are quite happy in our new homes!

I'm certainly not looking for another snowmaggedon, but just a dusting once a year would make me happy. I feel like something is missing when we hit spring with no snow at all! That picture I took in downtown Monroe in 2010, and once a decade of a snow like that is fine for me, but a dusting, pleeez!!

Guy Sharpe used to say.....We are not out of the woods as far as snow is concerned until the end of April.... I have seen it snow the last week of April

The weather pattern is the same as Feb93 and long time Lilburn residents should remember what happened the first week of March

I just recently moved here to Lawrenceville from Florida. I've gotten so excited to see the snow icon on the weather app on my phone....but then I was disappointed to see no snow. I was really hoping to see something this morning even if it were just a few flurries. Hoping to see something soon!

There are plenty of pics on the weather channel pf snow. Channel 362 on direct TV. ha ha!
I love to see the snow. I love it to come one day or two and then leave!!! We moved here in 1994. That was the year after the "Blizzard everyone talks about. We watched a lot of the "Blizzard" on the weather channel. I asked my wife, "are you really sure you want to move there?"

David, it's still there we are just in the process of working out the bug on uploading photos toRead More articles that we authored (ugh!). I just didn't want to promote it and have people try and upload photos unsuccessfully. Depending on how long it takes to address this issue, I may keep June open through part of July - I hope not. If you have any photos you want to add, email them to me and I will upload them for you in the meantime.

That is the strawberry fields. I have a picture of the strawberry fields between the welcome toRead More Loganville and welcome to Grayson signs that I will get up soon.

Rabies tag on dog leads to a disconnected owners number
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 18, 2013 at 06:11 pm
Yea, sorry David. We are still dealing with some "issues." It rejected Jason's blog, andRead More none of us, not even our top regional editor, is being given authority to release it. Poor Jason, I know he so hates being rejected! And we hate it happening to him. The people not being "bugged" by technical issues, however, are reporting that it is super easy to use.

I wonder. Will Patch restore the reply button and add a responded to your comment notification?
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 19, 2013 at 09:21 am
Please keep these comments coming. We are forwarding all these issues to our production team. TheRead More ones that are most pressing are more likely to be addressed first. Once we have the initial roll out completed and working well, the tweaking will begin.
Dave June 19, 2013 at 07:28 pm
I'm just reporting the news, Skal. I don't know the reasons although I could speculate. Just keepRead More your head down and don't answer the door.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:43 pm
Okay Dave ;-) Whatever you say:-) :-)
Good Grief Y'all June 19, 2013 at 07:47 pm
Scawwy stuff.
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 18, 2013 at 03:05 pm
Tom, I will see if I can find the connection.
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 18, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Good news! Her name is Izzi and she has been reunited with her owners.
Tom Laverick June 18, 2013 at 09:42 pm
Great News!!!!

All good points, Skalawag. I think bullying is a big problem with teens. When people are bulliedRead More they either become depressed and introverted or they become bullies themselves. We have examples all around us ;) " the government phobic response" . . . good one and a perfect description of so very many comments on Patch.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:50 pm
As usual Dave all you have are complaints about possible solutions but NO solutions of your own toRead More offer.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:55 pm
There's one in particular GGY.
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 07:35 pm
I remember my Great Grandmother putting just enough coffee in a cup of milk to color the milk and weRead More would sit and have our "morning coffee" together before we went to the farmer's market on Saturdays or before we went to church on Sundays. Those were some of my most cherished times in my life.
Sharon Swanepoel (Editor) June 19, 2013 at 07:58 pm
So glad you have found your voice again Skalawag!
TheSkalawag June 19, 2013 at 08:12 pm
Me too. Couldn't have done it without you and your great IT team. Thank you Sharon.
Tammy Osier June 17, 2013 at 01:53 pm
DR, seems like an oxymoron doesn't it? I'd like to hear from someone who is actually from there toRead More find out their spin on why they even enter a contestant in the first place. It's my understanding that a woman that shows that much skin in public will be flogged or worse? Maybe democracy is taking ahold in some places, who knows?
Good Grief Y'all June 17, 2013 at 03:24 pm
I was wrong. Guys are interested pageants. You would no doubt be happy if the contestants justRead More wore the face shawl with their bikinis.
Karsten Torch June 17, 2013 at 04:30 pm
Couple of thoughts - One, why hold it in a land where there is going to be this kind of protest?Read More Just move it and don't worry about it. Other, I find it interesting how the Muslims want us to be understanding and inclusive of their beliefs, but don't even think they'll allow anything they don't agree with. Just a tad bit hypocritical...

You mean the FEES don't you? Cause they aint taxes don't you know...

They're not Americans. They don't deserve to step foot on American soil.
Good Grief Y'all June 13, 2013 at 01:34 pm
Meh, a difference without distinction.
Good Grief Y'all June 13, 2013 at 01:37 pm
Huh, you learn something once in a while on Patch blog threads. I didn't know you must be anRead More American citizen to be tried and convicted of crimes against America . . . ;p I think John and Sarah could handle them . . . you betcha! They would probably beg to be sent back to Gitmo. LOL
