The DC Snow Hole

I've always gotten really excited about snow, or the possibility of it. I pretty much moved to DC for it. I was all, Snowmageddon, here I come! I grabbed my bag full of scarves and hats – useless in Dallas – and headed north.



So how many times has it snowed since I moved here? (We're talking accumulation here, of course.)

ZERO.

I'm getting so screwed here! And to add insult to injury, Dallas got a major ice storm last winter that shut down the city for like a week. What the hell, Nature??

Today I got my explanation...I can blame the DC Snow Hole. Evidently this is A Thing. Look!



This is some serious bullshit. I had definitely noted over the summer months that we were getting mysteriously skipped by all the storms, which totally sucks because those little temperature dips allow me a few minutes to squeegee off my swamp-ass. But I digress.

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? (The Snow Hole, not the swamp-ass thing.) How is this happening?

On a related note, I think I'd like to be a weather forecaster. You can be wrong all the time and it's fine.
