I am probably mixing it up then with a different winter.

Power plants are expensive to operate, no surprise they sold them off. IIRC 1996 had snow on the ground for almost all winter. I remember my street being snowpacked, with just ruts where car tires went thru, until late February. This big blizzard was tough to dig out from because of what you mentioned, intensity dropped off a bit, then ramped up more. Even with going out there every couple of hours, it was a lot of back breaking shoveling, just because there was so much of it.

Quadrantids meteor showers are about peak right now.

I am surprised at how many changes we see over North America we see, when the Greenland block weakens a bit, but is in place until at least the 19th as per the models.

How well insulated is your home? Poor insulation can really drive up the amount of oil/gas/electric you use to heat your home.

The 9th? Are any other models or runs supporting this look yet?

Another clipper type system? Unless those get energized when they hit the coast, precip is going to be on the light side as they have no moisture to work with. From what I saw on the models southern jet is cut off from the northern one, so no sytems diving south to pick up GoM moisture, then coming up the coast for a wallop.

Go home NAM12k 0z run, you are drunk.

Those dogs probably romped for a bit in that snow, then laid down for naps in it. Then the neighborhood Karen or Chad called the cops complaining about you mistreating your dogs.

If you find out, let me know, I want to try some of that fine bud.

Is it too early to ask for the timing for the storm on Dec 26-27? Not worried about totals yet.

January thaw?

NJ is issuing drought warnings due to how low the reservoirs are right now. We need precip, be it rain, or snow. But something to fill them up.

Woke up to a dusting of snow by me in NJ.

I don't see anything on the models giving anyone in the tristate area anything more than a possible snow shower or flurry tomorrow.
