Normally I root against snow for other regions when I can't have any, but I honestly hope it works out for ski country. Been an awful start to the season and I have never been invested in this...non starter here.
N Stream dominant pattern is like an assembly line of of Canadian snipers...you never know which one will strike and when. Usually we end up focusing on the wrong wave/time frame, and before you know it....WHAM.
00z EPS was definitely more intrigued by the clipper.
I will go on record right now as saying I will be shocked if we make it through 1/23 without any decent snows......like greater than 3" type deal. One of these will produce, and it may not be the one that has the most attention.
That is a long range forecasting error that I will gladly take....would likely result in more snow, and its pretty explainable why with the SSW. I hate going snowy and busting.
