Well seeing as how the first wave set the table for the second, watching how that one played out mattered more than the second. Clearly the euro isn't doing as good a job as people have come to expect.
No one controls weather. This will be another miss x2, one north and one south. It is what it is. And meanwhile those that get snow will get snow. I know my climo, I know what it takes to get snow here. My concerns will often be very different from yours and I don't always articulate them every storm. While snow is very IMBY for most I don't care to win the most snow every storm. I just want to be at the table and that is getting more and more difficult given changing conditions. So now its to enjoy the snow that falls for my friends and commiserate with those that also miss.
Appreciate you
