On this part I think you misunderstand me. I would be ecstatic if it happened. But I just don't like to bet on post PD for bigger snows because it just doesn't happen often enough. I just don't trust it, tbh. Yeah you could point to an example here or there, but we have more hits in prime climo than outside of it! So it's more of a confidence thing...I'd rather take a swing for a 6"+ during the historically best calendar period for snow than to try for afterward. Feels like ya have a better chance! But this isn't scientific though, lol
As far as next week is concerned, I'm not at all giving up on snow prospects. Though admittedly I did lose a little interest for Tues-Wed. Hey we do better with warning events on weekends anyway (another weird historical quirk we have around here)
