Gonna be kinda funny to see just how far south it gets...just how far north was this modeled just a couple days ago? Lol

Dude I hear ya, lol It's too soon! (unless it actually produces)...I'm trying to live a better mental life after Thursday's disappointment...and now here this comes to tempt me, lol

That the one where that GL low screwed up something in the timing?

So what does the long range show in terms of getting more cold into Canada?

So this time around...it wasn't the thermally challenged base state that did it, but just another bit of random chaos unable to be seen at a longer range? Oh the roll of the atmospheric dice...lol

It's probably better for the Bills that they lost here...than to win and potentially lose ANOTHER Superbowl...that would've been worse, imo

Yeah but it's dark, and I didn't happen to look outside...and whatever frozen we are gonna get wasn't supposed to come until tomorrow...

Wait it's snowing outside? Lol

Given how this month has gone...I'm not even gonna be convinced of anything until I see legit cold air...

And I'm wondering why Rodgers didn't just run it in on 3rd down! He had space!

No player has been named MVP and won a Super Bowl in the same season since 1999...and here it happens again, lol Wow...home team Superbowl--that's really something! But now, I'm not sure we can guess how this likely ends...but whichever opponent, gonna be a good game.

That is correct...and I have not given it nearly as much space in my mind and life as I need to. I know I could be putting a lot more of myself into it instead of wasting mental energy the way I have...thanks for the words of advice guys

But how does having zero control over it prevent disappointment, though? I don't get that...You want something to happen, it doesn't happen, disappointment. What am I missing, here? I'd love for your way of seeing it to be the cure all for all the disappointment and depression, but that hasn't done the trick...

And this part here...the discipline of not getting sucked is what I have found to be the toughest...especially inside of day 6/7. Ya see good runs (though the euro this time was never good, lol) You try to look away...and then the carrot is dangled. You tell yourself you're not gonna pay attention, not gonna pay attention...but then your mind so easily goes to it. I need a distraction, lol

Ya got any more salt for this week's wound?

Since we can't rely on pattern...let's talk thermals: How's it looking after next week's warm-up? (serious question). And signs of any actual cold?

I didn't get sucked in by that...and I'm not sure what that has to do with my post, lol

Are you laughing at our ridiculousness in here? Lol And I can't tell...do you still get disappointed with snow misses, or have you found a way to stay above it? (If you have, I'd love to know the secret...this stuff depresses the heck outta me sometimes)

Is it such a terrible spot to be in 4 days out, though? Still looks close to me...

This standoff is getting ridiculous...certainly by Monday somebody oughta be caving to somebody (when does the sw come onshore?). I hope we ain't gotta have another 48 hours of this...tell us something, lol

In other words...warning level!

Wasn't trying to fight. Just expressing disappointment is all

@psuhoffman Man I hope you're wrong (except about the part where this part of this is due to more transient factors, lol). But if you're right...gonna be more a bit more hurt around here. Imagining a future reality of less snow saddens me...that's gonna be tough to take...but what can ya do? I guess you just enjoy the heck out of the snow you get and don't complain, lol

Oh dear...we're skirting close to breaking the rules here...lol However if this is affecting our snow chances, it's gonna be a bit more difficult to avoid the discussion because of the way things have been (unless we keep mentioning it as generallyrics as possible, keeping it solely to observation related to snow)

I understand the desire for big snow...but ya gotta try not to get sucked in by one run that shows a monster result...I try not to let my mind go to "big" until there's consistent evidence that such an outcome is firmly on the table. Otherwise you risk not enjoying what measurable snow you do get (like if you're looking 12" and we get 6"...we can still enjoy that!) I think a more reasonable bar is WSW level...that's been my bar this year--since that's been so hard to get the last few years, lol But I will admit...part of me is hoping February delivers a bigger one somehow...
