Looks like the 12z EPS tries to tank the AO by Dec 27 - 30 timeframe. Roll it back another week for the usual model delay, and meat's back on the menu in the new year.
Seems like the majority of the members want to tank the AO by 12/20, with a small camp keeping things in positive territory. Hope we can get a consensus on a more favorable pattern shortly.
As @wxmeddler often says, measuring snow depth is tricky. New York mesonet has a great Read Me file on the trials and tribulations of this process: https://www.nysmesonet.org/documents/NYSM_Readme_Snow.pdf
