SE trend is giving us the goods this time. Imagine February where a 2/19-20 tier storm is set to hit the Erie to Buffalo area but then it starts ticking further south and east with each successive run.
I mean if PSU gets a few inches in the first week of Dec then that usually means there'll be ample activity in that season. At the very least a dead ratter is off the table.
I mean are they wrong through (at least with December)? We've seen time and time again that when a SER establishes itself it takes ~3 weeks to undo the damage and have a winter weather chance again.
I've seen a couple of those and don't know why. We haven't really had any blowtorches recently and the last couple weeks had 2-3 mornings that were below freezing.
