Was out to the store with my daughter. In the parking lot, she said “it’s snowing!!!”
Me: “no it’s not, it’s just raining”
Her: “yes it is snowing! Look!”
Me: *looks closely* “oh….”
it was more like sleet/graupel… but i’ll give her the obs win
2008-09 is indeed one of my analogs for this winter. Even with all the brouhaha over the upcoming pattern and the stalling “nina”, my thoughts about this winter haven’t changed.
Yes I remember that one. Veteran’s day storm.
Went sledding as a kid, and I remember thinking “if it snows this early, this is going to be a monster winter” (which didn’t necessarily transpire that way lol)
