You are far from alone. Specially in this forum. lol. We r Sno hounds to our very core. I’m very happy with the start of winter here and warmups are part of the game. No biggie. I’m in the Sno covered crunchy ass woods of southern Lebanon county right now and can tell you it looks and feels like mid winter here. Deers winnin with the noise I’m making while scaling the ridges.

Oh gotcha. Yeah I know we are close, and I love when you post pics. Helps me to see what I’ve got OTG. Thanks for sharing.

Take whatever we can get right? Happy to see snow in the forecast.

I can assure you that we ALL won’t enjoy the warmer weather. You just had 9 months of it. It’s our turn. Gonna b what it’s gonna b. I won’t bitch and complain no matter the outcome.

Yeah I was speaking about trainers pal.

Yes, it does. He'd be east of coudersport, which is where that Sweden hill snow cam is located. If my assumption is correct, its called Potato City and that area has lots of cabins. Back in the day it was a snowmobile mecca of sorts. Im about 10-12 miles further east on 6 right between the village of gaines and Ansonia. My place is 4 miles north of rt 6 up on top (for best LES accums of course .

I also had to plow my driveway and that always brings a smile to my face.

Was 6" when I left last Wednesday 12/3, and from what i'm hearing, we are aoa 9-10" otg. I'm 3 miles east of potter/tioga border and abt 15 miles S of NY border. Technically way west central Tioga.

obligatory cam post just for you pal... http://www.swedenhillsnocam.com/ Coudersport getting raked right now. Northerwoods are and have been a winter wonderland since before Turkey day.

If cherrypickin season is now starting....RGEM is an LSV special, and one to add to the nice list.

Nooner NAM nest has LES streamer parked over my place in Gaines. As sled trails open at close of rifle season (dark) saturday night, it'd be fun a shit to take them up for a rip and blow much dust off them. Hoping norther woods can survive whatever the warmup is (although Ens guidance sorta says not likely). Tellies show mixed signals IMO but neg PNA is not typically a good precurser to winter in the east. Coupled w/ WAR....yuk. Still enough time for that to change for better or worse.

Good ol Sunday Funday NAMing would suit us just fine.

I wish i was going back up this weekend. Ughh...

Been mixing in Lititz and Ephrata for last 2 hrs. Last temp check was 35. Some pingers mixed with a lush bombs and a few bonified flakes as well.

as long as its "cold enough" most of us older timers approve.

I saw 10 in suburbia lititz on way into work.

Yeah nooners were not too bad to look at from a 10k foot view. Another week that will feel and maybe look like winter around here. Ponds are getting an early start to ice. Would be cool to see kids skating or playin ice hockey like we did many moons ago.

as we used to do Elizabeth farms for trees, it got a bit out of hand. Another suggestion for those of you that enjoy the whole tree hunting experience. Texter Mtn Pines. they do the wagon rides and you can pull a tree sled on wheels, or just drag it...whatever suits your style. Just did it saturday w/ wife, son, DIL, my grandson and grandpup. Very fun experience and tons of beautiful trees.

what a difference a couple inches makes....

Thanks pal. Agreed. First week of Dec 3-6" is a great win. No matter what one run "showed". Same to you and yours.

After looking over the 12GFS again, that saying "the hits keep on coming" comes to mind. Several chances beyond next week. Looks like we get out of the winter gate runnin in the right direction for sure. Who wins....dunno, but likely will have an active pattern/board. Another glance at tellies while not overly supportive of troughing in the east, they are headed twds neutral, and MJO also headed into favorable 7 which is a colder signal. How it all rolls....gonna find out in a few days. Once again, Happy Turk Day to my fellow weather homies. Much to be thankful for.

Yeah, all we can do is look at large scale features and sort them out before we start the backyard stuff. Safe to say many/all backyards will be white and thats a big win this early. Verbatim entire sub is gettin some snow. As Mag suggested, its a progressive pattern, so while 6z snowmaps were a virtual pants tent....one should use much caution when observing. IMO 12z a much more believable/achievable scenario. Im headed to cabin Friday, so I'll be looking from afar. Hope you guys can reel this one in for us.

Nice trends continue on nooner GFS. Still plenty of sorting out, but the look is not hard to stare at for this early in the season.

was looking at 0z and 6z and yeah...like wowzers. If 1/4 of what is advertised materialized, we'd be gettin outta the winter gates w/ some zip.

Last year i did one on my OK Joes stick/offset smoker along side of my Green Mtn pellet smoker. Fun to play/learn w/ both. Pellet is MUCH easier, but offset/stick is MUCH smokier. If you have a pellet smoker, get a heat blanket for it....its a game changer in cold months. Truth told, i now keep it on all year. Pellet saver as well.
