We’re supposed to connect through Miami Monday morning to fly to St Lucia. It’d be very 2020 if a tropical storm named Eta caused our flight to be cancelled.
So what you’re saying is we should expect a different winter this year than last. And to extrapolate that further, you’re calling for a historic one of a kind winter. Yes!
This is our 2nd season planting those on our back patio at home. We’re so happy with how well they do, especially with areas that get full sun in the afternoon. They’re still going strong.
Mountains should have their first real accumulating snow of the season Sunday night/Monday with upslope cranking. Pitt is mentioning the potential for needing advisories depending on guidance.
Last year had a cold November (-AO if i remember correctly) followed by...well we know what followed that.
Not saying we should expect it to be 100% opposite of last year — but what happens in November doesn’t set the stage for the rest of the winter is my point.
While it was mostly snow TV for me in Arlington, with some ‘accumulation’ on mulch/etc, definitely a memorable storm given Sandy previously + the snow totals for the NW suburbs, exurbs, and mountains.
That was the first year I started tracking storms on models and I remember thinking “geesh, what’s so hard about this...we keep getting perfect storm setups”.
Ahhh - then reality set up in subsequent winters...
