They call it a Clipper… clipper, faster than lightning, Few storms you see, are faster than he, And we know the Clipper’s just a vort in the dry air, Flying by here, on it’s way to the sea Snow lovers hope each Clipper they see, Will stall and grab moisture, when it reaches the sea But that trick’s a rare one, and much more likely No one will see, more than a coating to three.

This is true the last decade or so. Opposite of my childhood when Oct or Nov snows were rare but Christmas was more reliable - which I prefer.

FYP^2...

this sent me looking for the 'ruh roh' emoji... ah, found it

When I start feeling like this I take one spiked eggnog and a brooklynwx99 animation or two, and my mood improves dramatically...

57.4` / 57.1` peak gust 22.8 and 0.48" so far. Snow 'pack' cryin for mama

Yup glad to be missing the rain so far, just 0.01" and 33.1°

Not expecting any of this snow to be here by Thurs - high dews with high winds are prolific pack erasers. Hopefully can get something to pop around the 20-21st to refresh and then hold it thru Christmas week.

27° eyeballing 3.5-4". Surprised by the drop in temp & wind/drifting

A surprising number of folks want 15ft or larger trees, we get more requests than we can fill. This was one of 4 we've sold in the past week that was 16 or more feet tall. It takes a lot of determination to lift it onto the trailer, get it stood up in a stand, secured, and decorated but there's still folks looking for these big trees.

Yeah talk to those of us who lived thru the 80s LOL

30.5F and intermittent -SN, 2" otg, good snowball consistency

I knew I'd heard some of these posters somewhere before...

I'll trade a suboptimal look in the middle of December for a reprieve from the Grinch. If we get a wintry appeal anytime after Dec 22nd or so, I couldn't care less what it does beforehand.

Exactly why I'm hoping to stay on the RN side of this one - opening day tomorrow for Christmas trees here at the farm and after the last two years I'm done with branch-breaking paste jobs for a while. Bring back the fluffier stuff hopefully for December and it's all good. 33.8° -RN
