Thanks for this Ray--always great to see you presenting this, not just because of the thinking that goes into it but also for getting us excited that yes--winter is coming.
From that crystal ball, I should be making some plans to be up at Pit2.
My daughter's dorm in Marion (along with 5 other campus buildings) were still without power as of 5:00pm last night.. Fortunately they have generators.
Don't get me wrong.....there's value in knowing the mean, but to view that as the sole arbiter of 'normal' would be problematic. If you did, very few days would be "normal". The vast majority would be either above or below.
