Yeah as much as some of us carp, I’m thankful for my incredible privilege in so many ways. But here we talk snow so why not complain…lol?

Look out your window. What is different for you vs many of us?

We’re getting so badly skunked lately. It was so obvious to me driving from Chicago home Wednesday and Thursday. Snow otg with good coverage for 95+% of the trip. Hit bare ground inside 495.

Yeah Chicago is having a really nice start but their winters of late have been abysmal. I’m starting to weigh the AI versions higher than the regular versions. The fact that AI more or less is a continuous upgrade by machine learning. I think we’ve already seen much better performance vs the early days of the AI models.

It was a nice snow burst whitening the ground earlier but now a memory.

I guess we should be patient. This is kind of similar to how December played out in 2010 before Boxing Day delivered for many of us.

Skynet agrees and both include most of Massachusetts as well. Sky is more areal coverage. I think an inch on Saturday is returning.

I think I speak for most when I say it’s depressing to have favorable snow guidance with the next run pulling the rug. I mean it’s cold so we can’t say December isn’t acting wintry but bare ground doesn’t feel like winter.

Riding through some heavy squall snow about 20 miles east of Syracuse. West of Rochester to Syracuse was dicey.

My preferred date is 12/13 so I’d be happy with a switch

6 muthufukkas!

Hard not to have that feeling actually especially with the way autumn played out.

Getting back to earlier in the thread-in the years I’ve been posting, I’ve never put anyone on ignore. Reading posts I don’t like is part of the fun.

Ensembles (both GEFS and EPS) have a pretty nice pattern by the end of their runs with at most a short period of AOA normal. Time will tell.

Temperatures from late week going forward are solidly below normal. BOS normal is still low to mid 40s. Here in Chicago, it’s been way below normal-Canada is frigid and it’s close to us. Carping about temperatures 5 days out seems silly. If you get a clipper redeveloping under is we’ll do ok. Besides, I’m a snow magnet and I’m heading home starting tomorrow.
