Here’s my contribution for the day…
Roy is stretching and warming up the voice. Of course when Roy declares it is asterisked with the caveat that he is speaking for SNE only.
I’m out officially by Sunday. Enjoy what comes fellas. My only lament is Florida looks coolish at least for the first week I’m there. Good luck piling up some snow. I’ll turn the heat down on my way out the door and hopefully save a few bucks. The mid January to mid February bill is $675.
For me, snow total is 80% of the grade while retention is 10%, cold 10%. Since retention is dependent on cold it’s kind of 80/20. Overall grade to date is a D.
Wind howling for sure but honestly it’s not like this type of wind doesn’t happen probably 4-6 times a year.
My wife and I walked after the flash freeze late last night. We put on our Nano Spikes and it was like walking with no risk. They’re staying on the boots probably this entire week.
Outside of the epic late January through February 2015, 93-94 was my favorite winter. Cold and snow more or less belly to belly (ginxy expression). 95/96 had a bit more snow but the meltdown in January and again later in February takes it down somewhat. But in 95-96 we had snow otg for most of December-February as well as a nice system late in November. 1992-93 was my 2nd winter back from California and it was pretty good. I was in Dallas for superstorm in March but even afterwards snow kept coming.
Of course my favorite all time winter was 1960-61.
Cory, it was modeled. This is not an elevation event. In fact, elevation in some places was a deterrent. Check out the modeled snow from most sources yesterday. Your latitude hurt you, nothing else had much of an impact.

snowing hard here-been out walking for the past hour. I measured 1.5 on the way out an hour ago so it has to be 2+ now. Depending on how cc looks I’ll either wait until I get up tomorrow around 10 to shovel or consider doing a late night once over.
Well I’m out a week from tomorrow when we leave for Chicago a few days followed by florida until 3/18. So this thread represents my last threat most likely.
Your biggest fear is palpable in your posts…the possibility that EOR gets 8-14 while you get a sandy 3-6. Probably neither happens but your angst is showing.
Occlusion could suppress the warm sector and produce light intermittent snows. When you see a model snowing when it shouldn’t that often what it’s telling you.
