Remember when 1/2 of this forum cancelled winter back in October?

I wouldn't call the 12z GFS or Canadian OP a torch for Christmas. Haven't seen the Euro yet. We are also still 9 days out . . .

Getting rid of the mountains seems extreme. They are pretty. And CAD is nice. Better idea is just to make them retractable. Lower them into the ground when a storm is coming. Lift them back up after we get our 3 feet of beautiful powder. LFG team. We can figure out how to do this. It's just basic physics (and perhaps a little geology).

Kids are asleep but dad just took a jebwalk. Driveway is slowly caving to a fresh coating. Pleasant little surprise.

Beautiful big flakes coming down.

1.3 in Great Falls. I’ll take it for the first snow.

If you cut it to 4" your snow totals would increase dramatically.

34 this morning in Great Falls with moderate frost on the yard.

35 in Great Falls with light frost.

We all believe it from the beginning, we just tell ourselves we don't as a coping mechanism.

"Winter is over" bridge jumping on October 10 has to be a new forum record. Well done!

To be fair, it's been pleasant almost every day for three straight weeks

Was actually fairly pleasant (or not unpleasant) outside early this morning. 72 for the low. Already much less pleasant now . . . 81/76.

It was incredible. Also have never seen rain like that here.

Still pouring in Great Falls. Creek below our house has turned into the Colorado River.
