I think we all want snow, but some people like to cover their ears when discussion of the overall pattern is not favorable.
we certainly don’t know about individual threats, but generally, we have an idea about the overall pattern structure. And those clues give us an idea of how difficult it will be to achieve winter weather.
Reading some of the posts here and some long range “expert” articles, I’m pretty pessimistic on the rest of winter. I think it’s going to be very hostile on the whole, and if you aren’t a snow stake at 3k on stow mountain, I think there’s going to be a lot of outside looking in.
This isn’t to say we couldn’t get an event during this period, but you have to do some actual calculating as opposed to dismissing bad outcomes because they are in the extended.
