It’s an annual tradition at this point…like the Grinch arriving around Dec 25…

I scream, you scream, we scream together?

You broke his heart lol

Dusting

Still have a decent layer of snow in the front yard and shaded part of the driveway down here in torch land. I guess I’ll take what I can get.

Do you hear what I hear?

Those were the days

I guess it’s better than them vaporizing in Alberta

I say it all the time—if we had a true normal temperature DJF, people would think it’s frigid.

30° here at noon.

Surface is torched down here verbatim, but it’s a somewhat chilly look just aloft. I’m thinking a stronger vort offshore would help?

I think there are only a couple of folks that are truly aiming to be villains. For the rest, I assume they’re having mini-melts or trying to be funny. Everyone has to realize that it takes a certain level of emotional investment just to be on a wx board. Nobody is spending time here to wistfully discuss 70s and sunshine. Winter is the pinnacle of the wx year for many, so when it’s bad it’s bad and when it happens year after year it compounds the pain. We can’t rant about troughs getting buried in Baja again to our spouses, most wouldn’t get it like the nuts here lol. I think I may have one person on the entire board blocked or whatever for crazy talk—but it also helps to stay away from anything that’s non wx. I don’t care about anyone’s take on politics or social issues here. I have enough of that everywhere else. As for Sunday, maybe a coating to inch? I still like the trend but it’s incremental. If we could get some CAD early next week that could be good for some wintry precip too. I think the next few weeks we just have to hope for well timed events. Not being a blowtorch through Canada helps narrow the odds but it’s obviously an uphill climb.

20-21 was the only good year imby relative to climo. If it’s going to be a bad stretch, have fun with it. The worst is trying to wade through delusional optimism and relentless negativity. Neither are necessary. Call it like you see it, enjoy the fellowship around here among other wx weenies, and be happy whenever something does break our way. Idk why people make that so hard.

The cold behind that front absolutely underperformed. Only dropped to 27. We’ll see how high I can go today.

I may live in a snow pit but I did a good job of finding a house facing a favorable location. You can tell where the winter sun travels. Front yard barely lost any snow. Backyard has a strip of brown.

Heh, 12/5 did strike again lol

I know some would say please miss if we’re talking 2” of ice and 60 mph winds, but if it were 2’ of paste and 60mph winds I think many would say bring it on, even if it did identical damage.

The one that Tip shared the other day from the Midwest now that was the real deal.

Squall on the doorstep of @Sey-Mour Snow

500 trends have been solid on the Euro and GFS. Need more though.

1.7 final, pending snow squalls later.

Let us destabilize for thundersnow

What’s worthwhile? A warning level event?

Elevation definitely helped. Even a few miles to my north got 2-2.5x the accumulation with a little elevation.
