Greenfield didn’t see a flake from that storm.

The days where SE areas continually killed it…No wonder they are really struggling of late. I mean you can’t keep a heater like that going forever.  What a crazy run out that way.   But maybe their fortune changes come tomorrow night/Saturday -they look to be in the best spot for this one.  Let’s get em all on the board.

Admittedly the worm has turned . The Wolf didn’t know but he thought things might change. He wasn’t sure and he was right 

In all seriousness…I went on the record and said that I thought a wintry system was possible before the month ended.  SE areas will most likely make out with this one, and that’s a good thing, since they’ve been largely left out.

I still don't see a bonafide winter "storm"....I'll take the under on 2" IMBY between now and Xmas AM.

Certainly Agreed about a bonafide storm..just had said I think we would see accumulating snow before the year ends/end of December.  My area did Monday with close to 3”.  I know not all areas did(so not trying to say or impart that).  
 

And I feel that SE areas will see some accumulation Saturday.  What comes after that in the last 10 days is yet to be seen. But safe to say most didn’t have to wait til ‘25 for accumulating snow after the system on 12/5.

Maybe he was looking at 00z. 

Haha yeah I was looking at 00z although it was the Euro that looked more interesting from a precip chance perspective. I was noting mostly that the GFS was also not all that warm temperature wise between Christmas and New Years. It looks like as bad as the 06z is it also doesn't have a huge warmup.

No, no....just to clear this up, I never would have suggested you were doing so here. Nothing wrong with reflecting on your own obs. The difference is there are certain points in the past when it seemed as though folks feel the need to counter an expressed sentiment. Ie...people just like to vent frustration when they haven't gotten jack shit, and it can piss people off when someone who did relatively well feels inclined to reply directly to said statement with "well, we did fine here". Its invalidating. When folks are pissed, they just want to feel heard because it aides in the processing of the negative emotions. It would be received much better if you simply report your own good fortune in an entirely seperate thought/response. I know this seems like psychobabble, but it really is at the heart of what triggers a great deal of bickering when some get porked.

Ya 92-93 got going nice..that was a good one too. 

That winter was lame in its first half - only 15" thru Jan 31 and a mere trace of "pack" at the Farmington co-op.  43 days later the pack was 56" (tied with 1971 for 2nd, behind 1969) as that period had 95", including storms of 18, 17, 15, 14, 13, plus several smaller ones.

I kind of was countering the razzing from other posters, and was going with the flow of the board so to speak…as has been said.  
 

But I can completely understand your idea... And don’t think it’s psycho-babble.  And will make a point to try and correct that.

well ... irvin berlin wrote, '...dreamin' of a white christmas ...'

his song was never written     '...entitled to a white white christmas...'      perhaps because even the ancients knew, and sung in despondency what they must rely upon for that sanctity.  like, the song was always interpreted kinda wrong?   it's sung as though it's like december 10 and the visions, looking onward in glowing smiles, for some nostalgia that he cannot wait to get back to...   wrong!   it should have been december 25th ...about 10 a.m.... and it's 34 fuckum f with cloudy turbid skies over metalic, drizzle filled gray air through the window, air that's fractured by black tree limbs. all over dead leaves.  and there's this day-dreamer holding a cup of joe, drawn over with an exasperated desperate expression; he's peering out the window from in this imprisonment of kids promising to make the day a restless din of noise and stress ... now that they are puzzled with what they're supposed to do with these things called 'sleds' they just opened as christmas gifts.  

in that moment, he's definitely dreamin' of a white christmas
