I've always been skeptical because 40" December snowfall is unprecedented here....we probably won't get the bomb, warm up for xmas and limp into January....even so, I will be pretty near Dec 1995 for snowfall, so..
Irony is that I am not advocating for a jackpot here....anyone with a clue knows that the JP will be with the mid level banding, which is actually over me in his southern solution.
