I remember it vividly....I was in High School and we didn't even get an early dismissal because the forecast was relatively benign.....what a shit-show scampering out into the parking lot in over a foot of paste. I was doing "wheelies" with my old rear-wheel '86 Cutlass Supreme in the corner of the lot lol
Can't help but wonder how this abundance of baroclinicity due to the jet fuel SSTs around the hemisphere is going to play out this cold season. Should be fun if we can introduce some arctic airmasses into the fray. Maybe celebrate the 30th anniversary in style.
I believe there is some sort of negative correlation between October and the winter, while there is a positive correlation between November and winter. But the October snow argument is a myth.
