SSWs would be more exciting if we knew displaced polar air was headed our way, but we don't, at least not yet. The cold and snow might just as easily wind up elsewhere.
This is the most potential we've seen for a snowy winter in many years. That's enough to keep me interested.
How much snow would it take at the airports this winter to bring the 2011-2026 annual average back up to "normnal"? Lots.
