Yea last year you got my hopes up. Then mid January arrived and it was clear things were in trouble. I wish we could just get climo snowfall at this point.
Giving this until Jan 10th. If we don't have the pattern change ongoing or a workable threat under 120 hrs by then, it's probably another dead ratter winter inbound for us.
