Man.. I couldn't agree more with you. The problem is some of the people who post are way over zealous and it leads to unrealistic dreams.
I too knew that the chances of something Wintry was a big stretch. What people fail to realize is it is still early ( to early ) in the game for the majority of SNE to get a big Snowstorm. My mindset typically becomes more engaged and getting bigger snows when we head into second to third week of December and on.
The other issue is the models and the discrepancies between the American model and the European model. There are always changes, but sometimes you get agreement that sticks within a week or so of an event. Again, there are people who just live by a model run. Anyway, I agree with you are post and hope others will read it and pull back a little. But that's a stretch lol
