    The Euro op is close to as bad as possible for holiday traffic. Basically wipes Saturday off the map for the entire northeast from DC north, hitting all the airports and roads. Maybe a bunch of people who would normally have traveled on Saturday don't, so the plows can still get out (because once a traffic jam occurs and people stall out, everyone is stuck) but that means adding a lot of volume on Sunday when the roadways are already over capacity. Backups on the Pike and in Connecticut would be epic. 

    (This guy is glad to have train tickets back from Philly on Friday …)

    I just saw it... however just like every other model, it's a totally different solution than the one prior, and likely the next. It does show that something could happen in the time frame, but who knows what at this point

    Also had some good November and December snows after that time too.  
    November of ‘12, didn’t December of ‘13 have some frigid snows?, November of ‘18, December of ‘19(a real biggy for Ray), December of ‘20(a biggy here)..so we’ve had them. 

    Dec '13 into '14. That was the one time I remember such consistent cold and snow at the same time. We had a ton of outdoor work that winter, love hate on that one!

    I will say, When I was a teenager during the 80’s…it seemed it didn’t want to snow here until January most years.  But eventually that changed too when we got into the early and mid 90’s. 

    This. Some years there was quite a bit before January 1st, and others maybe a few flurries. In my head I just never expect any real winter to get rolling before Christmas. As DIT says it does happen, but it's the exception for sure down here. I don't ever remember having snow on Thanksgiving, and having it last for any large stretch of time.

    It would have been  93-94. That winter was record breaking ln CT. And then So was 95-96.  But they both melted out completely at a point. And that’s just it…it’s super rare to not have that happen at some point in SNE. 

    I don't think we totally melted out in 95-96 (in Granby) but very close. Regardless, it came back strong. Man would I take some combo of that again!

    I've been wating with baited breath for a 1917 redux ever since the Titanic sank.

    And I've been waiting for 1888 since Grover Cleveland was resident... who gets theirs first? :lol:

    I will never understand why some folks try to hold out turning on the heat, Its not like you win a prize or a trip to a tropical climate............:huh:

    I can't stand a hot home. And overheating the interior is a great way to help dry you out, leading to a better chance of illness

    I have mine in a walkout unheated basement so it's the only heat there. I guess some heat will rise to the main floor but it's mainly to keep the basement where my office is located.

    It will be great for an area like that. I'm in the middle of a major basement remodel where I ripped out a '50s rec room so I can insulate everything properly, and then ultimately put back the rec room to look just like it did back then. I have been considering a small pellet stove for the area since it works so well upstairs
