I don't want to be a debut downer, but the 8th is nearly dead for me. It'll be highs in the 20s while the Carolinas get snow (or supression causes even the Carolinas to miss.
We need to hit big on Jan 6. I think Jan 8 has hope, though--we system on the 6th dictates what happens to the 8th but I'm leaning towards a lost cause.
Jan 6 has trended MUCH better.
If we could get a boom scenario of 6-10" and then get a MECS/HECS on the 8-12th then I'd be satisifed for about a few years.
I think that, if you want a big storm on the 8-10th, you'd have to be okay with an ice storm on the 6th. That's the bottom line. If we get snow on the 6th then the cold becomes too suprresive for the second wave.
