agreed. And by March, I'm fine tracking an event and having it gone days later as opposed to building a snow pack in the heart of winter. But let's face it almost reinforces how odd the start of this winter was to go through December nary a flake.
this is the part where the stat padders are going to put ORD normal/above
"BOTH ECMWF/GEFS ENSEMBLES INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS FAR NORTHERN IL/IN DURING THIS PERIOD."
the withdrawal as winter fades from model watching and daily board checking to track storms or see patterns that lead to storms is always tough. Sick hobby and addiction I've lived with for a long time.
I'll ride my 5 call. That number is in my zone call from LOT. As said, this will be on par with my event of the season minus the drama of the last 2 events. Another great write up by LOT today.
take what you can and run. Would like to be on the cold side of an early March monster. it's been awhile. But I suspect this ain't the year so I'll take this 2-4 incher. Only suspense is does LOT go with a headline for this event.
