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.
