You are a good man PF. Young people need more mentors like you. Instead of complaining about the next generation pick them up and show them the ropes or in your case where to duck under the ropes. Good job man
Don't understand why people are calling it anafrontal. Sure a front passes but it's actually a wave developing on the southern extent which is pretty typically how LP develops. Many claim their hate for small events here but in normal winters they make up to 2/3rds of the accumulation days. The 12 inch events in fact are rare. Young people here are pretty used to the big event and disappointed when it doesn't occur but fact is most don't work out.
Sign me up for these 2 to 4 every couple of days events with sub zero Deep Arctic cold. Absolutely love these deep winter days with drifting fluff from yesterday.
