Nice for the soul anyways. Well take it.

Moderate. Not bad.

Actually, snowing nicely here with decent flakes. Feels like a rare win for once

Flurries here

Already see some guy peeing on it.

Yeah just weird holes. It’s true the month has had a different vibe, but certainly some frustrating areas.

I won’t miss much if not. Will be above 32 in many areas this aftn I think. I’m still amazed at the gradient around here.

I think he also saw a few IPAs in his fridge too.

I’ll be the first to point out when it sucks, but I haven’t seen any big concerns yet.

I’m dreaming of an Alberta clipper. Just like the ones passing south that I used to know.

Certainly don’t see issues with overnight runs. EPS bumped up heights out west vs 24 hours ago.

Yep

Yep

I’m right at the bottom part of the letter “y”. My son has been pissed.

Hallelujah…Holt Shit!! Where’s the Tylenol.

Coke, heroin, and denim cutoff shorts.

I wouldn’t expect winter to return on Jan 1. Didn’t we all mention that?

I mean it’s an EPO so there’s always a risk, but I certainly don’t see the 12z EPS as a red flag.

Tip will be shaking violently seeing the GEFS look is his much beloved high velocity flow.

That's why I think early part is shaky. Although at least there is a little convergence to our north and not a massive Se ridge. Maybe some overrunning.

Twas not a good night tending thy cranberry bogs.

Even in that period, I'm inclined to toss those TAN temps.

The title of this thread bothers me. I keep seeing this court Jester with a green weird had juggling balls everytime I post in here.

So a simple way to think about it would be comparing various events that had light winds vs higher winds. Easier for me here on the coast as most storms have strong winds here. But recall those events that had light winds and good snow growth. You probably remember how it looked after the snow ended with the crystalline structure visible and a fluffy pack that felt like walking on a cloud as you stepped into it. Now think of some of the events that had wind. Sure the snow was dry, but when you step into the pack, it's noticeably denser. It's not the density of heavy wet snow, but it has a little girth to it. We have that here all the time. The wind can pack down the snow by pummeling the crystalline structures. It's rare to have a fluff bomb on light winds, but it does happen.
