It's a noteworthy trend that many of these storms are acting much like the biggies in 77-78 which was a weak Nino. Strong storms at peak intensity stalling, looping, drifting, etc. No low solar to blame back then tho, which we have going on right now aiding high-lat blocking. It's uncanny and hopefully continues into winter.

Yes to all above. As you said, ground-zero for that storm was more or less in the middle between this year's two pre-season beasts. 2013 had the most extensive early snow cover build-up of the past couple decades. 2019 is in 2nd or 3rd place to date, but may be on a roll. Could we catch, or even surpass 2013 over the next month? "Don't touch that dial.."

A CF brought some rain..it's a start

A lot of (early) outlooks showin OHV "the luv". Let's see where we are going into November.

Perhaps, but here's a couple decent ones that should have you N. OH peeps at least mildly enthused..if you have a pulse. One must on as we approach a fresh winter ahead! https://www.weatherbell.com/preliminary-2019-2020-winter-forecast Heck, even runner-up analog seasons look pretty tasty compared to the last (3) seasons imby. I'm cautiously excited based on current SSTA's holding serve into the DJF time-frame, with a more or less La-Nada look staying the course. The "Blob" in the NPAC needs to remain stout - that'll be key imho.

Apparently all interest in riding was abandoned between Jan 6th, and this evening??

Yikes! So sorry for that mega-bust. Thought those were a thing of the past tbh. Tho LES is prolly the most challenging to nail. Hopefully, we'll get something to make up that loss later. Plus, we're all getting in on this decent clipper. - Cheers

GRR was also bullish on double digit totals for SWMI but it ended up a nice 4-8" event instead..you're not the only region that suffered that fate

Rip city in SWMI already hit 3" in first 3 hrs. Robust event - storm conditions thru Van Buren Cnty! Winter Wonderland ❄❄

You guys over there just wait. 2012 had to be balanced out and you're gonna get "balanced out" sooner than later as well..
