Manitoba as your namesake storm happened.

It's brutal every day it happens but with that said, most of the world would rather dry sunny and mild wx for Christmas to make visitations easier. With that also said, and I'm not one who celebrates Christmas, I'm happy to have it white and it actually means something to me. Growing up my dad had a pharmacy. Home from college it was a snowy morning 12/25/65 or 66 and I was tasked to shovel the front of the store which needed to be open a half day to deliver medicines. This was obviously before the big chain pharmacies took hold to the extent they are today. Every one in my family was giddy.

GFS will not be a big cutter this run. In fact-too early to say-but it may be a great run. I'm told ICON got better. Let's see where EPS is in 3 hours.

I'd like to say that the interest is much greater and reactions matching that interest given the date but I think this situation in late January wouldn't elicit a muted response....lol

I’m surprised the pope isn’t here to deliver a stern message.

Me skiing in neck deep powder would likely be followed by my funeral. But I’d get a heavy duty truck and plow the ponderosa.

Quebec is nice-presuming you are fluent in French? Urban amenities with tons of snow!

My wife found a 24 acre place we can buy in northern VT. Tempting….

My love message failed to resonate….

Put it on the back burner and see what the next 2 days in model trends are. No need to go crazy/kids will be initially disappointed but ultimately be happy from the love they received from parents and family.

I apologize but I dropped $1500 on a new snowblower this week. Was hoping to have it by now but will have it delivered Tuesday. Just on time to sit in the garage. I knew I was killing winter when I bought it but I’m tired of fighting my crappy one.

No it’s 2 days from now for 24 hours. Daughter taunting me with pics from today.

Yeah and we’re coming back Monday so short term visual delight.

Well at least we get to drive to northern VT Sunday. Plenty of snow to be seen…

Lol…if they’re not too far east.

Well it is trending to a Midwest blizzard and east coast grinch. Plenty of time to change but right now gfs is the extreme outlier.

Uncle is 1000 miles west of gfs.

Euro will cut. That’s my early model call for 12z today.

EPS looks better than the op. Still spread though so we'll see. The mean suggests somewhat of a hugger with 925 mean temps problematic east of 95. But way better vs op. A lot of time left for this strong signal but across all ensembles there's excellent consensus that we're getting a sizable event.

Euro/CMC/uncle op runs run this baby west of most of New England. It's far out still but GFS op is kind of on its own with the system in the 0z/16 suite. CMC ensembles (GEPS) kind of match the op. Not sure i'll stay up for all of the EPS but maybe....

I bet if you can ascertain records a foot on that date is probably near the top.

Radar is consolidating the coastal.

Probably not possible rolling back frustrations over the past 76 years.

Yeah that was the one when he characterized one of the top TV Mets around as a wishcaster.

Meanwhile we’re having periods of OE rain.
