My concern is precip. Freebie maps look dry during the colder weeks.
D@mn STJ is Mia thanks to Niña. Also, we need the trough axis to be more conducive for passing short waves under us versus what we've had and then redevelop with Atlantic moisture, or it's dry when cold.
Hate to sound picky, but it has been 4 years since a 6"+ snow storm.
