I have a similar total to MDT, but January has had 1 great week and 1 snow to rain event with varying results. I rate a winter by winter weeks vs months. So with 9 weeks of met winter (Dec & Jan), I see 8 or 9 days as great, making it a lousy winter in my book. I won't talk temps for fear of triggering certain posters. Lol
But I appreciate your positive attitude. I keep one as well until I reach a point when I think it's unreasonable to think positively. As I said, my gut says to toss it but medium range modeling says otherwise, so I'm not folding yet. But I am at the point of show me something concrete because I'm tired of idle threats. That means, assuming 2/5 doesn't work, we better be tracking at least 1 legit threat come 2/10 or I'll be calling bs on these great patterns.
