I still lean toward us producing nicely with this one. We probably continue ticking north before the usual last minute shuffle. It’s in a sweet spot for now.
Lol I don’t think it’s a defense mechanism to say we’ll take more hours of snow even if it’s lighter after literally two of the worst winters in recorded history.
Totally agree. Getting modest measurable this first week of January would be excellent, especially considering the pattern we see rolling forward on the EPS. We don’t need a one and done MECS. We need a window that’s legitimately open for multiple threats to produce over a longer period of time.
Retention matters little to me here in the valley. For me, total snowfall, frequency of events, impact of events, and novelty of events (for example the big cold in February) hold significant weight in a seasonal grade.
You can see how people way back in the day would lose lose their minds over seeing something like that obviously unexpectedly. The entire environment and landscape is transformed, from the temperature to movement of animals.
