Haha...yeah! I should know better.
I really don't mean to be pessimistic, most are targeting mid to late Jan before we see improvements. It just seems we've been here these last few winters -- chasing epic patterns in the LR that fail to materialize. Hopefully the "were due index" pays off this year.
Who knows how any of this will play out and what effect it will have on the sensible weather in our backyards. All I know is the last couple of winters, I was already looking for the towel in early Jan. Give me a month of winter from Jan 15 to Feb 15 and I'll be a happy weenie.
I couldn't live somewhere where there wasn't a change of seasons. Especially fall, it's my favorite and I'd miss the change of leaves and that first crisp air mass that says summer is over. Plus I'd hate to have to do yardwork 12 months a year. It's nice putting the mower away in Oct.
I hope to do what Snowwors2 is doing and move north to a more winter-friendly climate once I retire. But hey, we all have our own preferences so I hope you become a full-time snowbird someday!
They sure do cover all their bases -- "perhaps some sun, with snow possible". Well, they do say there's a 0% probability of thunderstorms...going out on quite a limb there.
I'll go with the usual KA Christmas forecast: partly sunny, 50's.
I just realized why I feel confident of a MECS on Wed...
I'm dropping the cat off to be neutered at 7am and taking my mom to the cardiologist at 11am. So yeah, one the the few days I have to get in the car since March.
If I recall correctly, there was a storm mid Dec 95 where we were forecasted to get 12”+. It turned into a huge sleet storm instead. Curious how similar this set up is.
My inner weenie is saying, "the models like to sniff out the big dogs early."
My Debbie Downer is saying, "11 more chances for Dr. No to change his opinion."
At least there's something to track. We haven't been able to say that for a few years.
Heavy dusting on all non-paved surfaces. Wasn't expecting much more than a snow shower, so this was a pleasant surprise.
If nothing else, we're on the board for 2020-21!
Yeah, precip seems to be hitting a wall as it moves east. It will probably warm up enough to be rain by the time it gets here. The HRRR still shows snow showers...but it's the HRRR.
