I mean it doesn't get any more winter than this. 

I wish more could experience this without the sh*tshow town is with vacationers for Thanksgiving weekend. 

But picture the suburbs completely descend on the mountains... it is only November 21st.  Almost all out-of-state license plates, it's dark out, all the restaurant parking lots are full, it is snowing sideways in the wind, and it is f'ing 14 degrees.  It couldn't feel anymore like deep winter in a ski town if it tried. 

Went to get a pizza.  Was like going to Bertucci's, ha.

I don't like to go there but this may be a November to remember.

It's been snowing all afternoon and evening, in some manner.  Cold temps, persistent light snows that come in pulses like a wave lapping over a rock, wind chills nearing 0F.

Radar doesn't look impressive but it's still a wind-blown snow globe.  The Winooski Valley gap is showing up well in the echoes on radar.

Yeah I don't get the climo argument other than to say "well yeah, we knew that already". It's climo for SNE to do well on snowstorms over D.C and NYC.  Doesn't mean we automatically forecast more snow here every storm. There are certain times when further south is favored. 

Today def wasn't one of them. We've had windex events that are easy to spot though in advance. I always go back to that 1/28/10 event but we discussed that one for like 48 hours leading into it.

If that shortwave was further south, then today would have been a higher end event in SNE. But it was pretty clear for a couple days the best parameters would be north in this one.
