That is a crazy sequence of events in the final week to Christmas.

Is it better to have loved and lost, than not have at all?

This was 2015 Stowe/Mansfield on Christmas Day.  Only Xmas Day since 1954 with no snow on the ground at the Co-Op stake.  This November reached a higher snow depth than was seen at any point during that 2015-16 winter.

180 hours out.  Unlikely as modeled but the chances will be there as the seasonal baroclinic zone sags south in the means.

I will not believe it is going to snow until after it snows. Is it 7 or 8 yrs below average in a row now?

Your chances are better than many. Maybe it will be remembered as the Scooter storm.

In southern CT, that much snow is referred to as "a season."

After today not much sign of any warmth. Skating by mid December?

Well... it is chock full of stuff to watch, at least this run LOL. My gut says next Wednesday WILL happen, simply because I'm covering my buds snowplow route and I REALLY don't want to!

Yeah could be old school pond skating by 12/15 if some of these runs are correct.

EPS looks pretty decent for a week out. I like seeing those gulf lows a bit offshore at this point. We know how those can trend.

This early rain is more of an option. But if it flipped and coated that’s a win.

Watch it be a SOP deal......I'd hang myself with a mistletoe before we even hit mid December.

[WinterWolf]

I thought the Wednesday deal was a SWFE if it happens? Thought that was what this pattern was likely to produce, if it did produce?

We can always add to the totals as we get closer.

But then again, Kevin and Tiger torch said yesterday, that it’s a shame to see it all just slipping away.  So I guess there’s that…right? Fast flow..cold all bottled up in Canada. Pacific sucks..that’s the word from DIT and TT.

Nah..it’s slipping away..all of it. You hate to see it.,

That pack will last and stay OTG with all that cold behind it
