Not sure how many cave people did Christmas.  lol

They also had a climate where their September was like December is in the Holocene. 
 

Back to school in snow gear?

53 or 60, still a disaster. 

One can enjoy the deep winter with weather chart drama ... One can embrace the surreal warmth that obliterates winter.   There may be no sense for loss in either experience.    

Either can be fulfilling.  I realize we all have our druthers.  Most would agree.  Yet, it's interesting how those agreeing folk seem to take actual offense at other's.  Like it's the stranger's responsibility to be sensitive to one's posting mood, or the flavor of the moment.   

It's a weird pastime.   All these social media are.   Fucked Book to Instacrap, OK Stupid to who knows what dating app ... and this, too.  There's some sort of an emptiness issue that permeates the souls of modernity.  And all this "state of provision" that we take for granted.   You know .. it's almost like the law of lessening returns also hits when we look around, and should see how it creates so many choices, yet they are lost in a blizzard of opportunity.  Irony how overabundance seems to empty out minds.  People would rather then "faux-fill" their gift of brief time for their lives involved in this intractable preoccupation.  It's lost because there is no value in gains unearned.  If you work for joy, you find it there.   Modern experience removes too much of the work.  No joy.   But the mind still seeks it... so we create the illusion of it in the back and forth of this electronic game.. 

It all comes down to managing dopa.  People can't get it from their lives, why?  who knows ... something like boredom from above.  But it's easier to seek immediate satisfaction of a dramatic weather-chart cinema. Failing that, they seek it in the group modes of the moment, which are often spontaneously occurring bi-polar flashes of perspectives - how things are so bad, then not so bad this and that.  Meanwhile, the more objective viewer sees 0 difference before and after.   And then, if some hapless sort wonders into the moment with their particular druthers, and it's not in sync with that mode, they were then irresponsible for other people's delicate sensibilities while were enjoying their dopa ....  than they're buzz killed like a swarm murder hornets. 

This is kind of a toxic relationship.  Not the people mind you.. But this pursuit, thinking to fulfill something that cannot ultimately be fulfilled this way, yet keep repeating the same performance

Lol…their lifespan was 30 something.

I read some fascinating papers and articles on the lives of human species (both Neanderthal and Homosapiens who arrived later in the period) in Europe during the 20k-80k years ago period…basically most of that was during pretty strong ice ages. They were able to figure out from bones and other artifacts that someone who survived until age 35 back then had a body more akin to someone in their 70s today. Lots of arthritis and other health issues and fast aging. Pretty amazing when you think about it. What a tough environment to live in back then. Even in much more recent times going merely back to late 19th or very early 20th century, nearly half of babies didn’t reach the age of 18. Unheard of now.

Not if the anti-science, vaccine deniers have their way...

Christ euro is a disaster. 

Took away our high pressure to the north for Xmas. But whatever…we’ll check back in once we’re inside a week. 12/23 wasn’t too far off from something decent either. 
 

Seems like the ridge axis was further east than other runs. Subtle but important differences. 
 

OP vs EPS

You will have a snowpack left.

Quick hitting, Shorter duration system, 1" or less qpf, There will still be snow left, The pack out there can absorb this, But the bigger story is going to be the wind gust ahead of the FROPA.

LOL--KY with 2x more snow than PWM.

I like the 50mph winds showing up on my new P/C for Friday.  It might not snow there, but it will blow.

Oh yeah I dont think it will get wiped; but I also have seen it go either way. I’ve seen cutters end up with a net gain, I’ve seen them overperform and wipe a healthy pack out. This area is very prone to warming when there’s a wind from the SE, I’m sure it will be close to 59 for a while. How long that happens for and how much rain we get will determine what’s left when the rain stops. How much snow we get on the backside will determine the rest of the equation. Stake is currently at 12” after the compaction
