Really thought we’d see more of the bigger totals eventually move this way. And I am still nervous about those minimas showing up on all the models.

But, snow is snow. Let’s see where it ends up

Want a band swath instead of banding to come in, if it comes in. we get the right flow as it moves (for mby yard is it SSW -> NNE then pivots to EEN - > SWW. 

Boom

Hopefully we can pull something off like January 2003 out of this one. That night was legendary. A solid foot of snow in like less than 12 hours. This has the makings of that potential again. Hopefully we get hammered.

I was at APP when then happened and did not get to experience on the home land. Boone got the shaft with that one If I recall. 

But yes, as of now anything is possible. Im issuing a 12 hr excitement ban for myself. Hopes do not increase til 12 hours before onset. Just enjoy the digital flakes for now

I heard that. Good luck up your way buddy. Hopes are high right now. Let's keep the good vibes going.

4” of snow this weekend and I’d give the winter an A. 6” and it’s an A+ and best in at least a decade.

Yes. I just was thinking the same thing.

Don’t want to be debbie downer but most of you do realize there is always a screw zone on the NW flank of these coastal systems, right?

I don't think anyone knows where that will be at this time. My guess would be west of 77
