Feel free to bump troll me when I am bitching in January, but hoping this super nino at least keeps us in a wet pattern. Will deal with warm shots and rain over CAD.

I have resigned myself to this winter being an interesting vibration for sure. I don't care if it's 70 for Christmas... just please don't let us transition to that straight out of the only wintry period that really delivers of the entire season. No issues if it stays 65 the entire winter, just not the bait and switch. Watch, this year we're gonna get 30" on the 22nd and it'll vanish in two days...

Betting new climo will be ice storms. Lots of ice storms farther north than typical.

ice storm climo in n america def has some weird favored corridors, i could see one shifting and being potentially problematic

that said, i the lake definitely offers a good deal of protection given the typical low level winds in ice set ups usually have an easterly component, with the exception being extreme deep cold antecedent airmasses but i'm selling those this winter for sure

Shhh then everyone will know the secret that lakeside = best climo even with early summer pneumonia fronts
