Trip scheduled up the county for 2/1-2/5.

Sounds great!  Hopefully they do well this year. We have to have our money in soon for the rental of our cabin…so thoughts of winter are closing in.

I dont understand why some weather hobbyists and people who are employed in the meteorology field want it to be sunny and warm/hot/humid all of the time...how dull and boring is that?? Lol

Taking it up a notch, you get ppl like @CoastalWx who say MEH and whine if every storm is not a blockbuster.  Look at his post just from a few hours ago.

Whining basically b/c "I have seen it all and am jaded."   And now takes the figurative position, "I only want HOME RUNS, singles and doubles SUX!"

Yep 100%.  Give me the home runs. I’m done bunting, moving someone from 2nd to 3rd.

I recall not so long ago, you'd get a PT when there was a sharp gradient of snow/no snow on the S Shore, and snowfall was only 1".  And I said, "you really are getting excited about seeing that?"  And you fired back saying how fascinating it was seeing the sharp gradient.  Guess that weenie I once knew is long gone!

No, we get that.  I think we all feel that way to a point. Who doesn’t want big dog. Right .???  Big Dog anything weather related is exciting. 
 

But I have no issues with 2-4” either.  I appreciate the aspect of it falling and making everything look beautiful.

Yup…for sure.  But sometimes we have to appreciate the little ones too…even if the weenie only just flinches.

Compared the operational Euro and GFS from 2 and half days ago to this 12z run this morning, and the cold is ~12 dm less cold in the thickness as a steady correction over the span of those model runs since... 

Get used to that during this winter.
