Don't really care what temps do coming up. Let's start shuffling the pattern and get it active. I'm a bit resigned to a mixed bag of temps and precip most if not all winter.

So pretty much what SNE gets every winter….  Sounds good.

Yes. I was also comparing it to last winter, which was one of the better ones around here in years. We'll regress this winter but it's fine if we can make it interesting once in a while (and the ski areas do relatively well).

Nothing wrong with that…I’ll take some warmth and some cool, and some rain…sign me up. 

A lot wrong with that. We have no need for rain. Let's keep the crystal blue persuasion.

As long as we can keep pulling 60s-70 let’s keep the sun. But by late Novie and Dec we need to fix this up here.

PIT2 sitting in the D3 shading.  It's a lot better now than it was in August, that's for damn sure.

Jeff is near the moderate/severe border but I'm in moderate.  However, the Sandy River is extremely low, meaning in the zero-to-5th percentile range.  Carrabassett is in the same category.
