I think I started posting about a no frost/ freeze thru Tgiving here back in early September 

Wild, I’ve had probably 10 mornings in the 20’s.

The real concern is, Hopefully the stuff replacing them are better.

I don’t like hyperbole early on, but I think I would be fairly shocked if the mountains get near normal snowfall this winter on composite super Nino years.

Thats not to say it won’t snow, heck 235” on Mansfield is below normal.  But it feels like the deck is stacked a bit, especially if it’s a slow start.

It takes making up some good ground to catch up for struggles in even Nov/Dec when you need to hit bigger monthly normal totals in Jan/Feb/Mar.

Now, for NNE as a whole?  The lower climo snowfall areas near population centers can rely more on several good synoptic events to get closer to normal.  I think my fear up here is the daily light events struggle if it’s warm, and the 2-6” type stuff that adds up over time creates a good-sized deficit.

Don't disagree here ...  

But I'd just add,  there only needs to be a spark to detonate an entire field of natural gas. Believe me, this year in particular, perhaps above all others, there is an ocean of gas. 

...it's proven to be a part of the bounty that CC provides, anyway.. but now this on top.  

Forget snow or rain ... anything that happens could end up synergistically out of control production.

Granted, we have to be cold enough...  There is a non-zero possibility that it is never cold enough, at least down here. I would never bank on that in alpine settings though...  If it is, we may as well send up palm frowns to Caribou ME.

Short version, the same clipper in 1987, could product 33" of snow by accident whether it's 70 F a week later or not.
