I'm still very confident we will have above normal snowfall this winter despite the failures of December thus far. In order for that to happen, we will be going against history. If you look past at other unproductive Decembers, it does not usually bode well for the rest of the winter if you're looking for above normal snowfall amounts.

So then plan on it being like all other historical years, why think any differently? Thats just wishful thinking, you know that analogs are used VERY often and usually unless its a huge anomoly are correct to the overall degree of snowfall, so I am guessing average or below which means for me less than 18 inches cuz we already had 7. Honestly I am ready for spring if thats the case.

I love your optimism. With the upcoming Strat warming event and a dominate split jet branch, once we roll into January, February and March this forum will be rocking!

For once I’m with Jman here   Yes I know it’s still very early. I’m putting my trust in Frank’s optimism and LR forecast but I hold ZERO expectations. And maybe that’s a good thing

I don't even check in all that often cuz so far its just been letdown after letdown but it is very early and march seems to be our new winter monthmaybe it should b. Jfm from now on lol

Anyone seen the euro and gefs weeklies? Torch 5 to 10 plus degrees above normal!! Ain't getting snow with these kinda temps. Not looking good and some forums are write off any chance of snow till mid January. Thoughts?
