The one thing I could see throwing a wrench in this system again like the last one is for severe thunderstorms to rob moisture on the cold side of the low. 

2018-2019 Snowfall Totals So Far : 59.5"

The last storm where dry air didn't kill it at some point was the 2012 bomb. Dry air is always a problem with any system that hits Eastern Nebraska. At least nowadays.

This storm might even be enough to shut down my ski hill for the new years! Awesome! Three years in a row for my hill to have a horrible Christmas season! Wilmot had to sell after just one bad Christmas season.

 

I can't wait for some giant corporation to buy my ski hill and ruin it from being a nice family owned place. A rainer like this is the absolute worst outcome I could have hoped for. I would have been perfectly fine with absolutely zero precip and 30s or 40s.

 

Warn and rain around Christmas and New Years is extremely bad for a lot of businesses up here in Wisconsin. It's a real bummer to see this happening. Granite Peak isn't even 100% open yet, Wilmot didn't open until mid December.

 

I have a bad feeling that the ski seasons are going to be shorter next year, no one making any effort until mid December no matter the weather, and then winding down after president's day in february.

Seems like you guys have been tracking this thing forever. Feel bad for y'all but I guess that glacier needs to be built up north first.

 

Same. Horrid timing as well. Hopefully, something comes along to make up for it.

Honestly, I'm hoping for a NW trend. James is right, we need to build the glacier up North. If Lincoln is gonna get nothing, I'd rather have all that snow in the areas where it'll stick around for a while so we can build the path for cold and storms down the road.

Don’t worry guys, just another couple weeks...

 

At this point, that's optimistic. We need snow cover up north for things to go better for us down here. It'll take a few weeks for snow cover to build up north well enough to benefit us, looking at things optimistically. And then we need a solid storm to hit us.

 

January is going to be a bust, that's all there is to it. Our best bet at this point is to hope for a good February.
