Had an inch of slushy snow on the 4th in 2019. No more snow until the end of the month where we got around 3".

12z GFS dumps a very cold trough on us for Valentine’s Day.

Four years ago there was a dusting of snow on the boats in Eagle Harbor. The real fun was yet to come.

The snow storm on VDay 2 years ago was pretty fun.  Lets do it again.

And ridge stabilizes and starts to build, with real cold air building in western Canada for some Randy Johnson sliders to come. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Thankfully for me, the upcoming pattern bears no resemblance to 2021. 

[Snownerd3000]

Headed to Leavenworth this weekend. Hoping this verifies.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Our cup runneth over on this run.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Cautiously interested…

6z GEFS looked great

[ShawniganLake]

Gfs shows we could get some maritime polar air.  Gem looks more mild and splitty

[SouthHillFrosty]

I know right. This guy is reminding me of myself in my 20s. I pretty much gave up drinking six years ago, it just wasn’t fun anymore and I always just ended up with a migraine or feeling like garbage.

Low of 42 this morning with 0.16” of rain since midnight. Up to 0.53” MTD.

I only drink a handful of times a year because of the same thing. Cannabis is the way to go. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The last 3-4 GFS runs have been pretty solid…

Yes. I just have to avoid consuming to much edible if I go that route. That will give me a headache too.

Yeah very rarely ever drink anymore, even just one drink or glass of whatever and I don’t feel right for two days. Anything more than that and I am completely down for two days and life is too busy for that, and like you say it’s just not as much fun anymore. Cannot believe how much I drank in my 20’s though, would feel a little crappy in the morning but by noon myself and the guys at the golf course I worked at were already planning that evening’s festivities. 
 

I do enjoy an edible every evening before bed to help me sleeep…Oh how times have changed lol!

Ahhhh... living it up for the last time!    But probably without his wife participating.

That’s right! I felt hungover every morning without drinking during those infant stages, but from lack of sleep! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

This doesn’t suck. 

[TacomaWx]

Overall this month is going better than last month so far. Should build up quite a bit of mountain snow the next few days. Signs of some chilly weather in the extended ensembles too. Could be the #realdeal.

My son is almost a year, I’m starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I can tell you, having a kid at 38 is a lot different than having a kid at 28, or even 33 with my youngest daughter. I don’t think I can do this again. Though my wife really really wants one more. 🫠

[MossMan]

If it comes…This winter will turn into a A- for me. Right now I am at B- status.

I don’t think either myself or my wife would survive another round of sleepless nights and diapers lol! Our second was born when I was 42 (my wife is a year older than me) and that was pushing it lol!

Got a  nice bump on the head so today will a hat day Fosho I had 3 concussions before this growing up playing sports so it isn’t my first rodeo. Maybe I should start wearing a hard hat around,
