My 12/5 call probably got everyone’s hopes up too much. Nobody else was bold enough to make a specific projection like that.

You’d think the world was ending with the hyperbolic negativity lol. Pretty good early season snowpack so far with a decent rain and mountain snow coming early next week. Seems like it could be much worse.

Every non OSU fan is rooting for Indiana today.

FWIW, some of the good analogs were also crappy over the next couple weeks, and some of the bad ones like 1966 and 1980 had a much different pattern.

I take a bit of solace in fact that first half of december 2008 was similarly mild and underwhelming before we hit the jackpot around 15th all the way to Christmas (speaking as a Portland resident). However, I don’t know what longer range trends looked like back then when we were in the crap. I was way less into weather back then as I am now.
