We could even get a surprise mini system or two that’s not modeled well at long range in the next week or two in this pattern so not all this cold is wasted hopefully.

I've seen winters that came thru during the 2nd half. Hoping maybe that this "Nina" can show up and actually put together the cold-n-wet at some point as you say.

Highway 50

Our friends from MN retired early and bought a lake house there. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Relatively short winters and a long boating season. I see the charm.

I don't think this meme really applies to this one, at least not yet lol. The timing definitely isn't pushing back, and if anything, it's moved up a bit. A couple days ago it was looking like January 20th would be the start of any potential window. Now it's more like the 17th. We're getting dangerously close to that day 10 mark now. Bigger issue is the details just falling apart entirely imo rather than a perpetual push back of timing until it fizzles out.
