Also historically Lincoln averages the same or a little less than NYC I believe. I understand the frustration from the standpoint of getting a freak big storm or two, feels like we grind and earn our snow in this part of the country vs NE just getting gifted big ones.

For as dry as it has seemed the last few weeks... we are still running close to normal or wetter than normal for the rainy season in most places from Portland northward. SEA -.49 OLM +1.23 HQM +1.56 BLI +5.12 PDX -.33 And the rest of February looks like a lock to be wetter than normal regardless of whether we get lowland snow.

Have you been watching Welcome to Wrexham? That helped me understand the insane passion for "football" in the UK. The Super Bowl in 2018 was played in Minneapolis where the temperature was 2 degrees at kickoff... but the game was played in the 72-degree comfort indoors at US Bank stadium off course. I just don't see places like Chicago or Green Bay or Seattle ever getting a Super Bowl because they don't want the weather to decide the game. They took a big risk in 2014 with the Seahawks first Super Bowl win being played in New York but got really lucky with mild, dry weather that was not a factor in the game at all.

Whoever has been manifesting CO Low's and GL's cutters, I think the universe is picking up on that energy!! I will say this, from the middle of the month into March it will be the epitome of CO low's and Panhandle Hooks. My Blizzard call is on the table among other storms that will hit areas that have been missed this entire season. Let 'sget this storm parade started once we get through this FEB Torch period....The pattern is clear to me that a very good swath of this Sub should see it snow more than they have seen it all year. I just have this feeling based off of some maps I'm looking at and have been analyzing over the past few days that the central Plains/MW will reel in opportunities for a good 2nd half of FEB. #BackLoadedWinter The original idea is for a Blitz setting up around the 17th - 21st (Might have to dial it up 17th-19th)...and this system should tug down some arctic air w/ another follow up storm post 20th/21st.

While the operational models are not biting to hard on the snow chances for the 12th/13th, the GEFS/GEPS and EPS are continuing to show there is still a good chance some of you will see some snow. @Minny_Weatherdid you say you moved down to SW MN?? FWIW, this will be the start of a wonderful 2-3 weeks for our Intermountain West Ski Resorts...there will be a lotta snow falling and I got gut feeling UT into CO will see very good snows. If I had to choose, I would definitely book a trip to the Sierra's (Heavenly Tahoe) and stay there to see FEET of snowfall. 0z CMCE...
