Ok guys. You wanna know the real reason for why winters have steadily declined in quality the past decades?

It's because worship of Ullr, the Norse snow god, has dwindled.

Pray for snow, to Ullr, and all shall be granted!

Freezing rain all the way up to the Arctic Ocean in December? That’s got to be unusual!
It's called clown range for a reason.

At one point it was snowing and -10ËšC here, cold enough that the snow squeaked when walked on. That does not happen very often in this part of the world!

Good point. Honestly, if we had one or two deep lows track just to our south, it would have been a December 1996 repeat. So close. :thumbdown:

December 1996 was truly exceptional: a very juicy pineapple express duking it out with a strong arctic blast.

Another repeat of that is fine for me, We should not expect a full out snowmageddon.

Nice. I think that would be the closest GFS run to put us in the deep freeze. We've seen a few teasers now, hopefully its on to something :thumbup:
