Go team snow, it's you me and Herb at the end of the queue waiting for our snow booster shots. Was sort of expecting to land closer to the middle of the pack but hey, it is what it is.
This is my general forecast, rather mild at first, becoming highly variable, fairly frequent nuisance snows and one or two big storms, then a very mild end to the season unfortunately, we'll need to do our business in January and early February I think, and lake effect will be heavy at times with the lakes currently very warm after such a warm November (analogue 1975) favoring high forecasts at BGM and helping a bit for ALB, BTV.
Good luck everybody, especially Team Snow -- Roger Smith
Despite its La Nina face ... I suspect the winter will have a few surprises up its sleeve.
DEC IRL has fooled just about every temperature forecast. DEC snows are fairly uncommon. Strong Miller A activity to boot.
