December 6, 2025Dec 6 From what I remember the December 30, 2000 millennium storm was originated from a vigorous short wave from Manitoba which was not supposed to be a factor and one of the models zeroed in on it and wouldn’t budge. We were in a bitter cold regime think we had 9 to 10 consecutive days below freezing. Same thing happened late December through early January 2018 culminating with the big snowstorm on January 4, 2018.

December 6, 2025Dec 6 Think it's going to be important this winter to put into context what models are showing now vs what they were showing a few days ago for a given date. Lost count at the number of times this has happened already.
