This is the issue. If you can avoid, or tone down the winds, it will work out much better for you guys. Let's hope they don't materialize.

Checking up and seeing lots of cold signals for Feb. SSW looks unlikely until late Feb but there are indications of another cold Feb. Late Jan pattern reminds me of 2018 again.

You said 0 cm. yesterday.

Then we should expect 15-20 cm

Uh oh now you're gonna get me on an off-topic tangent...Also sorry in advance if you get hungry..To say I'm a rib guy is a bit of an understatement. I use a Traeger for my ribs personally, the smoke flavour is insane. Here's some beef and pork ribs pics all from this past summer:

Never heard of a Traeger before but those look amazing!!! :o We should have a summer get together...at Bear's place. :lol: :lol:

The only issue I see in the models is that they look very dry, at least around Abby. For example, the GFS and RGEM has very little moisture.

I hope you are right though. You are better at reading the models than I am. :D :clap:
