if this Easterly literally goes south then i'd probably give up all weather watching and probably all hope too.
Nothing like 2 weeks of dramatic tempting expectant big cold - snow, once in a lifetime event, to be shown and then mercilessly denied at so close a time...
to make one feel so empty and cheated.
that's how I'll feel if it doesn't pan out. be prepared for the worst.
but quietly hope for the best. ?
