40/70 Benchmark

If you do really wan to push the "La Nina is dead" narrative, Feb 2013 maybe a higher end analog that is achievable.....I almost included it in my February list.

Not really...I'd rather that circle shifted about 200 miles west.

I doubt a truly high-end month of February and we'll just leave at that...I don't care to go there again. BTW, @Ginx snewxFeb 2021 is a contender, too....I could see something like that.

Feb 2014 was probably about the best you will get for cool ENSO...2001 in W NE.

I think the epic stretch was more December into early January...February was relatively tame....then March into early April ramped up again. I had 12.3" that February.

Yea, but def. not La Nina.

El Nino.

I slipped a disc day after xmas....dealing with sciatica. Last time I got that was right before Bliz in 22, which piled on and porked me. Analog? As an aside....I notice this one youtube met keeps saying ANALlog....I couldn't help but laugh.

Speedy recovery, bud...you are one tough SOB.

Oh, absolutely...yea. I just think people are bruised, battered and gun-shy.

As much as I don't feel February will behave like a traditional La Nina....I don't think we have ever had a truly high-end run during the month of February in a cool ENSO....January and March, sure...

I would prefer that verify with SE heights a hair more subdued.

Not sure who did that...I had 22". Sucks for them. But CT is where the two guys that responded to me were from, which is why I said "CT". No one ever explicitly claimed that the whole state got porked. This is the risk of jumping into dialogue after the fact.

Well, Paul....to be fair, many of us have been doing that for years now with little fanfare. ...so it's natural to want to wait until something makes at least into the medium range before giving it the time of day. I don't think anyone is debating the PNA spike in that time frame.

Ask the CT guys who brought it up. No one talked about JPs.....we were just discussing how none of us likely being left out of the focus area.
