Right now its stable, but there has been plenty of bad luck this season.....poorly timed waves cut, and some got squashed. Not to say that the winter still wouldn't suck here, but not this bad.
The NAO has also killed us, and that isn't luck...however it leaves us more prone to luck. Some of these cutters would have easily been like 2-5" or 3-6" front enders if they were timed better..and given that it hasn't been that warm, you would think more would.
