Yeah we do have to wait for the fast flow to slow down for larger events.
One note, REGION WIDE foot plus events are relatively rare. In the 30 year low snowfall period there were 2 in 1978, 1 in 1983, 1 in 1994, 1 in 1995 and 1 in 1996.
Only 3 in 20 years from 1970 to 1989.
Ironically, the 1990s which were much warmer had the most.
This is why I am not too worried with the current run.
