Interesting to see the trend how the ridge over central Canada strengthens. At this rate, we'll have a better chance of the New England low dropping down to phase than the weak wave out of the central U.S.
Earlier they removed the yellow shading over us, so something must be trending favorably.
eta: It's odd how their color splits are always the same boundary! It's never west to east.
2011 was no dud, but I see why you mentioned that. No other 3 year span comes close to those though.
eta: 1949-1953 may have been bad even with the low double digits overall, but the law of averages resulting from 2012-2013 ended in our favor.
