See that’s telling right there. Because you’re right and it kind of validates my thinking too about coastals, but we’ve also commented on that stupid trough backing its ass up south of Alaska screwing things up too. That’s definitely porked us.
The average of those are based on good patterns and bad patterns. We had a pretty good pattern, but we couldn’t buy a coastal which to me would be surprising if you told me that five months ago.
That’s what I mean. I never said it wasn’t good. But given the pattern we had, I feel we left some on the table and that’s a little disappointing. But I’m not complaining about what we had.
Meh many others commented too. If you told me coldest start to 96 and one good storm, I would have thought you were crazy. Never said it wasn’t good, but kind of yawn.
I will say we had pretty much the various type of winter events from squalls, to inv troughs, to clippers, to SWFE. We just have not had a legit coastal.
There’s actually a little MU CAPE pushing into NYC area this evening. I think that’s one factor boosting the precip in an otherwise mundane setup for SNE.
