January 2015 was not seen until d3-4 and never forecasted to dampen by multiple models. January 05 the euro was locked and loaded d7 in but it trended north in the final 2 days. December 2004 had no major SNE storms other than the local Boxing Day 10-12 inch event from a hook and latter (no not ladder!). February 2013 euro was locked and loaded for 7 days while gfs flailed around.
