2004-05: That was a great winter-snow in November and the December event around Boxing Day. January torched the first half but then all hell broke loose pretty much until April. Too bad you took that as normal!
Lately? Like almost never....even in my youth. 1993-94 was close but nothing got rolling until around a week from now. 1995-96 but then the mega melt. 2010-11 for 6 weeks. Wire to wire? I've seen it in upstate NY but never in areas not prone to LES or upslope. Places far enough north yes-but Hartford, CT? A resounding LOL...
Since there tends to be about a 3 month lag, what's the difference? With that said, too much emphasis is put on enso state sometimes. There are many factors-some enso, others bad luck.
Been in you guys shoes many times….good luck Chicagoland. I did discover the best snow weenie screen name on this forum. Congrats imneversatisfied-sums it up for many of us (not me) in New England.
Thanks! I notice 18z euro showed what seemed to me lake enhancement later.
Good luck-wish I could come but I’m home recovering from covid.
I did send this to 15 Chicagoland relatives:
“Heads up everyone. A once a decade blizzard is likely later this week in Chicagoland. If I didn't have a rebound of Covid we'd be coming to experience it. Any travel after Wednesday probably will need to be rearranged. It's going to be very cold later in the storm-be careful!”
Just sent this to my Chicago relatives-15 people.

It has warmed but the long wave pattern is what I’m talking about. I mean the west is way below average. Snow frequently the past 2 years in Seattle. It has happened before on similar patterns. To me the biggest effect of cc is the length of the cold season which seems shorter.
