Yes. I’d have to look into it more but it seems rare when the NJ beaches score and us NW peeps do too. I recall too many times when the AC boardwalk got buried and all I’m looking at is cirrus.
Welp, if I can’t score, I sure hope this is a nice event for the NJ and DE posters!
Not to pile on but I read Paul Pastelok’s blog from AccuWx this morning -- he's going with +2 to +3 in January for our area. The weenie in me says it can still snow, we just need to time moisture with a cold shot. The realist in me says we don't do timing well.
In other news, it's a balmy 49F
That's the other odd change in recent years. Back in the 70's and 80's, the 3-5, 4-6 inchers were our bread & butter. Other than '78 and '83, HECS were non-existent. Now it seems we get advisory-level events or big dogs.
Fortunately I think most of us have come into this wither with low expectations. One winter that's been in the back of my mind is 1998-99. It was also a Nina, but other than that I don't know if there are other similarities to this year.
98-99 certainly wasn't a memorable winter, but not a shut out either. We had a few weeks of winter that year where we got nickeled & dimed. I think our "biggest" event was in March.
