Was it quite similar to this one? I do not remember it that well.

It was a typical La Nina December, brutally cold but just no action with storms...the storm track was overall much more busy nationwide than it has been this December....Chicago had several storms, but most systems track too far NW for NYC.

The clipper for next week, or not really a clipper, it looks like it comes in from the PAC N/W, seems quite strong. We have to see if the mountains reduce the strength of the s/w, and whether it can go further south and redevelop.

With that offshore gyre, that storm will dampen out and probably end up south of where it is forecasted.

I know everyone is down from last night; however we must recall this fact that we are in a mod-strong La Nina, which really is not ideal. I see many people commenting on the "La Nina this, La Nina that", given the historic blocking which seemed to have slowed the effects somewhat. But here's the thing, it is the ENSO STRENGTH of the Nina. You really cannot blame the Nina has a WHOLE. A Weak Nina would have been very good this year given history (1966-1967 and 1995-1996) because it has a BETTER southern stream than we have now. Before you blame the Nina itself, its a whole other subset of factors also.

Therefore, I fully believe once it declines (March most likely, since the 1955-1956 analog slowly fits the bill). we will get the storm.
