My biggest takeaway:

Looking at the nearest 12 rankings (+6/-6) in this season, and allowing only for cases that showed both one-month and three-month drops in the MEI, eliminates all but six cases: 1960, 1985, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 2008. None of these cases are included in the comparison figure, perhaps illustrating how unusual the current situation is.

I'm peeking onto the German portion of their site now. I'm guessing some maps are left off the US version?

They actually look pretty similar...so idk. Maybe it's available via subscription. I guess if it's out there Steve-O will find it.

Not sure I buy Albany getting 175 percent of normal snow. That would be a blockbuster year for all of NNE. Very doubtful.

I wouldn't be surprised 

 

I saw the 175% up in NNE and just sort of shrugged.  I get that it’s a blanket number, but we’ve talked about it before on the forum – with the large annual snowfall numbers and tighter variance up here, deviations that large are just not that practical.  At 175% of average annual snowfall we’d be pushing 300” here in the valley, and the resorts would be nearing 600”.  It’s certainly not “impossible” (Jay Peak recorded 581” in 2000-2001, presumably using their standard measuring methods), but using my data set it would be around 3 S.D. above the mean, which should represent less than 1% of seasons.  It would no doubt be fun to experience 175% of average snowfall around here, that would simply obliterate 2007-2008 with respect to the top spot, but we’d basically have to go bell to bell sort of like 2000-2001.

I have little doubt being a N.Y. metro based forecast they spent little time on analyzing VT elevations but maybe not, it has happened before so it's not historical.
