January 2019 Discussion


40/70 Benchmark

Recommended Posts

We have a favorable +PNA pattern developing towards the New year and into the first few weeks at least of January.  2013-2014 winter was more active than I originally thought, it has nothing to do with the ENSO discussion currently, just an interesting fact, I found fascinating since my recollection of that winter was that we had many nor'easters track about 200 miles southeast of the benchmark, but we did have some big storms too.

I know subject to change, however, do we go into a "relaxed" period end of January?

I posted in the wrong thread.

I will need 50" from here on out to reach it here, Not impossible with a solid 2+ mos by any mean, But losing Dec usually will make it a little tougher.

well .I do commercial snow removal during the winter, and I still have pictures on my iPhone Jan-Feb- 2015.....I was begging for it to stop! (lol), and if I remember Dec-14 started slow......(I think),

'14-'15 is definitely the best comp for those trying to flip the switch from a brutal December snowfall-wise. It's obviously unrealistic to expect that same outcome but we would still achieve a very good season if we got 60-70% of what happened that year after mid-January. Even getting half of the snowfall would put most areas above average for the season.

Deff. Easier to normalize down here with one or two big events but up north...notsomuch.

Yeah I've learned that in past seasons... in NNE it's definitely harder to catch up to climo than in SNE.  Luckily up this way we had a huge November and have at least had some snow in December.  

The NNE zone southeast of the mountains though is another story but I'm not as well versed in that climo from like LEW to CON area.
