Last 2 are in the epic category. Plus, they have other model support as well, and fits the HL pattern due to the SSWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right, lol (which makes our run of three consecutive years of +climo in that span kinda remarkable, right?) We did have a legit -NAO in Jan 2016, but it was short lived. Good enough to get us a KU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weeklies remind me a lot of those periods. Hope Jebman has his shovel ready down there. 10-11 isnt fondly remembered here... lol. After the boxing day heartbreaker we got one solid event in Jan then winter was over. It was a nina so not going to worry much. Active southern stream this year should continue to feature miller A's and hybrids. Those are our "money" events. Although good blocking can save our area with miller b's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wound up with 6" of wind-shredded baking powder while NY suburbs jacked 30". Eff that storm. I think we'll all be money at some point in the next three weeks.

More? 09-10 for sure....Then 98-99 before that. If this pattern does materialize we are in for a real treat in February. And most likely that stands for the entire east coast.

It's been a long time since the MA through SNE had a great stretch at the same time. JFM 2014 had a nice string of events but progressive flow kept qpf shields really small. Feb 2014 was a weird event and that was the biggest down here but iirc the low occluded early and screwed things up for you guys. Blocked long track coastals would be a lot of fun. I prefer when everyone gets snow as long as i get the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the general experience has been either MA crushing with strong confluence and suppression depression up here, or late developing Miller B's that smoke CT river east and leave y'all dry. Would have no qualms about everybody getting the goods. Better NESIS rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootleg to me is when there is a transient ridge that pops in the NAO domain but is not persistent at all. Kinda just moving through. If we see +height anomalies around GL or Davis Strait that persist for a week or more, I would say its an actual block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have no qualms about everybody getting the goods. Better NESIS rating. That was our only good event. It was above freezing before and during the heavy stuff but it came down so hard it didnt matter. Even had a period of thundersnow. I got about 10" iirc but further north in MD got up to 15". If it wasnt for that storm the winter would have been an epic disaster though. That was the only real event of the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And though it was only for a month, it did deliver. For the time being, it's nice to have a threat to track—regardless of whether or not it works out. It takes away some of the pain of this generally putrid pattern we've been stuck in While we've been looking two weeks ahead for these past two months, we can certainly hope that our "fabled" February is going to make an appearance ... soon!

I think a lot of people didn’t want to see snow after sitting in 10 hours of traffic in Commutageddon, but snow lovers weren’t happy with 1 storm.
