SREF, RUC, RAP, HRRR especially! I remember we had a raging +NAO also! Expand That was not a raging +NAO pattern....we actually had kind of a bootleg -NAO which helped out a bit. We had an ugly AK vortex during that, but the NAO was just enough to give us a few threat along with split flow out west which prevented a total PAC firehose torch.

Not to be a nitpicker....but I'd bet that Dec 1945, 1947, 1969, 1970 all give this year a run for its money and likely a couple of them exceed this year.

Climatologically speaking we behave a little more like the valley I'd say... Amherst also has some latitude on me, and as we know this area is often close to the pinger battlezone where a little bit helps (like on Tuesday for example). I'd say the extra 300' buys us maybe 5 inches more annual snow, and the longitude occasionally helps in coastals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
