It evens out....I have also had forecasts work out better than they should have. It happens...can't be shy about embracing forecast misses bc they become your ally moving forward and also foster a sense of credibility.
I have 3.5" of snow....my record low dating back to 1956 is 19.9". Considering the awful luck we have had this season, I think we will make up some ground, aside from any strat voodoo.
I'd take this over the 80s.
If you want to try to point ot one thing aside from just bad luck, I don't think we have been the degree of poleward Aleutian ridging that I expect from an eastward titling la nina this year.
