There is a reason why stronger la nina climo isn't exactly littered with high-end east coast events....and the few that do exist are in the first half.
Hey, this beats the hell out of January.
Steve, 1'+ is not a blockbuster around here....wouldn't sniff top 20. 20" is when we can talk....I'm not saying it isn't a memorable, great event...but blockbuster is upper tier, historic.
The arctic airmass vacates.....love how the other system blocks and delays the storm, but the arctic air just pulls a Houdini and vanishes right through everything.
This is partly why you don't get blockbusters in stronger la nina events....splattering of PAC waves everywhere, so they manage to interfere with one another just enough.
