This season is the type that we get a couple runs of a decent solution...but it just can't hold. Every single system has done this to us this year. Unfortunately there are seasons where this happens,we've seen them before-(especially in the 80's, but there have been a few others too). I don't believe it's going to improve much...the signs are there and have been there for a while now.
But on the other side of the coin it's SNE too, and you'd think we'd get One "Warning Event" in there during Astronomical Winter...even Most Ratters have one-2012 did in Jan. So I do think we will get one, but that could be it. And if we don't get one, it could be an All Time RAT.
Heading up North very soon for some fun in the snow....having winter hobbies definitely lessens the sting a lot when we don't get any snow at home.
