The fast flow is real and occurring, however I doubt its permanent and I'm sure it happened in the past and was responsible for past crappy periods.
I mean 1970 through 1999 was horrific for big coastals.
I may be missquoting EasternLI, however I THOUGHT he mentioned that the warm pool was slowly moving east and can eventually be in a favorable location.
Looks that way for a bit. Although we did pretty good snowfall wise in December.
What is great is that we had a major event during our window (southern energy). Sometimes you get a window and fail.
There has to be a few similar cases from 1970 through 1999 when is rarely snowed/had KUs.
Especially the 70s which were cold.
Have a hard time believing we didn't have a fast flow at times back then. Do not know if they even tracked it.
Yup. 79 was not a big deal in my area. I would add March 93 given the severity of that storm.
If I am not mistaken 79 was similar to the last storm with 8 to 12 followed by a changeover.
I cant recall the last winter that was below average temps all months AND relatively dry.
2014/15 cold snowy
2013/14 cold snowy
2003/04 same
Maybe a year in the 1970s?
