JB is a clown. No one should take him seriously anymore.

Agreed. Ji is just being Ji.

This. We won with this setup in December 2013.

Who wishes for warm weather in winter?

Would be happy even with a few solid advisory level events even.

It's a La Nina pattern. That shouldn't be a surprise.

I'm trying to be optimistic this winter, but it's concerning to see a decent pattern getting can kicked or outright canceled repeatedly. The only thing that's saved us from a dead ratter in the snowfall department are the two minor December events.

That's a KU look 9/10 times.

It's very 12/5/09 vibes.

Appreciate the info. You are correct in that 2006-07 was decent when I was in Lancaster/Philly. 2014-15 was okay down here in Baltimore. 1997-98 and 2018-2019 were hot garbage, IMO.

I don't think any of the analogs that Webber has listed below were particularly good winters in these parts?

What did the P.I.S.S. Index look like in the 10-15 days leading up to the Jan 2016 event?

We're in a truly desperate state in the Mid Atlantic sub forum. It's been a decade since there has been a region wide warning level snowfall, and it's looking rather grim for snowfall chances down our way once again this winter. It's entirely possible that we won't even manage a double digit seasonal snowfall total at any of our climate sites (BWI, DCA, IAD) again this year. I wouldn't read too much into it up in your neck of the woods. You can still very easily score and have had several events this far.
