Not long range, but as good a place to put it as any … at KOKV, this month, in 23 days, 15 below freezing, 5 with highs in the 30’s and ….. 0.05” of precip.
So give me a January with 3.5” of precip, then let’s evaluate.
Yes, any northern stream system has the potential to do that. My hope would be that at the least we can get cutters into cad, or true clippers that actually track under us all the way to the coast.
We also had great winters in 2013-2014, and 2014-2015 with no help in the Atlantic. 2012-2013 was decent (location dependent) and 2018-2019 was good. I don’t think those were friendly Atlantic’s either.
We have seen this discussion crop up year after year and everyone has their opinion, but for me, I like nickel and dime winters that are frequent and consistent. Not much for the big event and let’s call it a winter type winters.
