If the MJO takes that route along with even some moderate blocking we'll likely see at least one more event. NYC needs less than 2 inches for 40. My area needs about 5 for 50.
The piles here will be around a long time. There are massive piles in the parking lots. Even the December piles had not fully melted before the big Feb snows....
yeah they are mostly garbage...granted it is above normal temp wise alot of the time, but there's never any deviation from the standard outlook as you note.
