and the MJO, EPO, NAO, warm water near Australia. Literally nothing worked in our favor this year....I was lucky to get the 4 inches here on 1/18, that was about it other than some ice and snow to rains in early December
I've gone to Mohawk (CT) twice this year and it's actually been decent with all the snowmaking and no crowds at all.... But when there's no snow down here, people just don't go.
