It's extremely hard to get a really big snowstorm (12+") sometime other than an El Nino.
Expectations should be kept in check for the rest of this season. We got our big-ish one on 1/6. Now we should be take our 1-3" and 2-4" events when they come until we get another AO/NAO flip to negative.
Sure, that may be true.
But was our January pattern really a fail? Sure, maybe for you, but most of Maryland and DC scored. Were we supposed to expect two 6-12" miller As with five additions 1-3 and 2-4" events?
