So your analog is showing a huge aleutian low with a ridge over the rockies (again). How does it look over the polar domain though? If we get a -WPO/-EPO or -NAO along with that aleutian low, we just might avoid a wall to wall torch. If we get a well-timed STJ wave with cold air lurking nearby, we could score and big.
Eh, idk. This winter has been pretty dry. Maybe tack on a few extra inches
Actually (nerding out for a minute), 30 years ago was 1985-86, a backloaded nina winter. IAD got 15.6" total. I've already beaten that
Think mby is done for today, 2.1” final. Brings me to 17.4”, close to my median climo (which is lower than mean climo). Beating last year’s 16.9” by a hair.
