We had a good amount damage to Norway’s in this snow. I had to laugh at the comments of two neighbors in our neighborhood FB group about how much they hate them. In contrast I saw limited oak damage. I just love when the Norway’s get slaughtered like that. That species just sucks.
December 2010 was great in Boston.
So there are times where a west based -NAO may lead to huggers, but I think overall we certainly do want a -NAO for the big boys. A lot of our major snow events have had some serious blocking. Anywhere from DC to BOS wants blocking.
One nice thing about the torch start, is the great weather for outdoor activities like get togethers. I don’t know about anybody else, but hoping to take advantage of that before the shit hits the fan.
I'd argue late December 2012 into 2013 was the best. 2015 was one time and it was rightfully so, as it took a miracle for the blizzard to happen given that wave spacing.
Synoptically they probably are due for one of those. It's just real hard to get anything 18" or more in the lakes region, but I think Brian has the better chance where he is. The Lakes Region is more known for the 6-10" deals and CAD.
