Yeah I can see that type of scenario occurring. I have a feeling this winter is not going to really behave extremely well which will make the long-range forecasting exceptionally difficult.
There is a great deal in place which I think favors a -EPO/major blocking. The jet should be very, very strong too so we'll need the block/-EPO to suppress it, but given this the pattern I think should be active so we'll see if that can transpire into above-average snow for us.
