Well, the good news is that the pacific ocean is getting smaller by 1-inch every year. Eventually, it won't matter what PDO cycle we're in! No more PAC puke!
Where was I for those winters??? None of them were good. There were some good stretches out In my part of the county where I was in '20 - 23 that I distinctly remember driving into snowless Winchester often.
I think I said it back in 2016 coming off 3 consecutive AN winters..... 3 out 4 winters here are probably BN, so we were staring at 9 ratters coming down the pipe. Looks like we're getting them all in succession. '25 - 26 is our year.
November means saying goodbye to any chance of 80s (at least it used to). It also means shorter days, T-day, football, Christmas, and hope of snow to come (and now no longer does). It and October are my 2 favorite months.
That Modoki Nina gave me a White Christmas and a 2F afternoon high on Dec 23. I'd take that and run over this POS nino winter.
Granted, that was not in stephens city. There is no pattern, no storm that could produce snow and cold here. A Polar Vortex spinning directly over winchester wouldn't even get it below freezing here.
