But why? Usually with that look it’s hard to get nao but we got it and got it good....
i hope nao shows up this year and failing that EPO continues its trend of recent years and we get enough transient blocking to give us good snows. As mentioned yesterday-gun to head I think normal climo both in temperatures and snow this winter.
This reminds me of a blue balls event in late January 2004. We were in the bullseye for days only to have to system do what this one did. We ended up with 2 inches while NYC got 12+.
I think Luke is taking a “what can go wrong” approach which is prudent. That said-there isn’t really a whiff of a ratter signal at the moment. Gun to head I’d say normal for most-some good and bad spells but overall your average winter.
