"The flavor?

Nice December with typical Ninaesque SW flow events, mostly in the 6-10 range or less. Multiple events. Good snow cover beyond 12/10. January begins chilly and dry followed by massive thaw and ending with a very cold snap but not much snow. February temps moderate but the cold memory hangs on and we get a significant KU....best storm since Jan 05 and maybe even exceding in some spots. March starts cold but warms late. A KU which will be a glorified warm front and we put down our beers, declare victory, and know that winter's over.

What can go wrong? NAO can go wildly positive....unlikely. Nina can be strongest on record, unlikely but possible....counting on this not happening. Bad luck.

Let the games begin!"
