We will soon find out if the high latitude blocking signatures pay dividends for our area. May need a boat and may also need snow shovels. We'll try separating this into threads by month. If that doesn't work, I will simply switch this to Part I of winter. Have fun and good luck!
I was reading the MA forum earlier. They were talking about '10-11 as a possible analog. I looked at 83-83, 89-90, 95-96, 20-21...no match. JB and/or others have mentioned those. But take a look at this.
