It will always be like this with the mean trough axis over us or to our east, which is pretty much where it's been the last two winters.  Light dusters galore but when the big ones come, we warm up.  Need the mean trough 500 miles to our west which is when we cash in with the big dogs.  But of course, we always run the risk of Miller B's giving the goods to the EC.  Climate..

Ive been a weather observer for 30 years now. We get plenty of all snow systems. The east coast actually gets more mix systems than we do. The pattern right now is super funky but once we flush this out im liking January overall.

The point is a big chunk of the big systems that take a favorable track for us are Miller b and transfer energy to the coast. Not all, but a lot.

Northern 2/3rds of DTX's CWA has had plenty of Big Dogs over the years. Its the southern 1/3rd that really struggles to put it all together.

This couldn't be more true.  Southern 1/3 of DTX is in the rip-off zone between cutters and Miller b's..

May be why I get high anxiety is storms even when we have a Winter Storm Warning and 6+ forecasted.  Seem it bust too many times.
