I don't recall. I guess someone could find the Jan 2014 thread at AmericanWx and find out that way. Anyone want to do it?
Here is the AmericanWx winter thread page from around 1/15/2014, when we were 10 days from the strong -EPO peak. Anyone have time and enough curioisity to go through this? this may tell us a lot.
