C- For me. I got 5 inches IMBY in December so I can't fail it. But December was supposed to be the warmest month! Back loaded winter lol.
But wow January and February sucked. The eager expectation of everything being on our side this year, only to fail so dramatically makes this year very memorable and educational for me. Any long range forecasting is really just guessing. Most accurate forecasting will be the following for our winters:
1. Healthy dose of west Atlantic ridging. It's never not going to be there.
2. Never a real -NAO block. It's just not going to happen.
3. Good possible snowy periods are with a -EPO and +PNA. This set up will vary throughout the winter. When we don't have it, it's a shut out, when we do, we'll likely fluke out with something.
