Looking back, 1993-94 had really no blocking until the end of the winter.

Maybe that's why it started a bit late and the first snow event was a clipper.

We had a lot of overunning that year and finally got a big coastal in March when we got a little blocking.

You can have a very good winter without a ton of blocking, but blocking is more important in December.

Yeah, 1994 peaked late and then a week later, there was a coastal storm.

From what I remember the December 30, 2000 millennium storm was originated from a vigorous short wave from Manitoba which was not supposed to be a factor and one of the models zeroed in on it and wouldn’t budge. We were in a bitter cold regime think we had 9 to 10 consecutive days below freezing.

Same thing happened late December through early January 2018 culminating with the big snowstorm on January 4, 2018.

Hmmm. Not to be ignored. Icon and Canadian see it also. IMG_0424.jpeg

Think it's going to be important this winter to put into context what models are showing now vs what they were showing a few days ago for a given date. Lost count at the number of times this has happened already.
