Not to put you on the spot, but from what I can remember, this was actually one of the most prototypical Niños in modern history. @Phil could probably back the strength of the regime up with a whole basket of numbers and acronyms. With the exception of mid January's SSW induced blip and a few expected, but brief, episodes of transient NW flow, our local weather pattern was locked in a +PNA death grip from late November's strong anticyclone and inversion, all the way until January's end-of-month atmospheric river bonanza-torch withered into the opening days of February.
A slight +PNA lean still persisted through the end of February before March two thousand and twenty two entered the ring and immediately introduced the first natural system-state troughing regime (no SSW takesies-backsies) in over three months. Even then, the Ides gifted a stout ridge and a fancy pair of record highs, including what still remains to be the warmest weather of the year so far at KSEA...
