But you’ll see more sunny/70+ wx in SC than you would in WA. So what are you missing? I don’t get it.
If I was missing a 4” snow event here but traveling somewhere where a 12”+ snowstorm was headed, I wouldn’t be salty about “missing” the 4” one. That’s just weird.
Tropical forcing was already El Niño like by spring 2023, despite the lack of an official declaration.
January 2023 was an intraseasonal event but was also a harbinger of things to come. Couldn’t know this in real time, but the ocean/atmosphere system had already made up its mind about where it was going at that point.
