This really has a 2016-17 feeling to it. T'was a great winter here. Dec and Jan with ice and snow. A solid event in early Jan that brought several inches of snow with below freezing temps.
I'm just talking about the CPC analogs to matching the current pattern. No doubt 2016-17 is a great match in the big picture.
I think there is like a 10 year lag before they will allow a year to be in the analog pool due to patterns repeating so often in a short time frame. If that wasn't the case it could well be in there.
That 1964 analog has been showing up for days now. Forgot to mention 1961 earlier which was another decent winter. Also seeing 1972 pop up pretty often. Right now the biggies seem to be.
1961, 1964, 1972, 1990, 1996, and 1998. Anyone ready for a December cold wave?
