I think he’s in a sweet spot where he’s just tucked enough into the coastal hills with some elevation to avoid being too moderated, but also fully exposed to ample moisture with little in the way of shadowing. 5 1 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week of bitter cold and at least a handful of snow opportunities already makes this winter (and last) infinitely better than the 2002-03 types.

Hopefully we can get into that pattern. I'd say I've had enough snow days this year to be satisfied, so I wouldn't be too upset about not getting any more.

So about two per decade on average here, and next winter will mark a decade since our last one so we're definitely due. The 1980s and 1940s were the worst with three apiece. 1933-34 avoids an F simply because December 1933 looked like a pretty fun month.
