Regional dud as in no snow for the whole winter or just none in February?

On the other hand the fall of 2019 was about as great as it could have been. Coldest SON here since 1985.

If we were in January and still muddling through a pattern like this... Yikes. I'm hoping we use the rest of the month to sort out the dominant pattern in the Pacific and then build some cold up north. As has been mentioned before fall 2016 was super mild, did not mean anything for the coming winter.

Northern areas have had kind of a 1990 vibe.
