You and Jim are never going to agree on this. Jim is positive this is a NIÑA. It’s easier for me to except this train wreck so far knowing we are in a neutral winter.

I do remember that one. I thought we pulled in some cold air up here as a surface low tracked just to our south. We ended up with 9-10” and had a bunch of mid 30/ mid 20s days after the snow fell. Reminded me a lot of December 18-19 2017 here.

in the comments he says they average 51' a year, half of the Chugach in AK map is referring to average not extremes

I've thought a little bit about Dec 1950. That thing was a stinkeroo! Very nicely made up for later on.

AL seems pretty comfy at the moment.
