It was more due before Jan 2024, though...

Definitely. If I had to wager based on current guidance, I think the East Coast has the best potential in the first half of January if the MJO takes its time through 7 and 8 and syncs with the effects of the SSW. Odds become increasingly in the PNW’s favor throughout January. Late January into early February could be prime time for you guys.

Winter sucks

I shall take solace in the fact that it could (will) snow 19 inches here next week.

This is about as accurate as a description for an average PNW winter lol.
