One of the reasons January 2024 is so memorable is how utterly terrible the rest of that winter was. Had that event not happened, 2023-24 would have been our generational dud.

Idk, I wouldn’t call last winter a dud, I got nearly 4” in Belmont and there was a subfreezing high downtown. I consider a true dud to be less than 1” of snow. The historical record is dotted with winters like that - I’m pretty sure they’re as likely at PDX as a 15”+ winter is.

I’m not ready to give up on January.

For the western US 2022-23 was the best winter of the century. We won’t see another in our lifetime.
