The ocean temp discussion is not without merit, and I think warming temps have likely curtailed what used to be more frequent 500-1000 foot snow patterns, which hardly exist anymore. But historically, our true snow events have been made possible by cold, dry continental air interacting with moisture off the Pacific, and I don't think ocean temps factor prominently into that equation. The big missing piece in recent winters has been our inability to get the proper blocking pattern and deep troughs that push true arctic air south without bleeding out over the ocean or losing it east of the Rockies. This pattern was pretty darn close to great. I think it's safe to say we are now officially due for a strong regional arctic air incursion.

Really?

Only thing I see is cool and wet coming up.
