Yeah, first half of May was almost totally dry that year. Second half almost totally the opposite. There was even lower elevation snow (below 2000') on 5/22/2013 with that monster deformation zone.

Yeah, probably do the obligatory transient June trough for one last hurrah before we embark on our 90+ day hell fire journey. Like I said, I'm putting my dreams into the tail end of the season. Niños tend to be front loaded, so the late summer through early winter period often isn't bad and is a bit more dynamic. Which would be a nice change of pace.

I remember on midnight June 1 it was 39F here!
