What a great storm! Yes, seriously! Well, not for most people in the forecast area; however, if you were “under the enhancement,” you were very happy!
Most reports were 5 to 12 inches across the south and southeast portions of the forecast area. Farmington did very well with 8+ inches reported. Across the south, the highest totals were east of 550 and south of 160. One of the least snowy areas in the forecast area.
Up north, Ouray won with a reported total of 19 inches.
We are going to go back to warmer drier conditions as winter returns to the eastern half of the US (again) and there will be very little to talk about the next few days.
I am going to take a few days and do two things:
1: Attempt to figure out what to expect for the rest of the winter. La Niña is collapsing. Latest ENSO models show us moving into the neutral phase (La Nada if you prefer). Historically, our area experiences its most precipitous periods during the neutral stages.
2: Finish my MJO discussion. I will repost the first discussion immediately prior to releasing part 2.
It should be towards the end of the week.
