Highlight for me was watching the evolution of the NE Pac warm pool. It's an extremely rare event to see such a feature isolated (not ENSO related PDO). The fact that we may not see such a set up again like that for decades sits the value of what really happened. 1899, 1917, 1962, 1976, and for a brief time 1989 were such years with that rare feature. Cold, ice, and snow I've seen before and will probably see again but that was the one thing that really made it memorable for me. It produced as many big highs as we will ever see in a lifetime in just one season.
Lowlight of the season for me would be snow. I do realize that the coldest winters (shallow cold) often do not yield much snow since the air masses often overwhelms moisture, but I would liked to have seen at least one big snow event.
It was great going through it with all of you on this board, such a weather savvy bunch. I'm very happy we blew away the post record, only bad thing is I go through old winter threads to see weather set ups and use them as guidance as well for pattern recognition. Not easy when you have to go through such an expansive amount
