Analogs of 1984 had a snowstorm on December 5

Check out the top 8 highest daily snowfall in December. Notice 1984 shows up. 1917 is number it was followed after a moderate La'Nina similar to last year. Also a second La'Nina. Big time snows in December are rare here. Last one 2004 which is on the list below. The total was 10". Look for January to rev up in this part of country.  As stated in my winter forecast December is expected to be a transition month but that's doesn't mean we won't see several inches 2-3" or a snowstorm 4".
