Enter Valdez into the place selector and look at the ice water equivalent chart.

Is this expected? If this is due to model spinup or similar, should we omit the pre-2010 decades from the ice water equivalent maps and chart?
Here are the ice water equivalent charts from January - March for Valdez, for example:
