Gorgeous start to the day. Very unusual to have this much sunshine in the cloud shadow of Frederick. Looks like another round in a continuous onslaught of generally pointless, La Nina-driven northern stream waves is encroaching from the west, but hopefully the clouds will hold off until this evening. Would be nice to get an unveiled sunny day up here for a change.

And if you really disagree and call him out he will delete and block you.

This way out there and low skill (unlike the precision of the Euro ), but the Cfs2 has been hammering for weeks a well AN precip March as reflected in the attached map. Looks Niño to me. But IF correct and we can get it falling at the start of the month with the most favorable temps, we might have a shot at some measurable March snows which have disappeared since 2018. I know, I know,...snows in general have disappeared as well, but after a decent string of March snows starting in 2014, they have generally been MIA since 2018; arguably, 2019 did have an event that was small at all airports and IAD had a few inches in 2022, but they were not area wide.

Just curious what is everyone's dream snow day? For me it would be sitting under the lean-to with a brisket or some ribs on the smoker with a glass of bourbon and a cigar, wood stove going in the building and pouring snow!

An overrunning event Sunday would be the most ideal way to have an overrunning event. Most of the time those setups are rather marginal and you’re fighting modest rates, but it’s already going to be cold Sunday. Throw evaporative cooling into the mix and we’re talking about some higher than normal ratios outside the mountains.

That can you just kicked is going to hit JI in the face lol

Give it a couple weeks. We’ll get the inevitable Biloxi, MS blizzard warning while we have a thread for -15F low temps.

I do like the timeframe after Jan 25. Not sure about the Jan 22-25 window, any storm there looks like it wants to cut. But hope we can get a follow up after.

Except even the Gulf coast is porked.

10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, & 90th PCTL snow fall totals (inches) for GFS ensemble, EPS, and Canada at DCA over the next 10 (15) days. PCTL GFS EPS Canadian GFS EPS Canadian 10 0.1 0.1 0.0 0.3 0.3 0.2 25. 0.4. 0.2 0.1 0.7 0.7 0.5 50 1.0 0.5 0.4 2.3 1.9 0.9 75 2.2 1.0 0.9 5.1 5.2 2.0 90 3.4 1.7 1.6 8.6 8.1 3.1

And some of it's timing, further west means slower means more spacing between the waves and more ability to develop and for the trough to tilt negative

Nobody is or was defending anything. Man, you are one miserable individual.

I thought exact same thing, I think once we get Thursday's system out of here, the models can handle that wave better. Here's the Euro trend over the past 6 runs, definitely digging the wave further West and deeper each run. A little more tilt and further digging, this thing could look pretty nice IMO.

Crap…. First October and now November snow is a kiss of death

More snow in November than January?

The juice is coming... hopefully

I kind of figured you were haha. It was pretty entertaining though watching that blow up for a bit lol

Yeah, the lack of STJ in a nina.

It does look like the clipper train could at least keep things wintry through the next week, remains to be seen how much accumulates, down wind of the lakes should win either way though.

I was just given you shit - I knew what you meant, and actually don't really care other than hopefully succeeding in being an annoying word Karen lol

seems like a classic Nina with the colder/snowier Dec followed by a warmer/less snowy Jan

Just like last year they keep getting can kicked.

I legit laughed at this. I love the defense of this winter when pictures of a rural access road in far northern Maine has a foot of snow on it. Like wow, I had no idea, I’m totally sold, this winter rules

My yards the same, the dog has been slipping and sliding.

We had a January thaw, right on cue...but it came and left this disaster, hopefully we can work on it some more before the arctic revisits the area. Makes for taking the dog out at night quite the adventure.
