Yeah it looks like we are going to have a weak Nina or a cold neutral during winter at this juncture. This is recent stuff, from a few days ago-

^Easy to imagine how this will go. That EPAC ridge/downstream trough position looks precarious.. but a monster -NAO will save us this time!
I wont bother posting it because it sucks beyond words, but the CanSIPS has the h5 look that will probably be much closer to reality, based on our recent run.
That MD/DE map has some flaws in it. While interior and upper portions of the Delmarva away from the coast(and not close to either bay) tend to get more snow locally- 18" or so is about right- places right along the coast are too high on that map. More like 10-12" along the immediate coast, including Lewes. Also that area in NE MD near the bay is exaggerated way too low imo. Easton does not average more snow than Elkton.
Get creative psu. You owe us a poem.
In an attempt to make yet another pointless Tenman thread epic, it has been hijacked.
We are generally keeping the "what went wrong" theme however.
This is true, but let me help you with the rhyming part...
Living in the Mid-Atlantic is what went wrong
Move north where winters are cold and long
Without lots of luck, winters here are brief, and suck
Just to expand the futility area a bit, Philly is at 0.3". Their worst snowfall season was 1972-73, recording a trace.
As of now, this winter would rank second, just ahead of 1997-98, with 0.8".
