FWIW guidance is still on pace for the longwave pattern to shift between March 10 to March 15. The problem is the whole continent is torched and so it would take another week after that before lower level thermals are even remotely cold enough in the east and by then were getting into the timeframe that boundary temps along 95 are really a problem. Places NW with elevation its still possible maybe March 20 on hey could sneak in something...I'm skeptical even there.
As opposed to our boundary temps in January and February?

Kinda hard to deny what is happening when you see that.

I am actually surprised we haven't gotten more big March storms lately. It seems more just like really bad luck than anything else. Crazy stuff can happen in March.

When is the PDO going to flip positive? When was it last positive?

I think the issue is that people want this thread to stay focused on winter weather possibilities or other significant weather events expected through March. Having to go through pages of other dialogue to find posts that focus on the threads topic is tedious.
Like what? LOL.

The P25 Nina looking storm that hits the coast and misses the cities would be the perfect ending to this awful winter for the cities.

0z GFS looked like it spawned a hurricane lol.

And by players on the field, he means potential subscribers. There is absolutely nothing to get excited about or interested in right now. And given what happened last time we started warm and it took weeks to cool off enough to snow, good luck trying to run that back in March, if that's even the pattern that evolves, which it probably won't be.

Obviously very disappointing but the snow held fairly strong today with it being pretty cold and fairly cloudy with some flurries around. Very pretty sunset. So, some positives.

All it takes is 1 storm. January 96 and January 00 were both in Nina’s. Outliers, yes, but it can happen.
I really don’t understand how 96 happened in a Nina.

Oh good, cold just in time for it to be too warm to snow unless you live in PSU land.
Doesn’t really matter to me now anyway. This season has been a disaster and the only thing that can save it is a HECS, which isn’t even worth fretting over or paying any attention to models unless the NAO dips.

Saw there were like 70 unread posts in here and thought maybe something exciting was going on with next weekend. Uhhhhh, no.

From 1964 to 2010 IAD recorded 21 days with 4”+ of snow and a high temperature below 28 degrees.
It hasn’t happened in 14 years since 2010.
That shocks me that there weren’t a bunch of days like that in 2014 and 2015. Also feel like there have been a few storms since maybe 2018 where I thought that may have happened.

From 1-2AM last night it was pretty sweet w legit heavy snow here so despite the disappointment in overall totals it wasn't a total bust imby.
Same. I got good snow for about 45 minutes to an hour, and then another 30-45 of steady snow. If I hadn’t, it would have been a dusting on the grass. Instead, I ended up around 3 inches and all surfaces covered, at least for a time, before the pavement melt began.

Like 3 days ago I said “we should ignore the south band and focus on the north, history says that’s where the goods will be and the south max will be disappointing” I let my desire for us not to be shafted influence me too much yesterday. For a time the guidance kept the fgen displaced south of the arctic boundary and indicated two separate legit heavy snow bands. But things converged on a more historically typical outcome with the fgen shifting north with the better thermal gradient along the arctic boundary. I should have seen that coming. I did from 3 days then kidded myself when crunch time came.
Was coming here to post that you really nailed that. Wild to see that band sit and just absolutely dump. Could have been in the 10-14 inches band, but then again, had that band parked somewhere over us, it was so thin that there would have been a lot of devastated fellow forumers.
I guess we all learned something from that setup for the future, however.
Ended up with about 3 inches here just eyeballing. Perhaps some compaction but not enough snow for it to matter. I, like you, woke up to a melted driveway lol. WTF. I am so depressed with what’s going on with our climo for snow.

Street caved. Dumping good here. Just need three more hours of this lol.
-
Down to 33 and snow picking back up. Sidewalks and driveway caving. Street trying to cave in spots.
-
Please tell me something good lol.

Even that great band up by Harrisburg has dissipated and it looks like they are basically done.
I think I’m out in the future on these real short duration events. Just expect a couple inches and be surprised if you get more. Just too dependent on really heavy rates to do any better.

Man good thing I didn’t break out the special beers. Was hoping for an all nighter, but uhhhhh yeah. Think I’m outtie shortly if I don’t see some yellows heading my direction soon. Whatever. As JI said—stupid hobby, but damn it I’ll be here over and over and over again. Next Friday we try again??
Yeah I was planning staying up really late and taking a nice walk when it started to dump but debating calling it a night.

Back to light snow. Down to 34. I can’t believe I can’t get colder than that. So frustrating but this winter seems to be confirming things, sadly.
Where is the thunder snow and heavy rates? This seems like it is almost over before it even started. Back edge is already on the doorstep. Guessing I’ll get two inches on the grass lol.

I was wondering what happened. The rain was just about to pull out and suddenly it got very windy here. Did not see any trees down, but tons of small and medium sized branches everywhere.
