Blizzard of 93

The 12z EPS is on board the snow chance train!

I’m on the @Wmsptwx train! March snow is on the way after this warm week!

Sure, winter is over... really?!?!? You were just saying the other day that you expect more snow this month!

The 12z GEFS is on board the snow train as well. I am keeping the train theme going. It served us very well in February! Here is the 12z GEFS through the early next week threat and then the full 16 day run. The 6 inch snow line has made it just south of I-80 and into the I-99 corridor for the full run. This is the best GEFS run since our final event in February!

I would take this 12z GFS and hop on the train! This is next Sunday and Monday.

Perfect... I like him being out!

Snow flurries currently in Marysville.

The 0z Euro Control run is too good not to post. It has 2 winter storms that track under us and reach the coast. We would all be buried in snow again if this somehow verified. I would be more than good with half of this!

The 0z EPS and 6z GEFS are showing the potential of the coming final snow train ride of the winter.

That’s right where I want the bullseye at this range!

Ok, alright, I won’t hold back the snow map....it is Happy Hour after all!

The 18z Happy Hour GFS delivered your storm! This would be a blockbuster snowstorm! The MJO & EPO forecast support the chance. Only 300 hours to go....!

This look that the EPS has been advertising for a few days now could bring a cold pattern with Winter Storm chances for our region. There is ridging in Alaska which will feed the cold air pressing into the trough in the east. The ridge off of the east coast is forced well to the south and east, but nearby enough to prevent storms from being suppressed. The MJO and EPO that I just posted above support this developing wintry pattern. I think that we will be actively tracking a specific winter storm threat for the week of the 15th to the 20th!

Here are a couple of things that could help the snow & cold train later next week and beyond. The MJO is rolling into Phase 1 towards phase 2, which are very good for a cold and stormy pattern. Also, the EPO looks to be heading negative which will help to get & maintain a cold pattern in the east.

March of 93 is my all time favorite too in case anyone couldn’t guess! I don’t think we are done yet this season!

Yes indeed! The snow train might be back on track by mid March! The 18z GFS Para has St.Patty’s Day snow as well!

The 18z GFS has 2 chances of snow, one on the 14th and the other by St. Patty’s Day. Here is the combined snow map after these 2 events.

The 18z GFS Para has snow to our South on the 16th & 17th. The second half of the month could provide us with one final window of snow tracking!

I can extrapolate the 12z Canadian to say that it might snow on day 11 if the run continued!

Thanks for posting this! I was pleasantly surprised to see that Harrisburg had its 28th snowiest Met. Winter with 36 inches of snow. My goal for March is to get 9 more inches of snow at Harrisburg to get the overall seasonal total up to 45 inches. This would then surpass even the 44 inch total from 2013-14 and become the best snow season since 2009-10.

The 12z EPS is still advertising a pattern change back to a wintry look towards mid month. Enjoy the warmth next week, because there is a chance that we are back to winter storm tracking for the 2nd half of the month!

You mean these 300 + hour CTP snowstorm maps courtesy of the 12z GFS Para?!?!

We are not done yet with snow chances...March is just getting started! The MJO looks to go from phase 8 towards 1 and then possibly phase 2 by mid month. The Euro Weeklies show the -NAO also returning for the last 2 weeks of March.

Did you ever find your recycling container today? I might lose sleep because of this...!

Maybe the observer has something to do with it.... Lol...!
