Blizzard of 93

The 0z Euro, GFS & Canadian are all trying to snow on us this Monday. The Canadian was definitely the most enthusiastic.

The fantasy blizzard on the 12z GFS for March 31st & April 1st was too good not to post. I think most of us would settle for a small fraction of this snow if we were to get one more storm. If the .00000001 % chance that this storm were to verify by some miracle, it would be one of the greatest surprise winter comebacks of all time!

The GFS, GEFS & EPS are trying to get it to snow on Monday. They have showed this potential now for a couple of days. Let’s see how this trends the next few days. The MJO will finally be in our favor. We are beyond overdue to luck into some snow...

The MJO on the Euro & GEFS is still forecasted to go solidly into phase 2 & phase 3 next week, which are the coldest phases in the East in March. Also, the 12z EPS finally has the AO heading toward neutral by the last week of the month. It also has the NAO going slightly negative for the last week of the month. The telleconnections might give us a chance at some winter weather before we fully close the winter shades this season.

Then the next 3 days the highs won’t get out of the 40’s according to CTP.

In these trying times, there is one constant...the Happy Hour GFS ! It seems like this place could use some snow maps to provide a little diversion from all of the news. Here is what the 18z Happy Hour GFS showed for next Tuesday.

At this point, it is funny. We only have a few weeks to go in which snow is remotely possible in this region. I’m going to enjoy tracking to the bitter end. Maybe we will get lucky just once ?

The models & CTP backed off of the Thursday front end chance today. CTP, up until this morning, had rain or snow chances for zones in the LSV for Wednesday night & Thursday am. Up until last night, there were several models that, for a few days, showed the opportunity. Once again, it doesn’t appear to be working out. I still haven’t given up on snow chances by the end of the month. The MJO across all models is moving into phase 1,2 & then 3. Sure, it is very late in the game, but at least the MJO might finally cooperate.

Congrats! In this winter, any sighting of snow is a win. I saw 0.0 snowflakes last night. It was just too warm yesterday in the LSV at the surface. We just were not cold enough despite the colder air available up above & the low dew point. Maybe this Thursday we will have the chance at some front end snow ?

Are you getting the chance to use that snow board tonight?

@Bubbler86 & @Cashtown_Coop look to be the winners for a chance at a light to moderate coating of snow tonight according to the 12z NAMs.

The 0z Euro is on board with the Thursday snow chance.

I can’t wait until the usual jokers on here say “it’s over” or there’s “no chance” for snow over the next few weeks. Don’t worry, I’ll have plenty of time to post over the next few days. Buckle up, maybe some digital snow will turn into reality before we are really done? Why is there is a chance you might ask? The MJO is finally moving into phase 1, 2 & then 3. Also, the -EPO should also help to increase our chances.

I know that everyone has been begging for snow chances & snow maps... The GFS & some other models have been advertising another snow chance this Thursday...(Not 10 days out....) Here is the 0z GFS. I can’t wait to shovel !

The 3k NAM is on board as well for snow for early this Sunday.

I know that some of you have been anxiously waiting for me to post some snow maps.... I present to you the 0z NAM for early on Sunday. The models have been slightly juicing up this storm over the last day or so. There will be a strong High to the north & the overnight timing is ideal as well. Maybe we can score a heavy coating of snow?

We can move on next month when it becomes impossible to snow in this area. Until then, I refuse to stop looking for snow chances. Just because this winter has been horrible to this point does not mean that it can’t snow during the next few weeks. Now, let me go searching for some snow maps...

The Euro was juiced up & gained latitude in the Midwest for the weekend potential. It still fizzled our east of the mountains this run, but the potential is there for a light to moderate event if this holds together. Verbatim this run was a decent snow event from Nebraska to western PA. There is s strong High to the north in Canada. If the storm holds together a little more, CTP could have a chance to get involved.

The latest GFS & Canadian both bring some light snow to us by Sunday morning. The Euro has the storm, but weakened it & suppressed it to the south of PA.

The 12z Euro & EPS did try to have the weekend Winter storm threat gain some latitude in the Midwest, but then the strong High in Canada suppresses the storm as it travels east. If the High is slightly weaker or the low can amp up a little more, than we could be in business for a light to moderate winter storm by the end of the week.

@MAG5035 Yes, The EPO looks to go into significant negative territory by later this week. The MJO on the Euro also looks to emerge from the COD into phase 2 & 3, which are good for cold in the east in March. I think that the models will respond & give us chances for winter weather over the next few weeks.

LOL, Who said that it’s all over ? I know that many people have thrown in the towel a long time ago this Winter. I enjoyed the last 2 day warm up, but I’m not done tracking Winter weather possibilities. When we get one more snow in the next few weeks, I will one of the few on this board that will proudly be able to say that I never gave up!

The EPO dive into negative territory looks to be more impressive today on the EPS & Canadian ensembles. This could set the stage for some winter fun before we are done.

Then, we might snow by the end of the week! There is something for everyone in March.

Just when many of us thought that we might be done tracking winter storms, the Euro & Canadian bring a decent looking pattern for next weekend. The models might be responding to the -EPO that is coming on later this week. The MJO looks to be turning more favorable as well. Might as well track as long as we can...
