Unfortunately this happened a lot in the past (only producing moderate or minor events).

That was the first time CPK breached 20 inches in four years. Unfortunately it was followed up by a 12.6 winter. In total part of a 10 year stretch of below average snowfall winters.

Just looking at this again, CPK had 7 30+ snowfall winters from 55 through 69. More similarities between that period and 00 through 18.

Daily ensembles for the 14th

The hugger and the clippers have come back. There actually was a clipper a couple weeks ago.

I think CPK getting to 50 inches is tough to do historically so perhaps not a great benchmark. From 1970 through 1999 CPK reached 50 inches 3 times, ironically 2 in the warmest period of the three (1990 through 1999). In fact in that 30 year period, only 3 years total went above 30 inches. By contrast, CPK went above 30 inches 13 times since 2000! In summation, it will be hard to determine who is right for the foreseeable future, since we are likely within another low snowfall period. We shall see.

DC only needs 6 inches to reach average. That would add to it.

Phase 3 is cold and it takes over 15 days to get into mid phase 3. Factor in a 5 day lag and you have a few extra days remaining in 3. Blocking seems more sustainable. MA is favored more sure, however we can still get moderate events. This is clearly a 1980s setup.

Daily Feb. 14 post. All similar.

Borrowed from the MA forum. Cold will not be the issue at all unless a storm over amplifiers. Unlikely as Bluewave pointed out with the Pacific. As Don noted a good shot at moderate events.

It's plenty cold enough for the MA. The southeast would need timing with that look.

This is EXACTLY what we witnessed 70 through 99. I mentioned probably 100 times. Cold and dry warm and wet over and over. SE slider or wound up cutter or Hugger. We thought the hugger was "extinct" (as well as the clipper), yet now they are back. History just repeats itself. I was thinking the ocean temps would hinder a repeat of that time period, and keep a semi permanent SE ridge to allow all those suppressed snowstorms to get us, however it's just the same. I really do feel good for the MA and SE though. While we wait and wait, they are still cashing in.

The warming waters in the IO are helping us here

This was my first foot plus storm since 1983 (had 11.5 in March 93 superstorm).

Yeah this is prime for the Middle Atlantic and perhaps southeast.

That's the 1970 through 1999 period for yah. We were way too spoiled in 00 through 18 that we thought all blocking would produce. The MA cashing in, like January, happened more often. I guess the miss alignment with the Pacific helps south of us while we need the Pacific to help storms gain latitude.

Still in track for 14th.

Talk about un consolidated polar vortex

331 feet. NYC has a double whammy. On the water and major UHW.

Lol I just realized Raleigh has been out performing CPK lately in terms of snowfall as a % of average.

Yeah my sister lives in Cary NC and hates snow so remember it well. We are entering a multi year pattern where they can rack up again.

January so colder, however the NC coastal areas can still do good....2022
