Would be my 4th event and an opportunity to hopefully hit 2.5 or 3 inches for the season. Currently at 2.

I thought Atlanta as of today had more snow than Philly too.

Did Raleigh get any accumulation before the mix?

I believe the Euro picked up on the last light snow event.

Any official snowfall report from Atlanta?

Any official report from Atlanta?

Looks like a robust Hadley Cell.

Not sure if this map is a la nina or El nino, however, looks as though phase 3 is cold across the country. Looking at the forecasted mjo looks like we may have a standing wave in three. This may keep us in the freezer?

I am definitely looking forward to snow in the air and hopefully we can get a coating to an inch which will look nice.

One constant this winter so far has definitely been the negative EPO.

I don't trust the weeklies whatsoever at that range, it's a coin toss whether we reload into the same type of pattern we have now or we default into a typical Nina pattern.

Looking forward to snow falling even if minor. Hopefully as the blocking eases we do get a large snowfall to cap off this period.

Here is 6z

Still hopeful for a coating to an inch, which is doable with the northern stream energy.

Looks like we are heading to phase 3 high amplitude. If I am not mistaken, while not conducive to snowfall in February this phase can work well in March, assuming it's fairly static.

Wanted to share with this audience as the four seasons poster is amazing and this website is amazing. It's new england-based but if you click on the link you will see how the tri-state area increase snowfall over the 2 30 or periods (amazing how the snowfall averaged increased so much). Thanks as always 4 seasons. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/average-seasonal-snowfall

I wonder when the last time DC, Raleigh and Dallas had more snow than Central Park in mid January.

Yeah BlueWave stated that storm track was more important for January and February.

Would be hilarious if we had a 32 inch Nemo bomb in February bringing our snowfall total to above average LOL.

Agreed, also the nao is not too positive in that depiction. Something that amplifies too much would cut in that look however we could score a front end dump also.

We lose the blocking however Eastern Canada will become very cold and we would have a great cold source to tap into.

I agree that the ensembles are starting to move away from a negative PNA which is odd given the proged mjo forcing per below. Although, I am not sure if that is phase two or three in the last frame.

I agree that this coming event had a small window with a bit of Southeast ridging, however it still needed a phase and snow goose was the first to say days ago that this favored the southeast. The trough access has definitely been over us this month. Yes I want 80° weather now.

Why would forky say we had a risk of cold and dry if it was a good look? It was a cold look for sure, however, as one met stated we were on the backside of a trough and that's why we were dry. Trough access is very important. In 2018 we had a record warm February with 80° temps and 5 1/2 in of snow.
