C+. 13.7" in January is the 3rd most in my 12 year dataset. February was awful, but the March storm helped cap off the winter pretty well.

Might just be that he’s on chrome, I use the chrome app and it’s not working for me. Moderate snow in McLean, non paved surfaces covered

Reminds me of that one March event we had in 2015 (March 20th?). Similar timing with it being early morning, and only the elevated and favored areas really got much, which I believe was a slushy 1-4", while UHI hell had nothing but snowTV.

There's a bit of a difference in timing between models. GFS is 9-12z Sunday, meanwhile Euro is 0-6z Monday. Probably just noise at this point, but I'd imagine we would want an earlier onset

UKIE likes the weekend event

Mhm, better cold press and a stronger HP overtop compared to previous ensemble runs.

1/3 - 6.5". Fast moving snow bomb. 5" in 4 hours, areas to SE eclipsed double digits. 1/7 - 3.8". Speedy redeveloper w/ a miracle snowband, 1.6" in just one hour. 1/16 - 2.6". Frigid powder turns to sleet/rain with wicked winds. 1/29 - 0.8"* 2/13 - 0.6"* Season Total: 14.3" * = Based on spotter reports Interestingly enough, this is the snowiest La Nina winter for my location (all above measurements are from McLean, Virginia), since at least before the 2010/11 winter. Probably the snowiest Nina since at least 1999/00, which is pretty impressive. Still holding out for a minor event to send us over 15".

57/33 in McLean. It's nice to have a snow event line up with the one weekend I'm home. Hoping for 1.3", that'll put my location over 15" for the year (the average in a data set of 11 winters here is 16.9", but that doesn't include 09/10). Should be close!

It's time to revive March 25th snows and make them the new December 5th.

I would be perfectly okay with getting 3" of SB Sunday snow to watch fall at home compared to watching 7" of snow fall at college. Too bad it's the NAM

The Australian model disagrees, looks like it's saying that it's 4 months away

How ya feelin about next winter?

I mean.. we did have that one wet paste storm this time last year. Was impressive for some areas but ofc for most what little snow fell melted by midday.

If it makes you feel any better, it looks like the Canadian fringes you in an opposite direction by vaulting the initial precip well NW https://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmdn/pcpn_type/pcpn_type_gem_reg.html

story of your post quality too

Very light snow in Harrisonburg while walking to class. Nice ambience

Moderate rain showers, actually.

Trough goes negative a bit too late for us but still a pretty decent hit. Pretty interesting h5 setup

And even then.. it lined up with a pretty significant snow event for the central/southern parts of our subforum. The Jan 3rd event was -AO/-NAO, and all it took was the PAC puke to relax a bit for that event to be possible.

Timing certainly can't hurt at least.. would be somewhat uncharacteristic to go this far into the winter without an elevation dependent forum divider, but that's just my hunch.

One thing I'm looking out for is if the Atlantic becomes more favorable late into Feb. Past Ninas had that as a turning point, recently with March 2017 and 2018. Those didn't take a favorable PAC state to produce good snowfall in parts of the subforum.

Hold on, we got conflicting information here I believe Staten Island Chuck's protocol is different. Must've seen 6 more weeks of -PNA...

Re: @clskinsfanin the closed Med Range thread saying "I liked the long range look from a couple of days ago a little better with higher heights poking into Greenland" The 12z GEFS might strike your fancy. It's been showing up a lot at this range on the OP runs, so it's nice to see the ensembles hinting at it too.
