From the most obvious source.
Don't understand why. I could see a snow/sleet to rain scenario for sure. Ultimately I favor the boundary to end up in SNE though.
And unfortunately any blocking is too far out on the ensembles right now.
Personally think this is a SNE north gradient pattern. Think 08 though maybe a tad further south but time will tell
80s had consistently small to moderate events along with very cold temps.
Our averages are soaring now so those events have dwindled. Now it's all or nothing winters however climate change is affecting our weather patterns more than ever.
These new patterns are not favorable for significant snows so we're seeing more and more nothing years
Maybe things can turn around late winter. I know Nina Marches can be decent.
And a -PNA is less unfavorable in late winter.
However I'm not getting my hopes up. This winter has mainly been a different kind of disaster....cold & dry vs the usual warm/wet. And of course when more precip does arrive it's rain.
All these small events are nice and all but man would I love another KU, it's been years.
I really think the right storm could deliver record snows given warm ssts, dynamics, more precip.
