This sentiment needs to be put to rest.
No this is a 2020s pattern. The 80s were substantially colder and snowier than the 2020s. This is the CC era pattern
We're going to see a historic drop in average snowfall for this decade across the entire Northeast.
This pattern is stuck and ain't changing. A 20" average collapse is crazy.
If it was a really good pattern then things would've materialized.
This pattern stinks. Way too much suppression that favors DC. Too much confluent flow
It's kinda cut and dry if you think about it. Will northern stream drop south in time and phase with southern disturbance or not.
If it phases then boom
Going back 5 days from current system and GFS was remarkably accurate.
Every storm is different however but I do think once models get a grasp on the system that it won't change much
