I lived near Philly at the time-senior in HS we were lucky to get the northern fringe of a few of the storms but it was small potatoes like this year...and then the torch came and we roasted Jan/Feb/Mar. Lawns were being mowed mid March that year lol

I would think there's a 7 to 10 window in there....

Depends on cold air supply-will need below average temps for any frozen precip as normals rise into the upper 40's and low 50's.

yeah all snow in VA beach with temps in the mid 20's the entire event.

.27 of precip for RIC so maybe 3 inches of snow?

That 4/2/18 storm was perfect-nice injection of cold air the day before and the storm was at night/early AM.

You would need a capture/stall scenario like 1888 or Feb 2013 further west

I'm about done anyway-cold windy and dry has gotten boring over the last 2 months....

Yep last 3 weeks or so before climo really starts to work against us--hopefully we can score an event or two even if small

yeah that failed as the event was getting underway....

They didn't really lose it-it's still there-just 250 miles south of where they had it. Models were overamped in the mid-range.

It's ripe for small/moderate events. We still have the same issues present that have prevented the big dog.

Sun angle increasing nicely now so sun will feel alot warmer than a month ago

Virginia Beach with up to a foot of snow-what do they average in a season-1 inch? - Wednesday Snow, mainly after 1pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 31. Northeast wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. Wednesday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 27. North wind 14 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible. Thursday Snow likely, mainly before 7am. Patchy blowing snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 32. North wind around 18 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Agreed-you want the axis of the PNA ridge to be over Idaho, not off the west coast

it was later than now-like Feb 24th or something like that.

That would be great since climo works against us by then for snowfall

mid march is typically when climo starts to work against us-so realistically we have 4 weeks to get another event or two

La Nina is usually great for NNE. Local mountains here did ok-snowmaking saved the day...

Yeah yesterday (ice) and today (wind) would be awful conditions.

Who under age 60 watches TV newscasts anymore? A dying entity...

would be wonky for commuters...LOL

I've often said that's the best solution.

Standard time would be unpopular due to earlier summer sunsets (7:30pm locally). DST would be unpopular due to late winter sunrises close to 9am in some places. So I agree with #3 or returning to #3 after 1 or 2 is tried for a year or two...

And given the winter pattern so far, I doubt March is a torch
