Yeah, bolstered obviously by 4 historic years in there. Median over that period is 19.5”. Both are higher than the “true” long term mean/median by some amount. I’d guess my true median is pretty close to last year and this year, 16-17”.
The ensembles really keep thinking we’ll get into a -EPO gradient pattern eventually!! Been advertising it for weeks now and perpetually been D10+ away. What I do takeaway is increasing confidence that Canada will NOT be entirely flushed with Pac air, so hopefully we can tap a solid airmass again at some point after 2/25.
Damn. Some spots in PA pushing 8”! Meso models definitely keyed in on a fairly narrow but potent jackpot zone, but it was farther NW in reality than any of the guidance.
I doubt we get a week+ favorable period for the rest of the snow season. I’d expect anymore snow chances will be a well-timed wave with a transient cold airmass and N/W will likely be heavily favored over the coastal plain. But it’s certainly possible we get another event or two.
