  1. Not many analog years for a second half February comeback. The only one that comes to mind is 1993. And even without the two big storms that season, we still managed about 35”.
  2. Folks are still optimistic about mid February based on the guidance. The 12z gfs even showed a little love at the end of the run.
  3. For that exact reason. It wasn’t an ideal track, but normally a late January storm like this provides something frozen. The gfs had this locked down 5 days ago.
  4. I know 20-21 is unrealistic to expect most years, but too often we’re like a mangy old dog rooting around a dumpster for scraps. SMH. Last night and today were kinda soul crushing.
  5. Yeah, the nam has been consistent in showing some back end pity snow. Would be nice to see the other models agree, but we’ll see.
  6. Still doing the research, but it seems the snowfall droughts are increasing. Yes, overall our average annual snowfall has increased these past 20+ years, however these past 10 years especially, we can go 15-20 days in between snowfalls 0.1" or more. In the past that number was never more than 8-10 days.
  7. Keeping the center of that 850 vort south of us might be too much to ask, however a more compact center could allow a quicker change over, and less dry slotting.
  8. Others on here are better at analysis, but I was reading in the mid Atlantic long range thread that in layman’s, the longer Canada torches, the longer it will take to reset back to a favorable pattern.
  9. Lol. Just saw that. Unfortunately in this instance the official records are taken north of the airport itself. The terminal probably had close to 4”, based on that band yesterday evening.
  10. Next weekend is really close to something, with the right placement and timing.
  11. Wow, that 576 corridor is getting crushed. Usually the best bands set up around the turnpike. Nice to see the south and west areas get in on the action.
  12. Haven't seen that Allegheny/Wash county band in awhile. It's been a semi consistent set up over the years.
  13. Regeneration showing up on radar. Models were indicating a possible second wind mid to late morning, after a brief lull.
  14. Great deep winter feel outside today. The wind chill was a bit brutal at times, but still better than the grey damp drizzle we’ve had most of the winter. A solid 2-4 region wide seems reasonable for Friday.
  15. Hopefully we can get efficient snow growth, to make up for the lack of qpf. As far as February, it’s always a fine line between blocking, and all out suppression. For us it’s always been the location, i.e. 2/5/10. It was like a see saw, where the blocking suppressed eastern pa, and popped a norlun trough west of the apps enhancing our precip.
