  1. I think we’re gonna get something Saturday but I also think we have a march moderate snow event that gets a lot of the sub (at least south of CTP) to near or above climo. 
     

    now I know this type of set up in an Niño is usually a culprit for some of our bigger winters, but given the struggles we’ve had, beating climber, would be an achievement

    Rgem not buying the Gulf opening as much as the Nam but still has that slp headed under us which would probably lead to a light snow if the moisture can hang on.

    I’d take 1-3” would get me within 1 moderate event of climo, at 20.25” for season to date

    I’m intrigued by it. The first northern branch system goes north of PA Thursday, reinforcing some decent cold to be in place for the Saturday wave and it will already be a good bit colder this week in the wake of today’s system. Despite it being much colder, the low track north of PA with Thursday’s system will drive a brief surge of warmer surface temps (upper 30s-low 40s) that would likely be mostly light rain at lower elevations prior to frontal passage. 

    Today’s system had a bit of a front running wave Sunday that might have had a hand in setting the boundary further south that the main wave ended up running on. So the Thurs wave evolution is going to have to be watched to see how it sets things up for Saturday, among other things like timing of both these features and  jet stream interaction. 

    I do like Saturday for a 1-3/2-4 type ordeal, I’d prefer a southern vort track over DC vs a low over PA

    Agreed on the temperatures. No doubt we are warming. If this event started maybe 2 to 3 degrees colder regionwide, this would have been a mess. Frederick, Baltimore, and Harford counties were running trees and transformer calls earlier. It doesn't take much with wet snow.

    Absolutely. Though temps weren’t our issue this morning. With this track though the area should do well. A transferring sub 985 low at OCMD has sometimes resulted in nice snows to the bay. If this wasn’t racing ENE so fast the area that did get nice snow would have had 10+

    60 hours ago we weren't slated to get anything. I will admit that it's been interesting to see us "close well" with events this winter. 

    Definitely “anomalous” by our standards to see 3 south trend storms in one winter. But the borderline stuff has been far too frequent. The deep winter week was pretty consistent for most on both storms. I’m up to 20.25” for the season which isn’t THAT bad. 2 more mod events I’d break climo

    I was living in York County, PA from 2014-2016 and commuting to Gaithersburg. That storm had an incredible gradient. Takoma Park only recorded 7" of snow, but Damascus up through Baltimore had almost 22" of snow. Big problems on I-83 and I-270.

    Yep that’s the one. Bigtime gradients. There are 2 this year already here. First week of January 6” here and rain in Westminster then 6.3” today and 1.5” maybe there, even 3.5” in Emmittsburg right?
