Watch this storm trend east this time around lol

Don't be surprised if this jumps around every run. It simply closed off in a better spot which slowed down the flow. It could completely cut off (Although Unlikely) and bury the mid-atlantic or end up hundreds of miles offshore next run.

Models blow at seeing that wedge in the SE, the CMC has a tendency for some reason to be good at seeing it at this range and oddly enough it's fairly suppressed relatively to what you'd expect the CMC to normally do on a system like this. The setup down there could ultimately dictate the early life of the system and if it more or less has its growth stunted because that high is stubborn to give in the system may end up weaker and strung out up this way

The EPS continues the extreme volatility theme this winter for the rest of February.

Record Arctic shot potential this weekend followed by a warm up and then a cool down

the last week of February. Rapid 500 mb changes have been the prime feature

this winter.

How warm you thinking? EPS showed 3-5F AN?

12Z NAM (still out of its most accurate range) shows the cold arctic air hanging tough which results in a significant front end snow in the metro - this is all beginning to make a lot of sense because a near record plunge of arctic HP is not going to just escape rapidly its going to leave behind cold enough air when the precip arrives overrunning it

I guess you forgot what happened last March. The analogs suggest a cold and stormy March.

What are you talking about? Once we got past the March 5th snowstorm, we flipped to a much warmer, and more spring like pattern. Sure we got some snow on the 20th, but around here we barely got anything notable. I expected much more with such a cold pattern we had last year.

 

By Feb 2010, a lot of people (not just here) were talking about how March would be cold and snowy, as based on the models, with the weeklies showing no end to winter in sight. Come March we practically flipped to spring.

 

It's February now (and in a much warmer year than 2015, if I might add), and already half the month has been filled with busts or snowstorms that turn to rain after a few hours (the 16th storm doesn't look very promising at all). I don't think March will hold much, if any, snow for us, aside from a freak snowstorm. Though I suppose early March could have some potential especially if we get a nor'easter type storm, with us on the frozen side, so that's something I guess.
