It's like watching some poor sap in the Freddie movies trying to not fall asleep....we know how it ends. Agreed!! There have been lots of references to the 1960s. I'm going to refer to the 2010s, where we don't get March snows anymore. Hopefully, this one bucks the trend with the PV to the north and it stays south. The fact that there looks to be a -NAO in place should help in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 ^ I say -NAO...not sure it qualifies as a technical -NAO in terms of how the index is calculated. But the ridging in Greenland seems to be producing an effective -NAO of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro maps in 24 hour segments...it's fun, leaves more to the imagination, and low in stress......I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrwolf1972 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 GFS way to far north low goes across TN and NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgain13 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 18z GFS ever so slightly ticked south with the snow... amazing gradient... here in Danville about an inch, just north into lynchburg, over a foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I think this slides more south. Climo against this solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the opposite....i.e. very warm winter and 2nd week of March means everything better be just right for something to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a springtime surprise or a coffin nailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'll be back in North Carolina over spring break. It would be funny if it snows twice in the four weeks I spend in North Carolina this winter and zero times in the eleven weeks I spend in Oklahoma, considering both places average similar snowfall amounts. But it would be the first snow >1" after March 7 in the Triangle since 1983, so it's pretty unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Almost like the last winter storm we had here. Banana high, weaker and no -30C temps like the last winter storm, but you gotta work with what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthWake33 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yep, looks like 25-50 miles south. Another 50-75 would be ideal. Trends on GFS definitely positive last few runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel17 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Starting to pay attention to this one. If for no other reason than the start of spring break (and a planned trip to the mountains) that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshM Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Any see the rest of the Canadian, it's a 2 part event. Sunday is the snow, then Tuesday, a potential ice storm for the CAD areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshM Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 No one mentioned the euro. Nice south trend compared to 12z, 30s into North GA, 540s are around 0 C all the way to I-40. Has some IP all the way into NC Piedmont, toward the NC/SC state line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
