Adam Joseph from abc6. Just posted a blog going over the possibilities.  One thing he said which I didnt understand.  He said the 12z nam from earlier today is showing mainly a rain even for whole philly region ending as a little snow.  What am i missing. It wasn’t showing that?

Fake News that's what

Glad the N trend stopped yesterday finally. The jump S overnight did give us more wiggle room. These jumps at this range are all too common when energy comes into better sampling areas and onshore out West. We almost expectedly see big changes in one run of guidance once this happens which *usually* is an overcorrection then things tick one way or another thru zero hour. The only thing Im not a huge fan of is the fropa look some guidance moved towards. Hopefully that isnt a trend towards a final outcome. Expect 12z and especially 18z-0z to start ticking N again after this overcorrection phase passes. Wouldnt be impossible but extremely anomalous to miss out on a baro wave with overunning snowfall to suppression this time of year.....that is as long as it remains a wave and doesnt morph into a fropa like I mentioned.

The trend towards this being a front passage and nothing more at this stage is not good especially with every short range model at 6z having that look. We don't need a north trend but a trend towards an entirely different evolution which is just incredibly unlikely at this range. If that trend continues at 12z it's game over...

True but current trends are not good. For this to work out I would think the south trend would need to stop now.

Didnt you make a post a mere 12 hours or so ago that the NAM was a horrible look with its trends N and showing rain for your area and you asked if it was too late to throw in the towel?

I did yes but that was when most models were North. Yes your correct things could trend back North but less likely now as lead time shortens.

Well, it isnt over just yet and like I suggested, this may be the usual hiccup/overcorrection we almost always see. We will know by 18z if it is indeed an actual trend or not.

looks like we have consensus. actually a pretty fitting end to winter if this is indeed the last snow threat this year. models being seemingly locked into a solution in the day 4-6 range only for it to change drastically once the players are on the field. this looks nothing more than a cold front at this point now, oh well. it was pretty amazing that most guidance has been together including on shifts...went from all of the models showing at least a decent wave riding the front giving some snow for all and a solid chance at 6"+ for some to all of the models showing a frontal passage with mood flakes for most and nobody seeing anything more than car topper in 24 hours. That's a pretty dramatic shift 72 hours out not just track wise but complete storm evolution. Crazy that not one single model picked up on this until 18z yesterday. Most were worried about a trend north at 12z yesterday.

Didnt trend N or S so we were all fooled. Transformed/morphed from a baro wave to a fropa with the snap of a finger. The April 21 system on the 12z GFS will rock!

Fairly awful bottom falling out event for the MA crew what a winter there we have been extremely lucky by comparison.
I have 60" snow in a season loaded with busts lol
 
 
 
I need less than a half inch to surpass 60" for the season......thought Saturday was a lock. Maybe tomorrow morning or even next week can surprise produce lol.

Dont look at the LR GFS ha!

yep, I thought signs of warmth that were showing up in the LR earlier in the week were fools gold. I don't think this pattern goes away that easily. We may have another pattern relaxation before the trough reloads over the east but I full expect us not to be out of the woods yet for cold/snow threats even if they are white rain events by that point.

This could be the rare year we record at least a tr in early May. I seriously wouldnt be surprised. Neg NAO and neg AO coming back with a vengeance on some LR guidance. Just silly stuff really.

If only this pattern would have started in Jan not March one can only imagine what this winter could have been

Please miss.

No offense to the snow lovers on here, but starting the 2nd weekend in March every year I am in full Little League baseball mode (coach and director of facilities) and this has been the worse spring in a while.

You may have gotten your wish, but I was going to suggest sliding practice. Our high school baseball coach had us do that in 2" of wet snow one March, lol.

This being more of a frontal boundary, I am not so sure about a shift north. But it's been a good winter. Spring can come as long as we don't go right into summer temps.

Expectations reset pretty low for this one, and yes the last month has been a great way to wind down winter. The thing is if it ain't gonna snow in April I'm more in the mood for sunny and 60F. Looks like we may need to be patient for any more than brief shots at 60 for the next week or two though.
