The period around the 26-28 is probably more likely for a fluke snow. Still highly unlikely but a lot of guidance is keeping a cutoff system under us and some has enough NS interaction to perhaps be cold enough if everything went perfect. 

Only 10 days away!  ;)

The FV3 is garbage. The only reason why I am mildly interested in this threat is because it is being hinted at a bit by the other models/ensembles. I will give this another 36 hours before I put this threat to rest or buy into it. 

Why do folks even put 5 % faith in that model, you do better playing power ball with odds. This model is so messed up it is delayed again. 

It is sad the state of American modeling. But, to be fair all, models fall out sometimes, verification-wise, but then rebound.

I don't even read about the FV3  and snowfall when I see it,  because I know it will never verify. The CMC is more likely to be correct than the FV3 :cry:

The fact it’s 10 days away is why it’s the “better” chance. Neither is likely to cause snow. But that setup being further away leaves more room for chaos so more chance something truly anomalous happens that guidance is missing. There are some hints on individual ensemble members. Like this...

Problem is, the FV3 is alone in showing this. Can’t get too excited unless better models get on board.

FV3 did this once before in December.  It is not handling the cutoff low over the Dakotas the same as other models.    The 12z run was a signifigant cave in at 48hrs, even though it still shows a storm, it's a run or 2 away from losing it.

12% of 12 UT EPS members give our area > 3" of snow/sleet from this hypothetical system; an increase from the 8% at 00 UT.   If this "trend" continues for a few more cycles perhaps showmethesnow will re-up his weathermodels subscription!

FV3, there's never been so large of a fail in one season. 

Certainly the performance of the FV3 has been the biggest disappointment this past winter season.  It is still scheduled to come on-line at the end of this month?  If yes, can they fix their wintry precipitation algorithm by next December?

It’s delayed until August now.

Seems like most GFS upgrades have been this way.   There is a minuscule increase in performance that is hyped as an Atari vs Xbox upgrade.  The FV3 is big a downgrade for predicting snowfall, it's worse than the NAM 48hrs out.

Looks like at worst the late week deal is a rainstorm for extreme eastern/NE portions of the region. Even that is a stretch at this point. It will be quite chilly and dry after that storm misses though. ( I am totally good with that).

Sorry y'all, winter is over. Tomorrow morning probably holds more promise of a few localized places seeing a bit of snow than the late week deal. If I didn't know any better, I might think my yard is a decent location for a coating to a half inch. But I do know better. This winter is a turd.

Find something else to live for. Tracking winter storms is extremely low yield around here. Not good to only live for that.

The March 27ish period actually has some possibility. It’s not likely. Maybe a 1/10 chance we see any frozen. But it’s not completely over unless you mean from a likely standpoint. I highly doubt we see anymore frozen but it’s not no chance yet.

Now the FV3 seems to be building heights ahead over new england too fast causing the northern stream to stall over the lakes.  This allows for the southern stream to get ahead of it and bomb.

Seems unlikely given that no other model is showing this.  UKMET and ICON have a low much further out to sea. GFS CMC and Euro have nothing, so this solution still seems like an error.

This has been a trademark of the FV3 all winter, show a storm when the other models don't. The FV3 gave me about 5 feet of digital snow this winter. With that said I will ride this out for another 30 hours before putting it to rest.

Got really close to something good for our region this run. Icon improved as well but not as close. I love coastal storms regardless of precip type

Careful what you wish for! (remember the movie Click?)  Imagine us actually getting decent tropical, Derecho redux...
There are some things using that skip button would be good for.  Holidays and traffic come to mind.
