Didn’t 89 have a Big Mid Atlantic storm??

it was a weird storm-gave ACY something like 15 inches but 20 miles inland was nothing.    I was living outside of philly at the time and forecasts were 6-12 and we didn't see a flake.   It was around 2/20/89 or something like that.   Not much else other than that-it was colder though once we got to to Feb 89.    Dec 88-Jan 89 were infernos with little to no snow.

At this point I would say just bring on spring but I already know it'll be another lousy one. 

I can already see the NAO/AO tanking as we flip to March. 

I agree that we are past the point where winter will be saved by some epic 2015/2005 type run. I say this because I just don’t see those cards lining up for us. That being said, we will get a storm eventually. Probably sometime in February

Late this month still looks good.

3 of the last 5 Marches have featured above normal snows here.  If you go back to pre-2010, snow was scarce in March but more plentiful in December-interesting how there's certain patterns over a period of time.

march snow does not excite me with high sun angle will have hard time sticking in daytime...

For an asteroid. 

What do you think?

Why are you ignoring the signs of a better pattern and also ignoring Allsnow and PB?

been hearing about a great pattern for 2 years...not much to show for it.   Like Allsnow said above the chances for an 05 or 15 recovery are slim.     Hopefully we can get a snowstorm or two...I'd be happy with that at this point.  Anything more than that would be a huge win.

We will have opportunities  coming up the next few weeks. The reshuffling was on the ensembles for the 26th but the signal is bit stronger now. 
 

By just reading this thread you would think next week La Niña is coming and we will torch again. 
We still have ridging our west with a split flow along with a northwest flow from Canada. The cutters are gone after Saturday but most people won’t acknowledge that because it means little for their backyard. 
 

Agree with @bluewave, the +amm is probably hurting the -epo and the scandy ridging is fading. Which it return is allowing higher hgts in central Canada. It’s still not a bad look and trust me if it looked like trash I would acknowledge it.

with no ATL blocking, I would not say cutters are gone-even with cold highs, there's the risk a storm slips b/w highs and goes to the lakes.   Agree it's a better pattern, but can't agree that it's a good or great pattern.

But now we have blocking in central Canada. We don’t need a -nao to snow in nyc. We had that for the first half of December and got squat. 
 

And yes we can get cutters in any winter. January 2014 had them even during our good periods. But with this look I would favor a costal track over a cutter to Detroit. You have been around long enough to know we don’t need a great pattern in January to snow.

Yea, it’s pretty clear at this point that 2/15 or 2/05 isn’t on the way, there isn’t even so much as a hint of that and you would be able to see it by now

You may be right but February runs 2-6 weeks from now --- we all know any outcome is still on the table regardless on what is currently depicted.

Well those years are historic for a reason. We can’t see into February until next week, most likely why we don’t have any hints currently :thumbsup:

All I’m saying is the pattern going forward isn’t last weekend. We will have chances with cold air around. The nino esque look has me hopeful for a typical cold snowy February.

Why does every storm or cold spell have to be memorable?? Thank God most of you were not around in the 70’s or 80’s. You all would be a sorry, miserable bunch if you were 

I was around for the 80's (and the 90's which were mostly horrid but not as horrid as the 80's) lol.  not everything needs to be memorable, but some were tossing around "78 and '15 for analogs...
