Looks like both Euro and Gfs came in warmer for Wednesday evening/ Thursday am . Only the Ukmet held serve and actually is a nice frozen event but it's on it own .
Of course they did. Every time we needed one more good trend it the exact opposite way

This should probably be the expectation given the Pacific is garbage and we have a raging +AO/NAO. That being said, we have the law of averages on our side, it's February, and the advertised pattern, while pretty awful, is not a complete shutout look.

Verbatim it looks like a very workable gradient pattern for the MA. Problem is it's in the LR and these decent looks tend to morph into something less favorable as we move closer to reality when we are stuck in an overall crap pattern.

Call me the eternal optimist but I could see how we could at least land a decent event between now and the middle of the month.  There’s cold nearby. Multiple waves. All it would take is for the boundary to be south of us for one wave. I know it’s unlikely given the trend this winter. I think we’re probably at the height of our skepticism so far this year. Which will make it all the better if we actually can land an event.

The window feb 6-14 has been highlighted for over 2 weeks now. It is still a period worth watching but the window isnt as wide open as it once was.

This is me just being a bright side guy, but the one thing I enjoy about dud winters is that I know we will make up for it at some point with a big winter. It's just the way things work around here. 

Some of our worst winters have come directly ahead of or behind some of our most historic winters. To be honest, sometimes I feel like we're still making up for the 2009/2010 LOL

How about a Nina next winter ........ 

Very unwise to talk about such things a year in advance, but I guess it is one option. 

Not even going to speculate about the implications, unless we get hit with mega clippers and Manitoba Maulers.      

Some mets are going with another Nino next winter, first I heard about a Nina. However, look at the model that is going in that the direction, the CFSv2, ha ha, that model has hardly any skill at all. It can not predict anything with even remote accuracy.  Even at the door step of a new month it crumbles in regards to temps.

More interesting to ponder this than look at the current AO progs.

I believe anything above a + 5 SD AO in Feb. has only happened five times since 1950 , this run may break +5 and even get close to + 6. 

There has never been a snowfall in Philly or Southward greater than 6 inches I believe in a regime such as this, at least according to Don S. in a recent update he posted. 

We all know that as the wave lengths shorten in late Feb we can get more significant snowfalls across the region,  but we have a month to go to get there.  

On a side note, just checked out some coastal SST and is is very warm along the Atlantic surf zone for this time of the year.  Some Feb periods have had readings of 35 to 36 degrees F., right now some locals are are at 46 to 49 degrees F. warmer further South.  Lack of continuous NW winds,  cold air masses,  plus less coastal storms might be the reasons.

GFS op runs have been pretty relentless in signaling a decent HL look starting around D7 and progressing.  Ens dont seem to be jumping completely on board yet but it is nice to finally see a HP in SE can locked in for more than 36 hours.  Fluke hunting....

No signs of meaningful changes in the HL on the ensembles. Our best shot at a more favorable pattern towards the end of the month probably still lies with some changes on the Pacific side- to get the ridge to migrate further east. Given the persistence there all winter, that's not much to hang onto either lol.

WB 12 EURO at Day 5 is a much different surface map compared to 0Z.  The intense Great Lakes low on 0z is replaced with a wave bringing snow to WV...ie much more like an overrunning event.  Not sure if we can get a miracle but forecast for the upcoming late week not set in stone yet...

 

Surface map very similar to the GFS now.
