Long range on the ensembles all show a progression to a colder pattern. The PNA does not go positive through the 15 day period. HOWEVER, the RNA does go above -1 SD on the charts (on the ensembles represented as a trough that does not go into the Baja and therefore a SE ridge that is muted into the gulf states).

The main difference of the ensemble suites is the GEFS gives us a brief window around the 6th before the 10th while the EPS is rather warm until the 10th

Summary - still on track for the 10th +, - a couple days for our window.

This is how I see the next month playing out 

Some snow showers and maybe light accumulations on the 25th aka tomorrow. 

Storm potential March 3/4 followed by brief warmup (could be very warm for 1-2 days) and then an extended cool period starting near the 10th as heights build in the arctic and strong RNA pattern breaks down. 

That could last til the end of March and into April. Beyond March 3/4 there's probably another snow window or two in the March 10-25 time frame. 

After that climo is very much against us even if anomalies stay cold.

How large is this window?  March 10 - April 10 ?

We probably get something to avoid record low snowfall imo

We are not New England. Post 3/15 becomes very difficult to sustain cold and snow at this latitude minus freak, anomalous events. Climo, sun angle and length of day are all working against you big time by then. By the end of March, you have an August sun overhead

Actually you have a late September sun by the end of March seeing as the first day of spring is March 20 which would correspond with September 23, the first day of fall. But semantics.

And while we are all talking about sun angle, I guess it never snows in Arizona, Mexico, etc because the sun angle there is so much more intense. All that Utah, Colorado snow is just a fable since you need sunscreen this time of year to avoid burning. Must be skiing on ash and not powder. /s

to be fair elevation neutralizes that and sun angle affects urban areas MUCH more

With shortening wavelengths I largely believe such a scenario like that which we saw in December will have a very hard time repeating itself in March

Agreed. Also if that second wave was a little weaker in December instead of historically intense, the 3rd wave had a chance to give us a real good event.

We were due to strike out in a decent pattern with the way the 2000s have worked in our favor.

there was a reason it was historically intense.

also December isn't really a snow month around here
