I think my snowfall total on the season is 29.5", which is the biggest since 09/10.  I'm good with just a half inch more.  Let's go GFS.

What about 10-11? 13-14? 14-15?

Actually, I think maybe 13/14 was more, but not those other winters.  

Edit:  According to Rutgers, 14/15 was too.  lol  I don't remember that winter being over 30", but they say it was just barely.

41.90" on the season

Grade A winter obviously

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

50" on the season. A+ winter. We had it all but a major ice storm/fzra. But I am fine with that. Plenty of snow from Dec-March, epic cold, HECS.

And we are still tracking.

Solid A. Don't forget the extreme cold.

Seems too many years we chase our tails in the long range threads and get nothing to show for it. Outside of early Jan, did we ever have to look much more than a week out for winter fun?

49.4” here absolutely agree this is an A+ winter now. All timer even if we were to torch tomorrow.

12k NAM trend for Wednesday morning. Says most of SE PA picks up a c-2":

I will not turn my nose to a c-2" Wed AM followed by a 1-3" refresh Friday AM. Then we look to the March 2-3 window.

I would actually trade one of the upcoming nickel and dime events for another good cold shot. When it snows then hits the mid upper 30s w/sun it's a sloppy mess. Give me some low overcast skies w/highs in the low 20s after a nickel/dime event And throw in some winds and a lost random tumbleweed for good measure...

If you followed IMO a seasonal trend of storms trending south before back north next week looks pretty darn ok at the moment for a Snow to Ice to Rain scenario with the GS. Especially if it bumps south before coming back up north

The March 2-3 event now looks more like a cold shot, than a precipitation event.

[Ralph Wiggum]

March 2-3 window still looks interesting:

[ChescoWx]

Sunny with below normal temperatures today with highs struggling to top freezing in most spots. Still with the increasing strength of the late February sun, we should see more melting of our snowpack. It looks like a little light snow will cross the area overnight tonight and toward rush hour. Snow amounts look minor, but the timing could make for a slippery commute in spots. We will warm it into the mid 40's tomorrow. A little more snow or rain is possible on Thursday before we clear up for the weekend. Saturday may see temperatures near 50 degrees. We chill back down to start the new work week, and snow chances again look to increase by Monday.

I think the system ends up further south. We'll end up dry and cold. Even in the areas that get hit by the system won't see too much accumulation due to the March sun angle.
