Strong signal for warmth as we roll into the second week of March, showing up well on both the EPS and GEFS.

But looks to be very rainy.

I think we possibly get back into snow mode around the 12th or so as we come out of that warmth.

Ensembles look mostly warm through the period, maybe a brief shot of cold in between (say a weekend).  Can't say I'm disappointed.  I'll be the deb here, but I'm over the nickel-and-dime events by this point.  If it's going to snow anymore, it has to snow.

This is about as wall-to-wall winter as we're likely to get, though, so I'm fine with an earlier spring.  As it is, we look to finish with another below-average February snowfall - five in a row.  Last time that happened was 1998 to 2002.  Then February 2003 happened.

Could we see a similar result next year in a Nino?

I don't think there would be too many who disagree with you. Go big or go home.
