Yeah I cant think of a single snowstorm that occurred after mid Feb.

I'm always ready for a debate on the futility of March snow. This list of snowfall totals from the last nine Marches tells the whole story: It was difficult enough BEFORE this...but since 2016? One year where we nickel and dimed our way to just over 6.

And I get slightly annoyed when folks bring up March 1993 as if a super rare generational storm is an example of how you can count on March snow if the rest of winter doesn't work out.

What if we went over a tipping point after March 2018 that makes snow that month next to unheard of? Similar XKCD:

Like nearly everything that occurs in the atmosphere, what causes a block is complex and there isnt a singe cause.

Google this- "what causes an atmospheric block"

I think it will help you get a better understanding.

Thanks CAPE.  Not germane to this thread but when Googling I came across a Wikipedia article on the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge which was our friend in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.  Of general interest so I link to it here.
