No chance in hell the Euro verifies 

Cold source is minimal. If there's a storm it will be more like the Icon and rain 

If the detail about the cold source being minimal is true, especially after the cold streak that just happened, then the winter is just about over. The beginning of March is going to really torch, and by the time we get below average temperatures again (if we even do), it will be too late for snow.

Most storms in any winter are supressed. cutters ect. If it wasn't NYC would have 100 inches of snow every winter.Reason February has been snowless is because of arctic high pressure over us.We were too cold..Still have the rest of February and March. I think this winter will have above normal snow in NYC. Many area's have already achieved it. Wouldn't lump this winter with the awful years of 2018-2025

Most storms since 2018-2019 have been cutters, huggers, and suppressed Southern Stream storm tracks. We have also had numerous hugger gradients where the low was south but the mixing line pushed into the I-78 to I-84 corridor due to lack of cold high pressure over New England and an amped Southeast Ridge.

January 2026 was our first 10”+ benchmark snowstorm from EWR to ISP and nearby suburbs since January 2022. 

From 2010 to 2018 we had a record number of benchmark 10”+ snowstorm tracks. During the 2002 to 2009 period we also had more benchmark storm tracks.

From 1993 there to 2001 we had a blend of storm tracks including the Miller A track east of the APPS which used to give Central and Eastern PA the record snows those years. That track has mostly been missing over the last 20 years.

The 1960s to 1980s featured more of a blend of storm tracks.

So there haven’t  been any years since the mid 90s that the coastal areas from EWR to ISP didn’t reach 25” without at least one major 10”+KU benchmark snowstorm. Prior to the mid 90s we had a wider variety of the storm tracks so we didn’t have to exclusively rely on 10”+ major benchmark snowstorm tracks to get to 25” from EWR to ISP.

Not where I wanna be this far out. Was a decent winter. If it happens it happens. Doubt it 

Even if we get a good track we have to deal with marginal cold at best. Of course we might finally get the storm but now the cold is gone.

I just see a repeat of my childhood. From 1970 to 1999 it seemed to always change to rain, suppressed, clippers etc. There is a reason CPK only had 4 above average snowfall seasons inb30 years. 1994 was extremely frustrating outside of a couple storms as it was colder than this year and we still repeatedly changed to ice and rain.

Hopefully the water temps being 31-35 degrees help out keeping things cool

Won’t matter if the mid-levels are toasty

we really need that northern stream involvement to help inject some cold air into the equation, or else you get what the 6z Euro shows which is a pounding rainstorm with a very, very small area of snow on the northernmost fringe

I guess I rather track something than a southern slider

36 / 24 - warmest day since 1/22 in store with 40 - low 40s for many.  Outside of tomorrow and storm track Sun (2/15), 9 or 10 of next 11-12  days may get to or exceed 40s as we enter a warmer period - but still hovering closer to normal more north and east as ridge builds into the eastern 2/3 of the country. Shot at exceeding 50 since January in the 2/17 - 2/20 period.  Euro/ GGEM / German have robust QPF /  rain -  mix ay 06z / snower 00z / GFS/UKMET misses.  2/15-2/16 period to watch otherwise mainly dry.   Beyond there in the 2/22 period looks to revert colder - below avg to close the month.
