February storm threat discussion

I'm from Michigan but I'm currently staying in the greater DC area for a fast week.

If anything the lack of a true winter was visible like mad while driving through Ohio and PA. At most an inch graced the northern side of the hills. I'm not going to lie I was wishful at the possibility of weekend winter storm rolling up the coast. Needless to say that it looks like I'm **** out of luck. FTW looks like a few flakes at some point this weekend with a powerful arctic front. As touristy as this seems I want a photo of the cheesy DC monuments with a ripping snow background.

FWIW...this sub forum is one of the best. I frequent here allot to check the discos for pattern hints. First post is a charm.

Overall the gfs isn't attractive verbatim but I like some of what I see. It really wants to hold a fairly decent hp right over greenland. There is some amplification too. It's probably worth watching the evolution of the energy coming out of the sw next week. doesn't look like it's going to close off as it exits the mountains and cut. imo- i see some potential for overruning as the energy slides by to our south. long way away but something to watch anyway.

it's a really strange setup....not very conducive to a big storm or any storm for that matter

As I said in my "PS", we haven't had many (any?) KU's with a +AO, +NAO and -PNA like the Euro is advertising at the same time. Doubt we've even had too many 4"+ events. I think Wes's chart has the details for DCA on that one. Map shows -4 - -6 850s, but I assume that means boundary layer temps are in the low 40s? Given our recent trends... Or precip doesn't even reach us.

Sorry ladies and gentlemen, but winter will be over after this minor cold front disturbance rolls through the Northern Va area. AO we can kiss goodbye and the NAO as they are both going to scream positive for a hot minute. By the time the AO/NAO will be in sync, spring will be here. I have lived in Virginia long enough to know that winter is done. If we get a real snowstorm then I will eat my words and apologize. Winter 2012-2013, I hope we all get paid back for the last 2 winters. 2 winters in a row with below avg snow.

irerotatt? And further, weroetaljfera? And what about ktoguaosfgoauteat? I was thinking aieothaognaoehtowhtn. But you may be right about tah'aewrthaweotaghaowet. Although, I'm not so sure because thaeworuoathaoiewta.

Thoughts? I'll get a drink and wait for your response.

Nobody mentioned the setup on the 6z GFS before awful truncation?

If there is a time range that something might have a chance it would be in the 180 to 216 hour range as that's when the ens mean doesn't look awful like it does by the end of the run when the epo goes strongly positive. The pattern basically again a bad one by 240 hours though the details on the models will be wrong so I guess there is always hope since they have been pretty bad lately. .
