He's right though. Weather is weather and no matter how much someone doesn't like what's going on, it's going to turn out how it is. We witnessed a superstorm and a snowstorm within two weeks. Followed by several high winds and light snows. We even got the coldest weather we've seen in two years. Besides not having alot of snow, I'd still consider this winter pretty active, and the past 4-6 months have been amazing

Even if February ends up above normal temperature wise and I think it will albeit slightly despite the cold start, it's clearly going to get more active. The southern stream actually starts coming to life in the long range and although we'll likely have warm and rain at times, the cold air will still be around from time to time increasing the temperature gradient and leading to more stormy conditions. 

 

The pacific doesn't look bad and although we may never see a true Greenland block, we could still some sort of blocking that will aid in slowing down the storm and blowing it up. The long range gfs shows both the warmth and rain and the cold and snow as a trough eventually gets carved in the east again.

 

At this point all I'm looking at is a stormy pattern to set up with an active southern stream because then you the chance at a real snow event even if you alternate with warm and rain periods. No matter what anyone says about winter being supposedly over, it's still February (far from over) and anything is possible.

Here's how to be happy:

 

Expect a coating.

 

If you get it, you're satisfied.

 

If you get more, you're ecstatic.

 

See how easy that was? ;)

To go from 2010 to nothing has been tough. It's rather upsetting that at this point an inch of snow would be shocking.

 

It's funny how fast we become spoiled. I absolutely hate having two straight seasons of practically no snow, but considering how amazing the 2010 season was, I feel as though that makes up for 2-3 straight years of crap we have had.

To be fair we are at 147 percent of our average snowfall to date, just seems so bad because almost half of that came in November.

Serious question here. Given the unpredictability of Norlun formation, how useful are model progs of such things?
