The posters in this forum that live on the immediate coast have been awfully spoiled for the last roughly 15 years. For many of the last few major events, it was snow for pretty much everyone and the further East you lived, the better off you were, so much that the interior has gotten the shaft. That's not the norm. There is a reason why long term climo favors inland areas over the coastal plain. 

 

And this isn't a biased post. I consider where I live to be part of the coastal plain. On the edge of it, but part of the coast nevertheless.

-7SD AO

-4SD NAO forecast at the time .Don wrote a great piece at the time that showed how those anomalies compared to other periods with the same set up .

It has backed off , but at the time anomalous blocking had shown up on the ensembles for several days.

It's still a good pattern and it's there In the means over the next 10 to 15 days.

Everyone here knows there are no guarantees.

When people see a 7SD anomaly forecast for ANYTHING, let alone the AO, they should treat it with incredible suspicion unless it has widespread and sustained confirmation on virtually all modeling.  Don can probably clarify the math, but 7SD means the probability of such an outcome is approximately 1.3x10^-12, which means essentially that it is 0.

The primary low is too strong and gets too far north before transfering. Everything still looks like crap as of now.

It looks less like crap though than last night (which was acid diarrhea) if confluence is stronger and the primary is further SE (plus an earlier and quick transfer obviously)it can certainly give our NW members some snow. As for coastal areas, we're kind of running out of time for significant enough changes to give us snow.
