I asked cranky to elaborate on something he mentioned in passing in relation to the 2015-16 super nino...interesting theory! Thoughts?

Bastardi has posted this theory before as has Ryan Maue although both have said we likely have come off it by now.  I know many speculate the 93-94 and 95-96 winters with fairly active storm tracks were a lag of the long duration 1990-1992 El Niño.  The background states of those two winters largely argued for them to be dry yet they were very active.  2010-11 may have been a lag of the 09-10 Niño as well

The best part of the GFS is that if you don’t like the OP just look to the FV3 which seems to be the snowier brother to the OP.  Wonky NCEP maps show precip getting to DC with 850s below 0.  Waiting on TT to see just how much...

Do you have a link to the ncep maps?

Looks like a swath of .1 qpf. Maybe a little more. Icon was decent except for temps ruining a good track. 2 global ops showing snow isn't bad for 5-6 days out

Truth. These types of deals are a more common way we get snow versus a perfect setup. Getting lucky with a fairly weak wave and marginal airmass would be a fitting way to score right now 

It really would.  We spent 10 days tracking the early December near miss and I had two flurries to show for it in a much less hostile setup.  This could ‘sneak’ up on us with a less than ideal setup, marginal air mass, and thread the needle precip situation.  Getting us primed for our 4 HECS starting Jan 15. ;)
