@psuhoffman I was wondering why i couldnt remember any KU's or even good storms between Feb 20 and March 1st. Lol..there hasnt been any

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Northeast_Snowfall_Impact_Scale_winter_storms

 

Here is the list i found

February 22–28, 1969

February 22–23, 1987 (Lame ass)

February 25–27, 2010(that didnt impact us)

 

the Feb 2015 storm didnt even make that list....

 

my guess is that usually that week is drained since the week before then is really snow typically

 

 

 

Well obviously we're due then!!!

The top day 10-15 analog from last nights eps was a few days before the 1962 Ashe Wednesday blizzard.  Feb 58 and 87 in there too. Some better analogs starting to pop up.

I KNEW IT!!!! See, this is why I want to see something around President's day--because I do NOT trust the history for after the 20th-March 1st. I don't believe in "we're due" as far as that's concerned, lol (thanks for researching that, @Ji!)

An event similiar to the Ash Wednesday storm would in today's dollars would be mind boggling

Chill out..there were big storms in that period. Ji dismisses the 12-18” storm in late Feb 1987 for some reason.  We just had a 6-10” snow late Feb in 2015. We had a 6” snow late February 2005.  Ji is making a big deal of a minor statistical anomaly.

feb 87 was on my list but its a storm that you hate....it was gone before you could find your shovel. The feb 2005 was the worst noreaster of all time....worst qpf for that kind of Low. Feb 2015 was good but very localized

According to local coop here there was snowcover for 3 days. Went from 16” otg the day of storm to 8” to 3” then gone. Not great but gone in 3 days is better than gone in 3 hours.

I’m sorry our late February snows haven’t lived up to your specific storm criteria.

Wow huge shift in the storm for next weekend on gfs. Went from a cutter to a super mega cutter. Snow shifted from Chicago NW to Minneapolis NW. 

Maybe if it keeps trending that way for the next 30 runs it can swing all the way around and hit us from the east!!!

The pattern changing HM super Blizzard.   After that the HECS

So one 12-18 inch late February storm in the last 60 years? Forgive me if I don't like those odds...was really hoping for PD, but...might not be meant to be (I mean, there is minimal chance with that now, right?) Would love to be surprised at late February, though. But historically, doesn't appear to be favorable...but I'll gladly be wrong!

Maybe a couple of cutters.  Then it should get really good. 

Like January all over. The first cutter should setup the second cutter which will dip the baroclinic zone for the wave that goes south but sets the stage for the catalyst system which we have to get the rain before we get to the rainbow after that oh wait its St Patty's Day where did winter go?  Fingers crossed we dont have a repeat scenario this month. Feb 20+ ftmfw!!

You are a pillar of optimism.  I wish I could be but I just have a bad feeling like Hurley did in Lost.  We know what happened there.

I did too (maybe it was because of history, lol)...really felt like something might pop there.

Well next fri-sat storm was the catalyst for reinforcing the 50/50 and helping to build blocking in NAO region so yeah......gulp. But there is a signal for something later next weekend into early the following week but hey....one day at a time right?

True...maybe we can get it on PD or the day after (hopefully!) I did notice that wonderful red over Greenland the 18z showed around that time, so who knows? :D

So we had been ticking closer....11 days....then 10.....then we were within 9 days....and yesterday day 8. But we pushed things back to day 10+ is where we're at again? 

One of those is counting down to pattern change and one is counting down to a legitimate threat
