Cold is on the way out, and while a few ticks south may happen, I'd think it could trend into some frozen at onset, only to be scoured out. I wanna be wrong, but this setup in Mid March, doesnt work like it does in Jan/Feb. I'll give him props, and hes a good guy, but I sense he has a lot of room on that limb that hes standing on. IMO next shot is if we get the reload in the east after the next few cutters hit us. Its just been the theme, and w/ MJO headed towards COD, Im not sure other tellies are pronounced enough to get a big hit. PNA slightly + beyond 7-8 days and neut NAO, says coldish but no big trough in the east for something to dive in. Progressive is the flow. Yes...and like @daxx said yesterday to me our next legit and perhaps final chance is after 3/16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEPS and GEFS look similar beyond 300, but do diverge further out (although same base state w/ rigding out west and trough in the east. We all know not to throw too many of our chips into LR guidance, so the window looks to be there for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right, but I'm just setting realistic expectations in that the window may not be a large one. We sure can bootleg our way into snow and that's what I'm thinking will be how we score anymore events, unless someone sees something I don't. I think we need to wait until next weekend to see if the ridge W trough E look continues to hold or deepen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hopefully everybody is keeping realistic expectations. It will be mid March by then so no one should expect anything. I just think we have an opportunity to score something after mid month. Is it going to substantial? Not sure too far out in time. If Sunday was the last then on to next Winter.

If temps were not an issue I would be more gung ho in hoping moisture can be pushed up our way. We have done pretty with these clipper type systems this year. I also want to see Cashtown and at least one other, I think Carlisle, get to their goals :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always just wait to see how the winter plays out whether it's good or bad. Sunday's storm pushed a bunch of us around here over the 40" mark, so that was great. If I had any desires left for winter it would be the very, very unlikely probability of MDT having a third consecutive March with a 12"+ snowstorm. The funny thing is that I can barely remember anything about the big one from last year. Now I know my weather memory is beginning to go when I cannot remember a storm like that. Take me back to '78, '83, '93, '96 and I can give you all sorts of details about those storms still to this day. Edit>>I did have a goal. It was to reach 12" with the sum of all 3 storms. I came up 0.3" short. Oh so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Carlisle reached his. If any Friday event could delay a bit and show up mostly later in the day at least some would have a fresh white landscape to start the weekend.

I think personally i cant let go of what was to be an "easy" winter, and how much "work/luck" it took to get where we are. Feels like the last couple of winters down here have been "work" for me.

But you probably caught my comment from yesterday directed at Sauss that also implied our age over 40. I don't think Canderson is there yet and neither is Blizz, nor you. I have to warn you. The dues to join the club will be going up every day from now until the end of the month. You might not be able to afford them before the offer to join ends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LES continuing all season long off Lake Erie. That shuts off in late December or January in our good winter seasons....pressing cold.2. Feet upon feet upon feet of snow in California. Too much PAC..

That's so funny. Each year, on the first day of summer, I remind my wife that the only good thing about the day is that the days start getting shorter. Although, I must also say that I love autumn, probably a little more than winter as I get older and increasingly dislike the really cold stuff.
