anymore chances? 

Around St Paddys day actually looks cold with a trough in the east...but obviously its way too far out to get into details.  But that isn't too late obviously given the recent results if something does come along.  GFS/FV3 has been teasing that time period with op runs from time to time.  Actually FV3 has had a big storm somewhere in there like 3 of the last 6 runs I think...which is pretty good for fantasy land.

FV3 shows possible snow on Friday.  GFS has it but weaker and warmer.  Euro doesn’t have it at all.  

Beyond that is anybody’s guess.  It may stay cold but many of us are running out of time.  

EDIT: Forgot to mention the HECS at hour 366 on the FV3.  Stock up for that one.  

The FV3 shows snow? Oh look, the sun rose in the east!

At some point I stop rooting for troughs in the east and blocking because it just results in cold rain.  Mid-March is pretty much the tipping point for me in that regard.  You northern tier folk can probably hang on another couple of weeks beyond that.

I'd be down with St. Pat's II this year (on the 5th anniversary of the original in 2014)!!  But won't hold my breath, of course.

March 42  was similar. Bridging in the southeast is still to strong for a redox though.

That storm was an inverted trough that probably got enhanced by the added baroclinicity that time of year. That was the biggest fluke ever. I doubt even today if it’s something that would show up good at any kind of lead time.

EPS mean snowfall over the next 15 days for College Park is 0.7" - time to close up shop or should we hope for a mid- to late-March fluke? 
Scrrew the mean. Its about getting one final event during the final cold window

Dosent eps have an eastern trough March 17. I got 6 inches last year around March 20th

I did too. Different year. This winter we managed to rain with temps in the low 30s in Jan and Feb. A trough in late March is most likely temps in the 40s and 50s. Better be a historic storm lol.

I’ve had 19” of snow in the 3 weeks since DT cancelled winter for the whole east coast. He should do that more often!!!

How are you doing with your seasonal totals?  Are you going to creep your way to the median?
