00 UT EPS mean snow fall for College Park over the next 15 days is 1", likely an inch below climatology.   To put it another way, the EPS "predicts" that 4% of a predicted 2.3" of precipitation during the next 15 days will be snow/sleet.  Pathetic but if forced to put down money I'd take the ... 

The EPS mean (median) snow/sleet for the  February 28 storm is 0.1 (0.0)"   

The same values for the March 3/4 storm are 0.4 (0.0)". 

One ensemble member shows a HECS March 10-12.  The 18+" from that storm is the main contributor to the 1" mean.  Could be fun.

Lol at the extreme synoptic differences between the gfs and para and cmc after day 4. Just for posterity... the cmc and the 00z ec are very close synoptically with the para in that camp as well. What’s 30 degrees and a couple inches of qpf between friends anyway. CMC with a completely different solution as well bringing cold and snow showers next weekend.

Wow, that latest GFS run is a doozy. Three days of rain with a total amount around 6-9 inches, that would be some flooding rain.

The slow movement is on par with march 2010. It takes over 3 days to get across the eastern half of the US

By the way, if we get a -PNA in April, that will be a big time sign for next Dec-Feb (for -PNA). 

So  what you’re basically saying is anytime there’s a negative PNA in the month of April there’s a good chance that it’s gonna be Negative for the months of December January February
