To this day I don't think 2010 was bad luck as much as it's just what ninas do with nor'easters...it's almost as if they meteorologically CAN'T form south enough due to the NS nina stuff...(unless you get anomalous blocking like 95/96). So if modeling shows a nor'easter during a nina...don't believe it, lol At least in the other ENSO states you MAY have a little more room!

Literally 6-12 hrs sooner on the 500mb closing off or 150 miles further west on the SLP track and we'd have been singing zippity dooda with that one. It was near miss that haunts us, but it was stupid close

That storm wasn’t a typical Nina miller b screw job. It was a miller A. Eastern NC and southeast VA got hit. It was a southern stream system. But it went through a weird late phase with the NS and the upper low closed off a little too late. 
 

If what you said above was 100% set in stone we might as well just give up. It does snow sometimes in a Nina. We have had decent coastal snowstorms in a Nina.  February last year was decent. March 18.  January 11.  March 09,  February 06, January 2000, March 99, 96!  It can happen and getting a pattern like Dec 2010 would increase the odds.

Not all ninos are good. Not all Nina’s are bad. If I had to bet I would go conservative. There are a lot of negative factors. But there is also a lot of chaos we can’t account for in this game.  I’m not sure how much enso is driving things lately. The more I learn the less I know.  While I’m pessimistic I’ve by no means given up on snow this winter.  It wouldn’t shock me if we get decent snowfall somehow.

All ninos aren't good...I just see them as less hostile. So like if, say we've got a 40% shot in other ensos...it's like 10% in ninas based on history alone and the lack of a SS. Now I wouldn't be surprised if the season total ends up at median or even average like 2018 did...because we've seen that. We can stack 2 inchers, lol But if Feb 06' or Jan 00' happens again (those were seriously ninas? Were they weak? Will look that up. Had no idea, lol)....at least it would break the drought!

There was some decent snow as close as my yard- I was in Baltimore that day for a family thing and drove home into the gradient, from next to nothing to light snow to moderate snow. Was a modest 5" event here but just a bit further east in DE it was 8-10". It was a really close miss for DCA-BWI.

2010-2011 was kind of meh, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

2013-2014 was honestly pretty great, even if I'm not a big fan of backloaded winters.

Expand  

2013-2014 was amazing. Most wall-to-wall winter I can remember experiencing. Very cold day after day and above average snowfall. 09-10 will always be king in snowfall but 13-14 was true deep winter and never really relented.

Probably my favorite winter ever and that includes the ones I had in SNE during my childhood. So much fun.

Yeah ninas are better for NYC north generally. In the winter of 2010-2011, the la nina was quite strong at -1.6 degrees Celsius. In 1995-1996 however, the La Niña only peaked at -1 degrees Celsius. In weaker ninas it seems like the pattern isn’t as hostile as stronger ones in the mid Atlantic, though still not as favorable as a nino for you guys.

Was living in New Salem, PA at the time and commuting to Gaithersburg for work. The winter of 13-14 killed my '99 Outback (stopped cranking at 4am despite a new battery, starter, and alternator) and was the only winter where it was so cold that work and home were basically the same temperature in the morning.

Could you imagine a winter with 09-10 level snow and 13-14 level temps? Truly would be epic.

My interpretation is that we feel a lot different going into the Winter vs the last few years, even last year. I think we have more legit -NAO shot this Winter, legitimately. +PNA now is going to swing back to crazy -PNA/+EPO for a lot of the Winter.

Nice +PNA today, but we don't need the PNA in November, we need -NAO and after today it goes away, for it looks like 2 weeks.

Oct -NAO, followed by Nov +NAO is followed by +NAO Winter 68% of the time (-58% Oct) (+62% Nov)

Anyway, I feel that +PNA this November will just weigh on potential energy to amplify Dec-Mar -PNA

I'll say it right now.. I don't like this movement away from -NAO in models over the last few days. It could be like 2018 if we don't hit it hard all the time, I think.Feels like 2018

I think the Hadley Cell's just a little north. You can get GOA low's/Aleutian Low's, but not moderate-deep +PNA's. I also wonder if this Winter will be +EPO.. I did a study that had Oct-Nov hurricanes int he Atlantic at 7,7,6,7,(+EPO) vs 2,3 opposite, and yet there have been 0 so far.

lol.. I was talking about how it's going to be 6th straight year of -PNA after Strong El Nino.. kind of presupposing future, I guess. It's a trend that started around 2000, that I really want to learn about.

That would be the lowest all time snowfall total for Davis, WV by at least 40 inches.  Extremely bold call there. Some of Tucker County is in the 10-20 inch zone.
