Then the gfs spits this out after I said that of course. Clown range here, but the interesting thing about this, the eps has a couple clusters that show something similar to this too. May be nothing, but worth a mention I think.

Morning thoughts…

Today will be mostly sunny and mild. High temperatures will reach the lower and middle 50s in most areas. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 54°

Newark: 55°

Philadelphia: 55°

Unseasonably mild weather will prevail through Friday.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 42.0°; 15-Year: 42.0°

Newark: 30-Year: 42.7°; 15-Year: 42.8°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 44.0°; 15-Year: 43.8°

The next 8 days are averaging       45degs.(39/54) or +9.

Month to date is       38.7[+4.2].          Should be         41.5[+6.4] by the 22nd.

Reached 58 here yesterday at 4pm.

Today:    50-53, wind nw. to w., p. sunny, 45 tomorrow AM.

Look for Funky Things to start happening around the 23rd.     OPs and ENSs going their own ways.       Good thing that this starts around the 23rd.---because we are moving at a record warm pace till then.

Is 0" till the 23rd.        But ENS says just a 60% chance of >1".

42*(47%RH) here at 6am.       41* at 7pm.     43* at 9am.      45* at 10am.      47* at 11am.      48* at Noon.        50* at 1:30pm.      51* at 2pm.       53* at 3pm.       Reached 55* at 4pm.         47* at 7pm.

First time -NAO showing up on GEFS

Clown range for now but models have also shown hints of the TPV pressing south in the mid range. 

PNA becomes less of a factor after mid Feb.

Since the 1990s, snowfall before the SSW has roughly been proportional to after.The best snowfall outcomes for NYC after the SSW already had 10.0” of snowfall before. This will be the first SSW with under 1” seasonal snowfall up to the date of the event. So the snowfall during SSW winters were a product of the greater background pattern.

Historical:

1895: The most significant snowfall in the history of Houston, Texas, occurred on the 14th and 15th. The Houston area saw 20 inches of snow. 

1899 - A great blizzard struck the eastern U.S. Washington D.C. received 20.5 inches of snow to bring their total snow depth to nearly three feet. The storm produced 36 inches of snow at Cape May NJ. (David Ludlum)

1940 - A "Saint Valentine's Day Blizzard" hit the northeastern U.S. Up to a foot and a half of snow blanketed southern New England, and whole gales accompanied the heavy snow stranding many in downtown Boston. (David Ludlum)

1982: A "meteorological bomb" exploded in the Atlantic southeast of Newfoundland. The term is used to describe a storm that rapidly intensifies. The intense cyclone off the Atlantic coast capsized a drilling rig killing 84 persons and sank a Soviet freighter resulting in 33 more deaths. The cyclone produced 80 mph winds that whipped the water into waves fifty feet high. The 80 mph winds and center of 972 mb is equal to a category 1 hurricane.

1987 - A powerful storm spawned severe thunderstorms in Texas and Oklahoma, and produced heavy snow in the Rocky Mountain Region. Snowfall totals in Colorado ranged up to 27 inches at Telluride. Straight line winds gusting to 104 mph howled through Guadalupe Pass in West Texas. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Strong northerly winds ushered arctic air into the north central U.S. Snow and high winds created blizzard conditions in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Winds gusted to 56 mph at Rapid City SD, and reached 65 mph at Cody WY. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - While "Valentine's Day" was a soggy one in the Ohio Valley and the Tennessee Valley, unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the southeastern U.S. Seventeen cities reported record high temperatures for the date as readings warmed into the 70s and 80s. (The National Weather Summary)

1990 - Valentine's Day was a snowy one for many parts of the western and central U.S. Five to ten inches of snow fell across Iowa, and 6 to 12 inches of snow blanketed northern Illinois, and strong northeasterly winds accompanied the heavy snow. Air traffic came to a halt during the evening at O'Hare Airport in Chicago, where 9.7 inches of snow was reported. More than 250 traffic accidents were reported around Des Moines IA during the evening rush hour. An icestorm glazed east central sections of Illinois, causing twelve million dollars damage in Champaign County alone. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

2004 - Dallas receives 3 inches of snow, wreaking havoc with Valentine's Day flower deliveries. The greatest snowfall since 1978 caused numerous traffic accidents, power outages and flight cancellations at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

In the end we could not beat out the triple dip la Nina. 

At least we know the next time it happens we are breaking records!

There was no other triple dip la nina that was anything like this.

The full snowfall record at JFK is alarming, 10 out of the last 35 winters have been under 10 inch snowfall.  A winter like this is far more likely than the HECS 50" winters we have been talking about, and ENSO doesn't matter.  Less than 10" snowfall winters are almost as likely as winters with 30" or more of snow.

13-14 could have done it a Newark with more snow in December and March. But 10-11 came closer. So just goes to show how tough it was been to challenge 95-96. During the snowfall peak from 2010-2015, stations to our north and south beat 95-96. So that may have been our last shot since winters have warmed so much since then.

Yes this is exactly where my head is at. The southern portions will continue to decrease YOY. Looks like next up for us is neutral. 

I think Don had a post a while back saying Philly and NYK snowfall has yet to be affected like DC and Baltimore. May take 10 to 20 years. 

I think as it progresses north it will slow, however I can see 20 to 30 years from now we are Philly as they say. Philly becomes the current DC. Etc.

I do take comfort that my sister in Raleigh continues to get snow events every few years. When that stops it will mean anomalous setups are failing to the south, which would be the next progression to watch.

inland areas even south of us will do better with snowfall than we will, especially with elevation

no philly is inland, in 20-30 years we're going to be more like ACY.

Probably 20, not even 30

Had to drop in to agree with you on that. The Niña system is still in full effect. Also, I’m not so sure the SSWE is going to be all that effective either. This event is nothing like 2018, it’s a displacement event, adding to the uncertainty and there’s destructive interference from the +QBO and -AAM, serving to delay and convolute everything. If there’s even any tropospheric response it may not happen until the 2nd week of March. This tweet chain does a great job of explaining what’s going on

at least it's dry and sunny and warm as opposed to the wet and mild we were getting in January

There are a few things here. While the ridge out West only dominated the 13-14 and 14-15 winters, it has frequently been a player during other times of the year since then. Think about all the record heat and drought out west. So it continues to be a player in the climate and not just a passing fad. 

The interesting thing about the record SE Ridge or WAR is that it first emerged during the 15-16 super El Niño. December 2015 was the strongest SE Ridge or WAR for a whole month leading to the +13.3 departure.  But since it was an El Niño, off course the SE Ridge eventually faded in January with the historic blizzard. This lingered into February. It has been a factor every winter since 15-16 through this one. Now this doesn’t mean that there won’t be intervals when it relaxes for a time. An El Niño would be an ideal time for this to happen. We just need the El Niño to be able to couple. The WPAC warm pool lead to the more Nina-like pattern during the attempted 18-19 El Niño. 

you can see the migration of the SE ridge over several years with the warmest air heading to northern NE and the change of tropical cyclone tracks over the last few years

I came up with it. It’s the standard deviation departure of the mean winter temperature from the historic average (period of record) - the standard deviation departure of snowfall to date from the historic average.

ah I thought it was the Winter Severity Index (WSI), it would be interesting to see winters ranked that way alongside this

The thing is, these studies getting thrown around showing the tropospheric response and NAM (AO) and NAO going negative aren’t going to happen until the 2nd or 3rd week of March if you follow the logic, given the date of this SSW. So to what avail does this actually help us if it takes until mid-late March? We will have a September/August sun angle overhead at that point and we will also be fighting climo and length of day

Thanks, 2013-14 was very similar to 1993-94 which is what I thought.

Had some amazing winters in the 2010s (40"+) but none of those matched 1995-96, 2002-03 or 1960-61, which were our three historic winters.

It goes with my intuition that 2017-18 was colder and snowier beforehand so the SSW just brought back the cold snowy pattern that had already happened earlier that winter.

And if that's the case, the only thing the SSW will do is make it a little colder, but also drier lol

The influence may just be enough to get NYC to 1” or more for the season.

10 of the last 35 winters have also had more than 40" of snow, so I'm not really sure what the concern is here. variance is increasing, but we're going to get our fair share of great winters. just going to have to take them with the crap ones

NYC has had 10 top 20 lowest snowfall seasons since the early 1990s when the variance become more extreme. But 7 of the top 10 snowiest over the same interval. The prerequisite for a top 10 snowiest in NYC is a colder than average winter. That’s why the last top 10 snowiest was back in 14-15. But NYC 2 biggest snowstorms in 2016 and 2006 were during warmer winters. So it’s easier to score one big snowfall in a warm winter than 50” or more for a seasonal total. The hostile Pacific since 18-19 has been more of a detriment to 30”+ snowfall than the warmer temperatures.

This winter would have sucked back in 1852. The hostile pac and southeast ridge working in tandem with unfavorable mjo was a death sentence.

you're more likely to get a ridge when the hemispheric cold pool is smaller
