I think there was a major controversy at BWI for that storm. They were clearing every hour or something like that. Same thing happened at BOS too…BOS real total was prob more like 23” instead of the “record” 27.6”.

Yea, 1978 is still king...those were all total depth measurements, too.

Bwi reported 28.2" over a 4 day period.  The controversy was whether it was correct to report as one storm the snow that fell Friday night thru and including Monday as there 2 lulls. I remember getting into an argument with somebody on Usenet (I think) from NE who called me a liar when I  gave the total. He was around 20 and he said BWI can't get much snow ever because he just figured our 9" in 00/01 and 4" in 01/02 was climo. Young punk! Lol

seems like the pattern change is coming, just a matter of strength and duration. with the SPV getting obliterated and immediately coupling with the TPV, I would expect blocking to continue into early March

The Atlantic blocking has been getting stronger as we go deeper into February on ensembles. I just hope the PAC doesn’t go hostile after 10 days…even if it just goes to neutral after 10 days, a strong -AO would work fine (ala Feb 2021)…but hopefully both remain favorable for longer.

Blocking sure, cold?  Doubtful with the PAC, I can see cold locking on the other side of the pole if you consider that a win

You can keep the -NAO ... 

... GEP's idea on that would be a storm destructive/compression hell.

I doubt it, we'd probably see the waveguide retrograde a bit into late Feb and March. shorter wavelengths also make it less likely to see a Pacific inundation. the MJO is moving into 8 and 1 and is generally a weak influence, so I also don't see any stupid MJO-induced jet extensions on the way
