Coldest now appears to be around last few days of march into first ten days of April, a bit late in season for snow but not impossible. 

The marc19-21 window seems to be closing for now, could re-open, flow appears too flat to generate coastal low but 23-24 now opens up, so far GFS is inland but looks like snow for w PA and upstate NY.

Models that can't get 180 hours right in February will 100% be accurate at 306 and definitely snow on March 26.  LFG

As far as snow , models have about a 25% accuracy this winter.

when you and I started in early 2000’s they were about 70% accurate on snow calls.  Then they tried  to become more complicated and turn into microscopes rather than a broader based binoculars and since about 2011 they have been 50/50 with a recent decrease in that over last 3 years. 
They do great for wind events because they don’t start hyping it 2 weeks in advance in an attempt to accomplish what they can’t.  Winter weather models could try that approach

Yes, having a hobby with a singular desired outcome that you have no control over and is a rare occurrence is pretty sucky.

The 18z gfs provided a friendly reminder that it needs to be cold for it to snow.

Yeah good luck with the 'bring the precip and I will take my chances' mantra. That rarely works outside of the western highlands these days. Need a legit cold air mass in place, and sometimes a wave moving along a thermal boundary with Arctic air pressing can work.

March 1942 (Baltimore)... Temp anomaly was +2.8...Hit 76f on feast of St. Patrick.....22" of snow fell on 3/29/42. Same date also the lowest temp of the month at 33f. That's right, a 22" snowfall month in which the temp never fell to freezing.
