Dry air? 

The model is supposed to account for that within its algorithms but yes one would think it would take some moisture to moisten things up.   I am in NO WAY forecasting any of this just following along with the models.    My forecast for Thursday is 30% chance of light snow (or snow showers in Myra) with nothing more than a coating.    If you take the Euro AI literally it is forecasting up to 1/2" for you.

Yeah I know that was just making the point of it. It's a model discussion all is good.

MU: Some interesting takes in this, including his assertion of the continuation of a dry weather pattern:

Oh, and basically his "Winter Cancel" proclamation. 

Feb is above average for qpf at MDT right now.

Since I was looking at the stats,  

 

Last third of the month starting...

 

Feb Stats

MDT's has 1.91" of qpf while the norm is 1.55".

MDT's Mean Temp has been 32.3 while 32.1 is normal through yesterday.

Of the 17 days in the books, 9 have been AN and and 8 BN. 

 

Feb and Met Winter Snow

MDT is well BN with snow only having 3.3" while 6.1" is normal.   I believe that gives MDT 15.5" of snow for MET WINTER while normal would be 19.6".   MDT will probably need that Feb 27th/28th time period to work out to avoid a loss for Met winter.

For the record, I do not think winter is over. I'd be highly surprised if we don't see at least one "plows down" snowfall in the coming weeks. I don't know if that happens or not during met winter.

I concur.  In fact I think we get two more plowables.  I just did met winter because it was easy to list out.  I think there is a window open for a wet time 2/27 or 2/28...if it happens the question will be cold air.

PS-it is going to be so cold on Thur that even 1/2-1" of snow could cause havoc.

I just knew you were paying for his snow removal service tips.i see you get the inside scoop and those important start times by being a subscriber.

Nah, I am too cheap.  I just saw on the MA board that he "doubled down" on his forecast so I went to see what that meant.   He is forecasting a NAM comeback tonight!

Last night abc27 doubled down on the misinformation on the Thursday storm again. One of these time they will be totally wrong.
