I do think the deep South or the southeast are going to cash in on another snow storm. Epic year for the Delmarva and the south.

Maybe we will get it as the block is about to break down? When is that supposed to happen?

I think It might be our last snowfall for the winter…period. This winter has shown its cards. If we were meant to get a decent snowfall we would have gotten it by now or we would be actively tracking it by now. Last year and this year have been quite inactive across CONUS except for a few exceptions. Even 2023 (which was historically mild here) had record snow from west coast to Upper Midwest. Bismarck and Minneapolis had like 100” inches I think, an all time record. Great Lakes and Deep South have been winning, but past 2 years CONUS wide hasn’t been much. The flow is just too fast, until the northern stream slows down we’ll be left with shredders.

The trough will remain in the east through the first week of March, however like last time in January the trough is too far East.

Hopefully things look different tomorrow.

Go figure we finally get a winter where all 4 months may be below normal temps (at least three and maybe March) and the deep South and mid Atlantic reap the benefits.

If it goes like last time, I think we could still see one more minor storm like we did last time, but it would be under 4 inches just like all the others.

I mean it's not a BAD winter cause of multiple events to track and snow cover. Plus 1/3 of seasonal average so far.

Yes but it's a little sad watching white out conditions near the white house and knowing we won't get that here.  Back in the day storms that hit DC hard also hit us hard lol.

What strikes me as more interesting is the lack of snowfall over most of CONUS last season and this season. A fast northern stream provides the goods only for the far north of CONUS/Great Lakes and then when the cold air finally comes, it's the south that reaps the benefits. Is it better than 2024 winter and 2023 winter? Heck yes, because those winters barely even felt like winter because all the snow came in 1 week and there was barely any cold around except for maybe 2 arctic blasts each season. That being said, 10' for the season thus far is abysmal in NYC. Not as bad as 2024,2023,2020, and 2012. Those were torch years with like 1 moderate snow event each year. But with the warming climate, it's so hard to get a colder than average winter and the 1 year that we finally managed to do it, it barely accompanies any snow. It's incredible, but hopefully next winter is better. I know it sounds funny that it seems like I'm writing off the rest of this winter, but it's almost mid-Feb, and the pattern doesn't look too great for the rest of Feb (as in, it looks like more of the same that we've had all winter), except it will naturally become warmer as we head into March. The crux of winter is already behind us, with so little to show for it.

Wish I knew how to compress images. Dad sent a pic, he lives northwest of Lexington, VA and had 10” at 5:00; he’s over a foot now.

He has bested my largest storm total this season by 100%!

Next season?

I think we forget that we’ve been in dry spell for six months, if not longer.

This winter reminds me a lot of the 1970s and 1980s winters- cold but quite dry with a couple of exception years.

It's too early to give up on next week. Plenty of hope on ensembles still. Even Saturday could end up snowy.
