I haven't seen snow piles this big in a long time! :D

This winter has had a nice wintry feel. '20-'21 had the big February and there were some good winters, bigger storms, in the late 2010s but this has been the most consistent winter with cold and snowcover, albeit not deep snowcover, in about a decade since my favorite winter '13-'14.

14-15 was a superior winter down here to 13-14 (too many mixed events)

@Bluewave @DonSutherland1 Seeing a lot of hype on Twitter about the MJO going into phase 1 at the tail end of this month and how that supports a very cold and snowy east. Am I missing something? Here is the composite for MJO phase 1/-ENSO/February: @EastonSN+ Yes, this is a La Niña (-ENSO)
 

It's not a slam dunk either way. Some of the lagged composites have some cold that gives way to milder conditions. There are MJO cases (amplitude 1.0 or above) that have gone both ways. With wave lengths shortening and the seasonal transition getting underway, I'd be especially cautious about making firm conclusions (warm or cold) this far out, especially as MJO forecast skill also drops off markedly beyond 10-14 days.

This may be the first winter in NYC with 20 days of 1” snowcover and no days of 4” snowcover if we can’t put together a 4”+ event before the season ends.

is it also the coldest winter with no 4 inch events?

If we do somehow get one major snowstorm just before the season ends 2008-09 will be a great analog for this winter.

It’s the lowest seasonal snowfall through 2-12 in over 30 years with an average temperature so far under 35.0°.

It's hard to tell if the UKMET would turn the corner, but I like where it's at for the end of the run. Big time threat there. Statistically we're probably looking at a hit 1 time in 5 here. A big hit maybe something like 1 in 8. Major snowstorms are uncommon and still more likely than not to miss even with favorable synoptic features in place.

The evolution of the elongating PV will determine the outcome.

Ensembles had over 30” for this week didn’t pan out that way

Ensembles had 11.5 for a Central Park and they ended up with 5.5 so far. The 360 hours from that ensemble run includes this coming up weekend so if Central Park gets another 2 inches will be at 7.5 which is not far from what the ensembles were showing of 11.5. 

So not that far off from the ensembles. 

The problem was a couple of op runs were insane.

You are aware that the GEFS is run every 6 hours right? And therefore the mean total snowfall at 10:1 also changes every 6 hours...

My point was the largest snowfall output on the ensembles was 11.5 for Central Park.

I believe the EPS and GEPS 10-day (240hr) mean total snow got into the 13-15" range for the metro for a few runs. Can't confirm the highest GEFS total for NYC, but some areas were over a foot for run total (384 hr).

Too much of a cold bias in our area for the EPS snow mean in early February as the mixing line usually verifies further north with gradient patterns.

In reality if Central Park gets 2 inches this weekend they will be at 7.5. that's not horrible compared to the ensemble. The gefs at 11.5 this has 12 but that's only a half inch difference. 

Nobody would have cared if it ended up at 15.5.

Still too high but better than some of the OP GFS runs.

I think it's smart to cut amounts in half.
