If it played out like that, which it wouldn’t, that would be actually highly annoying here with such bigger totals north. That was a great run of the GFS, though. So many chances. Storms also seem to be adjusting south a bit.

This type of setup favors north of here to max out on snowfall totals in the east.  If you get 25" of snow who cares that Boston (which averages significantly more snow) gets 40".

They won’t lol. Well maybe Ai. Euro won’t catch on yet probably. EPS has had plenty of members though with similar solutions. 

The Euro/AI are probably less impressive on the 11th event somewhat because they're flatter with the event that occurs before it on Sunday.  Its not the whole story but I think its a big part of why.  I still lean towards Sunday being more GFSish though I am concerned about the AI solution being where its at, its honestly not botched an event inside 72 yet this winter

@frd I think the trough ends up centered more in the east for the end of February. The issue is where you live no pattern makes it super likely to get a big snow. You know your climo. Even the best patterns fail more often than not. That’s true even here but especially on the coastal plain. I’d also bet more of your huge snows had more epo/pna help. Here that’s a cold dry look a -epo/ao/nao/+pna. But for you that’s probably more common for a big snow. But honestly not sure, what are the biggest snows for your area?  Do you get in on the coastal scrapers or the 95 storms more?   Or are you stuck in between where you get some from both?  

@psuhoffman my local area tends to do better in several scenarios. 

Intense and deep CAD where erosion of the airmass in minimal. Temps starts out in the lower 20's or teens before the snow arrives. 

Moderate events where by the time the dry slot arrives most of the snow has fallen already.   

Nino seasons with cold high pressure to my North or NW , active STJ, over-riding storms with a very cold pre airmass gives this area high end snow totals,  thinking 2003, 2009, 2010, to a degree 2016

Nina seasons with moderate to severe AO. 1996 

My area tends to do well with a moderate -AO  , and a moderate -NAO +PNA backdrop,  for huge snows the NAO and AO need to be pretty negative. 

I do not participate in snows that hit Rehoboth, De because I am too far inland.

I can benefit from severe Nor'easter Snowstorms if the low pressure area offshore stalls or does a loop. Thinking the late 1970's. 

I can do well with clippers if the clipper is robust. 

Overall I can score if temps cooperate in I-95 storms.    

I appreciate your posts and look forward to at least one lowlands SECS in the next 30 days. :snowman:

Lowlands SECS is the best!

I'd bet on the Euro being more realistic.   If so, we still win

Think euro is in catch up mode honestly. It was terrible with the storm last night into today. Showed all rain till like 3 days out then collapsed to colder solution and still never showed sleet even tough I got like 1/2” of sleet.
