In hindsight, it looks like the Euro-AI model scored a significant modeling coup, as it never showed a major (8" or more - my definition) snowstorm for our area, unlike almost every other global model all of which showed at least a few runs with major snowfall. The Euro-AI had most runs in days 4-7 showing a minor to moderate hit with one run on Sat 12Z with significant (4-8", again, my definition) snowfall, but not major. Out of the rest of the models, the GFS was close to the Euro-AI, only showing one major snowfall run, also on 12Z Sat. The Euro, UK and CMC all had multiple major snowfall runs for our region in that timeframe (including some historic runs).  So still a significant failure for the AIFS/GFS but an epic failure for the Euro/UK/CMC.  IMO. 

GFS was in a league of its own (along with EAI), never showing a blockbuster storm, and the flattest by a wide margin over all others through the entire period.

My biggest storm ever here 35 inches, Danbury CT 30 miles due east of me I think ended up with about 10 inches becuase of all the rain they started with.

That was the wildest storm ever and led to a period of major flooding in March because of the runoff in NNJ.

Euro has the storm down around South Carolina now, with no snow north of SE VA. I get people being hopeful for a trend, but it’s time to give it up. 

Plug has been pulled. It lived a great but short life of maybe 2-3 model runs where ensembles showed a decent shot and we had MECS operational runs. Its nickname-“Buckle up” will always cause awkward laughter and shame. The KU book booted it right out faster than the kicker diving in on it.

the good news in the end is that it won't even be close for here...the worst ones are 2/6/10 or ones that JUST miss offshore.

It is what it is. Still had a cold winter with snow here and there. Pensacola and the outer banks don’t get snow often. Freak pattern 

Florida had a larger storm than we did. Max event here for me was 5”. Florida had 10”…unacceptable

As promised.... If it didn't come back by 12z today, I'd lead the charge off the cliff.   Adios, storm.   Bring on spring.  Work boats will be dropped back into the water slowly beginning next week, as seasonal maintenance is done.   Personal boats will be in by the ides of March.  

 

Goodbye underarmor, winter coats, gloves, and scotch. 

 

Hello shorts, flip flops, beautiful scenery, and beer.

 

Maybe next year

Mike Mascoe has jumped the gun many times in the past so the fact that he was reluctant to jump on this one just means he's learning to take a conservative approach, which is smart. Doesn't mean he won't post rumors of big storms to get clicks like everybody else, but those who take a conservative approach in this form look the best at the end.

I’d be thrilled if this was the case but looks like we have at least another week of cold temps

Im patient.  What i would like to avoid is late winter/early spring coastals with rain.   Good for nothing in my life.  I'm a hige fan of drought conditions during my work season.

All I know is If the models were showing a big storm tonight, I would be worried every minute of the day on Monday, Tuesday, even Wednesday that the models would do a wicked change. Since we don't have a big storm on the model tonight, why can't it still have a wicked change for the better?

Because , for whatever reason I do not know, it RARELY changes for the better these days when it comes to snow

Amazing what two days will do. I was projected over 30 inches, and I'm 50 miles north of the city,  by the same model and two days later the Delmarva may not see flurries. It's actually hysterical that it's that bad. 

Mike Masco knew tho
