We had a recent March, might have been 2017 or 2018 with 4 or 5 big storms in March. We got into a pattern where we got coastals every week, but that was definitely an anomaly. One of my all time favorite storms, March 2010 was a 5" rain maker, occurring a few weeks after the snowicane. 

It was March, 2018 and that was anomalous as hell. A record breaking, historic SSWE mid-February caused a SPV split and resulted in a severely negative NAO/AO that month. The massive blocking lasted into April

Yeah we'll have to see how much this extremely dry air hurts us. Latest HRRR still looks pretty good with a half inch to inch for a lot of the area. Euro still looks decent too. Hopefully we can pull off a nice little half inch to inch snowfall. You never know, it could be the last one this season. 

I think it's just going to be flurries for us

I bet we don't see one single flake.....how about that king euro....

I'll take that bet...we have model consensus on at least 1/2" for NYC Metro with some places getting 1"+ (and those places can't be predicted well for a mesoscale event like this one).  Models can be way off days in advance, but I doubt they're all wrong <8 hours from the start of an event, even a minor one.

February 20th and making a blanket statement  "may be the last one" with nothing too back it up with - amazing.....

I said you never know, it could be the last one. Which also means it might not be the last accumulating snow. I'm not claiming it's likely that it's the last one. Some years we get accumulating snow at the end of Feb or March, and some years we don't. I didn't exactly make a controversial statement, lol.

Do these models come with a margin of error? I'm serious, is it like 0.5-1 inch plus or minus 0.5 inch?
