Looks like it's going to snow where it wants to snow.  For once, the systems are trending easterly/colder instead of the reverse.  If this storm holds serve, we may finally have enough snowpack for snowshoeing.

Only took 3 years, but seems like we are getting a more *typical* la Nina winter.

Agreed. Also have noticed, and discussed with hubs, that the seasons seem to have pushed a month back. April is more like March used to be, October more like September. Not sure what it means, or what the cause may be, just an observation.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

4 AM Update...

Made significant changes to Wed-Wed night period in collaboration with WPC & neighboring offices. Added a couple of inches to the SF totals. Main talking point will be the expected heavy snowfall rates Wed morning/early aftn. A well-coupled jet structure and pronounced intrusion of dry air yield a potential for high snowfall rates. SLRs will be close to climo or slightly more-dense (like 12:1 N, 8:1 S). The temps have also been nudged downward with snow slated to arrive before sunrise in the SW, spreading to the rest of the area during the morning hours. The most intense rates will prob be in the sunrise to Noon timeframe, perhaps slightly earlier for the Laurels and slightly later (early aftn) for the NE mtns & Poconos. A gradual but tiny rise in temps will occur, but mostly in the SE. The rest of the area will struggle to add 4-5F onto the morning numbers. Wind also looking like it will get gusty out of the SE on Wed, esp for the Laurels, as the main low tracks thru OH and along the axis of LE, switching to the SW as the occlusion arrives.

 

Prev...

Ridging at the surface and aloft should support fair weather Monday night/Tuesday over most of the region. However, warm advection preceding a moisture-starved shortwave over the Grt Lks could produce a bit of very light snow over the NW Mtns early Tuesday.

Another energetic southern stream system will lift NE to the Central Appalachians and Ohio River Valley by Wed Afternoon with a better organized western sfc low and potential for a Miller-B type of storm with snow or mixed precip at the onset, changing to rain across at least the SE zones and possibly most of the CWA later Wed. Prior to the changeover, there is a chance for some areas seeing 4 inches of snow, before changing to mainly rain later in the day.

How long before we start seeing "sun angle" comments? Best guess?

Starting February 39th, the Sun Angel eliminates 12 inches of snow an hour. It must snow 13 inches an hour or more for accumulation to take place.
