Let's Talk Winter (Snow)...

While the topic of rain has been on everybody's mind the past few days and everybody, including me, is ready for spring, winter is still holding and want to provide us with more opportunities for snow. (I guess it didn't get the memo that Spring starts tomorrow.)

Today will be some possibility of back side snow with little to no accumulation. Friday will be a clipper shooting down Canada and it looks to be the one to drive Madison, WI over 100 inches of snow for the first time every in a season. It will dive across Chicago, along the Michiana border and then over and up through Cleveland and Buffalo. Doubtful will we see much snow from this event but some possible flurries could mix in Friday evening into Saturday maybe leaving an inch behind. Should the clipper move southeast in it's track then the heavier bands of 4 to 6 inches could be possible.

The Easter Sunday snow maker did fizzle out for our area. The middle Atlantic states are is heaven right now with talk of a huge Easter Sunday into Monday snow for them. The HPC put out this weather treat for them...

THIS GUIDANCE THREATENS A FOOT OF SNOW FROM NEAR
RICHMOND NORTHEASTWARD TO BOSTON...INCLUDING WASHINGTON
DC...PHILADELPHIA...AND NEW YORK CITY.

If that would verify, they would finally see a good snow maker this season. Places like Washington DC have been snow starved this season. I hope my online weather friend that lives in Washington DC gets her snow. She is a Howard County transplant and really would like to see some snow.

So what about us? The weather pattern seems to keep flopping back and forth between snow and severe weather for the next 15 days. Our biggest snow coming up looks to be on or near the last weekend of the month. This low track north of us which isn't our best set up but the precipitation amounts along with a negative tilt to the jet overhead with a combined closed low should make for a good 6 to 8 inch dumping of snow. There will be lot of weather in the next 10 days or so and lots of things could change so all we can do is watch and see if winter has one more snow in store for us. Maybe the snow hype machine can be fired up one last time.
