An Unsettled Pattern, No Snow

Has anyone been following the brutal string of Nor'Easter's they're getting on the east coast? For a relatively mundane Dec-Feb, they sure did crank it up for our transition month.

Nothing like that for us here in Ohio, all though we have gone a little cooler than normal. Last week's big coastal storm dug out an impressive trough over the eastern US, and today's transitioning low just reinforced that. So while we did see mild temperatures today, I think we could go quite a few days before we see anything like the upper 50s again. In fact, the Euro is hinting at lows in the teens about nine days out!

Now, who here believes anything any model says nine days out? Me either, but hey, it's suggesting we'll be in a cold air regime for the next 7-10 days. The unfortunate part about that is even with the cold weather, any snow chances seem pretty minimal.

While we could see some snow showers here and there Wednesday and Thursday, there's almost no chance that'll stick on anything other than grass. If we're really grasping at straws here, our next outside chance could come from a storm Sunday or Monday. This has the potential to be the east coast's next big storm. If it flattens out like recent model runs suggest, it may miss us and the east coast. But the GFS is one of the few models that hang on to the chance that this could glance our southern area.

For being 5-6 days out, I'll stick with King Euro for now, which shows it'll pass too far south to do anything for us:

But I'll still be keeping an eye on this. If only because March has been really boring so far and I'm just holding on to the hope that this Winter has one last snowfall left for us.

Hey, snow lovers can dream, right?
