Yep, was definitely a bummer to see it go down the tubes, but it's one of THOSE winters!

It would not have been as bad if the GFS had the storm and the Euro did not. The GFS said No, and it was right.

Yeah...maybe if tonight was 6 weeks ago.

Actually, in early spring snow chances evaporating is exactly what this should be like.

Weekend rule was not in effect either, so it had no chance! LOL. Also hard to get big east coast lows with a strong La Nina if I am not mistaken?

I dont think anything felt more heart breaking than the MAR 2001 disaster. Nothing before and since has come close to affecting me. I have (and im sure a lot in the mid atlantic) witnessed my fair share of heart breaks but they usually dont affect too much... I remember the MAR 2001 storm actually making me really down for a couple of days ...

All that hype, wasted energy and wasted potential .... what looked so good so close... it was the opposite of JAN 2000 ....

So this current situation is a BREEZE in comparison and certainly no where need the magnitude of that upset.

OH and speaking of VVs and deformation zones ... watch SE VA / NC w/ this near miss. Strong PVA here, near deformation zone create some VVs and potential for snow.

I can help you with why that storm failed if you are ever interested... That goes for everyone else, too.

hint: there's a sneaking teleconnector not yet defined, or recognized, in the Caribbean. it's origin is probably south of the tropic of cancer.

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic here or not ....

anywho...

The storm failed in the mid atlantic b/c of the modeling ---- s/w rounding the base of the PV lobe didnt phase.

No sarcasm! And...yes, failed because models do not account for rare cross-Equatorial mid level flow.
