I follow Maryland and Southern Pa winters very closely since I lived there many years. But in my 17 winters in SE Iowa Ive had way way more snow and wintry weather than the midatlantic.

The late Nov snow was actually pretty solid here. We had a daytime high of freezing on that day and the snow stuck around for several days. A low or two in the teens as well.

The trough East and ridge West part is correct.

The ECMWF has been advertising some areas of frost for Monday night. Slim pickins, but it's something.

Many places in the midatlantic havent had a good snowstorm since Jan 2016 (Jonas on twc). Before that that last widespread deep snows were 2010.
