Some weather history for February 6th 1978 A massive nor'easter buried the cities of the northeastern U.S. Storm totals included 18 inches at New York City, 16 inches at Philadelphia, and 14 inches at Baltimore. The Boston MA area received 25 to 30 inches in "The Great New England Blizzard" and the mayor outlawed travel in the city for an entire week. (David Ludlum) and in 2010 On February 5-6, a severe nor'easter, commonly referred to as Snowmageddon, impacted the east coast from North Carolina to New York. Some snowfall amounts include; 32.9 inches at Washington Dulles International Airport; 28.5 inches at the Philadelphia International Airport; 21.1 inches at the Pittsburgh International Airport; 18.2 in Atlantic City; Trace in Central Park.

All I know is that at least one of these maps is going to be wrong. You can't have snow when it's 70+ degrees, lol. (What will probably happen is something in the middle, with highs in the 50s.)

Mostly well above normal temps on the AIFS for the next two weeks. If we are going to repeat what we've done this winter it would suggest we get another cold period in March. Perhaps too late for arctic air by then but maybe one last hurrah for some snow. As it is, models showing a couple of wet periods down here at least.

1 dawg. Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen any dawgs on the AIFS ensemble.
