Pattern Fab-February 2020 The dark age

How far out does the off hrs euro go to trying to see if that storm it showed on the 12z euro around the 200 hr Mark is still there or not
 
Only one thing to do after the last flake falls, besides play in the snow.

Thats start chasing the next one. We get a storm next weekend into following week, Im naming it the Gawx Storm. We all need one more fix before the mosquitoes and gnats come calling.
 
I'm not exactly sure people wanting a board wide snowstorm want a super cold Arctic air mass plunging down. I'll take my chances with the in-between though, that's for sure!

The last events that I think would have qualified as boardwide were Jan of 1977 and Feb of 1899. ( @pcbjr included). Both of these were associated with super cold Arctic air.

Was it in place before, or after the events? I just worry about suppression and shearing of any kind of energy we can get going. It's nothing more sad for snow lovers than looking at a potential storm on the 500mb vort charts and see the Northern stream just murder it.

Good question.

1) 2/1899: A first Arctic airmass had preceded the snow. Then there was modification followed by a 2nd Arctic airmass that was biblical. The Gulf low resulting in the snow (blizzardlike) formed on the super cold front that first brought in the super cold with the snow at the same time. It kind of resembled today’s storm in that regard (the timing) in that it got colder as the snow was falling.

2. 1/1977: This was more like an Alberta Clipperlike northern stream system that came in just after the first of two consecutive super cold airmasses. So, moisture was limited. Right after it came the 2nd super cold airmass.
 
Beginning to wonder if we may end up at average or just slightly above for this month. But the cold showing up at least to me is more run of the mill and probably only ties the lowest, unless you go far south.
 
After mid week Apps runner and backside upslope for mtns, cold comes down. Euro wants to crawl a low/energy across us next Fri late into Sun. Keep an eye out for this time
