From Intellicast . . .dated Feb 21
There will be at least for the next few weeks, plenty of storms to deal with for many people. As the troughiness, which has been locked in the eastern states moves gradually west and the high latitude blocking which was so prevalent in early winter vanishes, the areas most affected change and the forecast challenges increase. There will be plenty of snow in the southwest and central states. In the east, expect a few big rainmakers and at least the chance of another big snow.
The northern stream continues to deliver cold air masses, but without blocking they tend to move more quickly through the area. Southern storm track has become very active with storms now coming at a one to two per week rate. The timing of the storms and the cold high pressure determines who gets the snow.
With blocking events in the western North Atlantic or eastern Canada, the highs tend to "lock-in" and force the storms more to the south. They also can slow the movement of the storms and prolong the event and increase the resulting snowfall amounts.
Without blocking, the storms coming out of the southern stream have to be timed just right to produce a widespread snow event. If the highs are too far out ahead of the storms or too far behind, the storms tend to turn more to the north behind the highs and bring more rain. Snow tends to fall just at the start of the storm and if there is cold air behind the storm to the left of the track.
