I'm not expecting consistent double digit snowfalls, but this should at least get almost everyone to climo if the pattern holds. Hell, after the past two winters climo will feel great.
It's a damn shame we can rid ourselves of this low in the Gulf of Alaska. Without it, that Aleutian Low would be pumping one hell of a west coast ridge for us.
Key difference with Euro weeklies now is that it's NW flow across all of Canada which rapidly builds snow cover and solidifies a cP airmass for us. If this holds, it significantly increases the likelihood of below normal temps and at least embedded clippers.
This interface is very slow and seems to rely on third party data for the underlying base map. Given the antecedent challenges with NWS IT infrastructure their move to this product was, IMO, short sighted. I prefer the old radar because it was faster to load, easier to interpret, and still worked when you had limited data connection.
