Side note for my above post: If the GFS transferred its 700 mb and 850 energy even just 6 hours sooner from the primary to the coastal, it would be all/mostly snow for literally everyone.
That would be cold powder before gradually turning more wet. Cold temps out ahead and if anyone gets into a weenie band during WAA they could be in for a surprise.
Does the NAM usually trend colder as it gets closer? Since we have an ideal block and 50/50 it would seem so, and given the lower resolution of at-range NAM.
I'm well aware that I ain't getting 20 inches. Most of the time I get around a foot or a little less and places west get crushed. Happens 90 percent of the time. So I have no reason to worry about that post
