F-U-G-L-Y.
One thing Scott pointed out was the developing ridge near Bermuda that is helping to kick this west more over the last couple days of model runs.
I think you'll be hard-pressed to see the MLs close off with this given the setup. This is basic an open wave storm developing along the arctic boundary. It's not a re-developer.
Widespread, no, but when you have a moisture laden system slamming into an arctic air mass such as this, we have seen some prolific snow events transpire.
Pretty sad to go 1/2 way thru MET winter and just see your 1st single digits low. Hit 9F finally this AM. On to this pesky fella. Antecedent cold looks solid. I'm hoping we don't see the primary tend any stronger as it will lead to warming in the BL along the coastal plain. Sort of hoping for a minor overrunning event here.
background winter theme has been wagons north. Tough to argue/break that until the pattern truly takes shape for southern areas. Overnight runs for weekend did not drastically change to think that we can see much snow for south and eastern areas of SNE.
