Yeah winter definitely showed up on that run. Huge nor'easter at the end too (usual caveats apply). Could get unlucky, but I like the active look and deeply negative 2 meter temps running from Montana to DC to Maine. That would be something...
Based on the FV3 maps in the MA forum, must be something akin to 1888 in there. 36-48"+ up the HV, western CT, western Mass, VT. Haven't seen the run yet, so can't confirm. Still, active and potentially fun period coming up.
That mega bomb in the LR has at least been hinted at in one guise or another on the modeling for several days now. Strong s/w traverses the pole, rounds the PV and dive into the U.S. hard. Anyway, no reason to put much weight behind it, but interesting to watch.
