The ice storm potential with this thing is huge. Where this all lays out will be very tricky to pin down all the way up to the event, but wherever it does it could be quite damaging. It's really too bad that ice storms like these cause so many problems cause they're actually very cool to witness firsthand. Hopefully there will be more sleet than freezing rain in the areas that will be impacted by the layer of warm air.

That second set of - numbers is 850mb temp?

Skilling is up late tonight watching the models just like us lol..

"Big precip numbers out of the latest Canadian & European Center models on precip with next week's storm. Between Mon & Mon night, when a lead disturbance could lay down several inches of snow ahead of the main event later Tue into Wed, these models are kicking out water equiv precip values in excess of 1". These totals--if they verify--are stunning."

Question now becomes, what model do you guys think is right so far? What model makes the most sense.

Euro/NAM would be the most farthest northwest, while GFS/UKIE/GEM takes the low through KY. while EURO takes it through S/C IND.

I think the Euro is likely a tad too fast with the southern stream wave ejecting into the plains--and it eventually tracks a tad farther N since that southern wave tracks ahead of the trough across the intermountain W unimpeded by the northern stream as it ejects into the plains. Euro is close--perhaps slow it down a tad. NAM is close too--but perhaps a tad too far S with the southern stream wave.

I'd take a stab that the Euro/NAM combo will be closest to correct. I won't list the reasons why so I don't make a fool of myself. :pimp:

I'm probably biased, but I'd go with a blend of the NAM/Euro at this point. I'm probably jaded from the many years of NW trends with SW flow systems, but it sure seems like the Euro has been on this thing from several days back. It did have a run or two that indicated a further south track, but it's basically been locked in for the last 3 days. I think the GFS is not nearly as dynamic with this storm as what it should be, and for that reason I expect it to adjust a bit northwest in time.
