What's your point? Please post comments, not just maps...

Sorry, I was just impressed by the placement and strength of the High. Can't get much better for a CAD event. Of course the later panels put the 850 mb low over chicago, so it all goes to crap in the later panels. Probably another snow/ice/rain event.

If the low goes far enough west it might not break the CAD. Caveat is I have only seen the panel you posted here.

When I was looking at those frames from about 162 to 192 I kept thinking that what it showed screamed ice storm. We all know that there's very little potential for it to be correct this far out. The positive is that it shows something and a pattern swinging toward better. It could end up being a lot of things at this point.

I posted in the wrong thread earlier but I do agree that this is evolving into something that probably deserves some attention. It hurts not having a block in place because if we did, that second low wouldn't take a lakes track. It's closing off pretty far west though as modeled. It would be tough to get it to track south of us anyway. Nice cad sig with the first wave also. Could be something there as well.

Ian made a good point too. If the second low cuts far enough west it wouldn't destroy temps through our column. We can get snow with a track like that and a nicely placed hp to the n&w.

It could be a fun week. Anytime there is a big strong area of hp like that to the north and lp breaking out along the gulf coast it usually ends up with some sort of wintry precip around here.

There is a great site that actually shows each matching event's 500's, total snowfall, rainfall, etc... It also does analogs for 3 or 4 different time periods (3, 5, 7, 10 days out????) out. My computer is in the shop right now so don't have access to it. You or anyone else wouldn't by chance be aware of what site I am talking about and the link to it?

Are you referring to this link?

A good two thirds of the GFS ens show a storm in a week. 7 are coastals of differing variety.

Long way to go. 6 days ago, about two thirds of the same ens. showed a storm for today.

they were pretty close..

They were all over the place. A few were rain to snow.. a few snow... one was a transfer storm from OH/KY/WVA area to the NC coast

i wouldnt put any more stock in the ensembles than the op in this range. pattern's getting better is all that really matters for now.
