Is it just me or does this feel like a scaled down version of 12/26/10 from the day before the big trend? Just about all models tonight (other than the NAM, but the NAM at hour 84 isn't even worth mentioning) seem to be slowly inching towards something bigger. I'm definitely not implying this will be a blizzard again with 8-12+ inches, it may not make it all the way to a large storm, but it could be something at least somewhat bigger than the light 2-4" event the models have.

It is pretty ironic that we're also watching a feature diving southeast through the Plains to meet up with a shortwave over the MS Valley ... as we were then.

We probably could not afford for this system to be any more amped or closer....would likely have mixing issues.

I'll take my chances with the more amped solution. There is a MUCH improved airmass to work with and honestly, I think a sub-980 system offshore would have some impressive dynamics to squash any mixing issues.

The Euro and GFS are worlds apart now. The Euro has a closed ULL sitting east of Cape Cod at 84 hours...GFS isn't on the same page and that's putting it lightly.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I saw positive changes as early as 36-48 hrs here so im putting lots of trust into the euro

The northern stream really brings cold air dynamics into this thing. euro keeps 850's off the coast of cape may. very feasible to stay cold. @ the phase, it really crashes the cold air into the center. Classic CCB. nice run for i-95. nice trends at h5 to make things a little sharper.

We're seeing this big ECM jump just 72-84 hours out - if it was 120+ hours out it'd probably be just another ECM run, but seeing this in the short range, along with the minor changes on the rest of tonight's model runs, makes me wonder if it's actually onto something. Tomorrow could be interesting if so...
