maybe...it isn't inconceivable that we get a FROPA without much fanfare like we do 99% of the time...it probably makes more sense than a rapid temp drop and heavy snow hours later

Rather than speculate on it I'd rather just check out the next few models for the fropa and the energy up the coast behind it.

The cold periods modeled by the GFS and Euro are completely different. 

no, the euro is jumping around all over the place

this was 12Z at Day 7 and this run looks far from that (and we're 12 hours later)

it is rain, but ut has a nice coastal at 180 hours....moisture laden...that skims us....I like seeing that....are we supposed to be in some awesome pattern in 7 days?....don't we have to step down and up and down for a bit?...

No it appears to be a total flip. No storm at 180 was ever suppose to give us rain

we dont know the timing or the severity but at least there seems to be some evidence accumulating that real cold is coming...the euro has a 7pm temp of around 3F at ORD when the run ends...that is the kind of cold that has you and me giddy if it can get down here...we'll see what happens

 

And maybe some storm potential around the 22nd. GFS and Euro both have a beautiful ridge out west teaming up with a nice block. Could be a nice window to get something

Everyone root for the Packers and Seahawks today... If they win the AFC champ game will be in Green Bay on the 23rd. IF the polar vortex drops like modeled it will rival the Frozen Tundra game of the 70's with wind chills in the -40 to -60 range!

That polar vortex is way more powerful than any of us thought! It will have caused the Packers and Seahawks to shift conferences! NFC to AFC!

euro does your thing...brings that secondary wave north

Trouble is if it comes north it probably will be too warm. I'm not yet that excited. I see the pattern getting us back to climo in terms of snow chances but still less than climo for a significant snowstorm at least for this area.
