I saw the piece this AM and said , that kinda looks compressed to me , The thought process was the NW  flow  was easterly enough , and I bit on the SB . ( which I still like )  But the 12z GFS was close as is the Euro ,  HM loved this period from 10 days ago .

Just need a slight retrogression of the trough west  and the window opens up again on the EC

We need the Monday system to be stronger than modeled (as most vorts have been this season) and miss us way to the NW...it would then swing around the PV and pull the trough far enough west to give us a miller a KU storm around the 29th. Euro is close to showing that and I am very close to WOOFING for this storm.

The Euro has been the furthest North of all the guidance pulling the SW through the lakes on Monday  , the NAM is the strongest , the last 2 SW that came through strengthened inside 48 hours ,

so by Sat the models should pick up if the vortex regresses enough allowing  the trough to be closer to the coast .

The amount of chances in this period will really spoil people , this really isn't the norm

Agreed. And, yes, the Euro being the furthest north with Monday's system is why we end up with the KU graze. If it were to strengthen the energy dropping down, we would be destroyed by snow from that next system. I am as excited about the MECS+ chances between 1/29 and 2/2 as I have been all season and even through last year. I feel strongly that we're getting something big during this period.

Didn't some people say this in '09-'10 and '10-'11? In addition to stating that we would never see those types of winters in our lifetimes again? Because look what's happening in the current 15-day modeling. :P

I think most on this board are super excited as well with the possibilities that lay ahead for a upper end KU. Its not often that some of the most humble posters like you are so damn gung-ho on a pattern, but mother nature is giving it all to us this winter so far! ;)

If you lived through the 80's and some 90's winters you would understand that we have been spoiled for the last decade...some years it seemed as if it found every way not to snow around here.

What happens the middle or end of next week all depends on what happens Sunday-Monday. If that systems intensifies enough, it will sharpen the trough in its wake, allowing it to retrograde just slightly, and then we could get a storm coming up the coast Tuesday night or Wednesday. And what happens with that system effects what might happen around Superbowl Sunday.

headed up there tomorrow and will be till feb2. goin to be interesting to see how I cope with the cold. my damn yankee blood has really thinned over the years :)

Been up here my whole life and sinuses still can take the cold that much. Currently fighting an upper respritory infection, sinus infection and broke a fever last night, and to top it off have inventory today as well. FAIL! Haha

Im really hoping, praying, voodoo'ing etc. that this pattern will deliver to its fullest. Its a damn buffet with all these storms around!

I cant see how we atleast dont get one doozy of a storm in the next 7-10 days. The powder keg is there we just need mother nature to stick that match and light it! ;)

From HM in the MA thread:

 

As others have noted, MR-LR modeling has been quite variable with individual storm threats. But longer-term means, climo and general patterns have been stellar in the numerical guidance. Anyway, notice the modeling doesn't quite partially phase these waves as the system leaves the East. The GFS was actually a lot closer in doing it than the ECMWF. We'll see how this goes but I like the potential a lot for the following reasons:

1. All 3 streams are present and become 1 upper-level jet (plot 200mb winds e.g.) up the East Coast.
2. This wave drops straight down from polar lats behind a departing PV that was just anomalously south.
3. Brief "-NAO west" blip negative at Day 3-5 will begin to rise thereafter as PV races back north.
4. Some Pacific flow begins undercutting PNA in about 5 days.
5. Enhanced oceanic baroclinicity from recent/incoming Arctic Air.

As crazy as it sounds, this coastal low on the 28th/29th would actually bring snow to the Outer Banks. I would think that's an extremely rare occurrence.

The way this winters gone wouldnt doubt it. Going to be one to tell my kids when i have them one day thats for sure. My dad always bought up 78' now i can tell them winters ive experienced ;)
