Based on the position of the NAM at 84 hours and where the 12Z and 18Z GFS show the system it seems likely the offshore track which would give a threat of snow to the area is more legitimate...the NAM is not overly juiced up or too far west...I don't see it being a big storm but its likely more a threat than the Euro would indicate, I made a pact I would not trust the Euro anymore this winter anyway til it beat the GFS on a storm which its really yet to do

Check out my blog on this particular threat at liveweatherblogs.com.  Thanks.

I agree 100 % - good write up - 3 -6 inches seems reasonable right now - confidence grows with each run the GFS shows this and we are within 4 days now - the main reason I am behind this storm is the indicies are all favorable and even though the NAO is not as negative as we would like for an east coast storm - the previous storm is helping out with the blocking and slowing things down

The 108-120 hour progression on the Euro is very exciting. IF the 579dm ridge at H5 verifies on the west coast, the potential would exist for a major storm system on the East Coast. The models have been consistently underestimating the energy and speed of northern stream shortwaves this season. And while the Euro has the signal for a northern stream shortwave diving into the trough over the MS Valley at that time, one can assume that a slightly more amplified/energetic solution would be enough to develop the coastal low faster.

The NAO is also the most negative it's been in months if that means anything. 

means even more when the PNA is positive like it is forecasted to be later this week and the AO close to  -2 forecasted - signals deep trough in the east - models might take a while to fiqure this out but the chances this week for an east coast storm have increased
