That setup day 7-8 is not good IMO, will def lead to a cutter if the shortwave is that strong we'd need the PV to be more south/east and more robust, 

You don't need to look any further than H5 to see why this won't be a cutter. We don't get into these great gradient patterns too often and I think it's causing people to be overly pessimistic about things.

When we do though typically the gradient is more beneficial to our northern friends. I agree that this 94' esque gradient pattern will not lack moisture and when we couple it with the cold air we can cash in substantially. Think we should all take a breather till superbowl weekend to see if its panic or promise

And when we do get them the models usually show rain beyond Day 4-5...that was a major problem in 93-94 for every storm, the 2/8 and 2/11 events were rain on the AVN model 96 hours out...obviously the models are better now but they still overphase stuff in split flow/gradient setups...notice how Friday's event is nowhere near as "phased" as it was 3 days back on the models, its fairly flat now.

The low on the 12z GEFS mean passes off the Delmarva coast and then towards Cape Cod. The operational models are obviously having some issues. At hour 216 the cluster is actually quite tight right off the NJ coast and most differences are timing rather than track. Nearly 2" of QPF through day 9 on the mean, most of that frozen. By the looks of the mean, I doubt any of the individual members have cutters, or very few.

If we go into a pattern with strong, STJ-infused troughs and a SE ridge, we will likely get rainy/icy cutters unless there is blocking over western Greenland and Davis Straight. We're really playing with fire if we don't have that in place with a stormy pattern. In that respect, the Euro makes sense to me.

Yup with no blocking to help lock the cold air in its snow for the north and use either taint or rain. Having a davis strait or greenland block would be essential for us to actually have consistent snow chances otherwise its catskills on north that are in the white
