GEM at 144 has a 1009 over northern AL with an inverted sfc trough extending into the OV.

 

I think it's safe to say the "big dog" potential of this storm is starting to fade a bit.

 

 

Not an unfair statement to make at this point as long as nobody punts.  That was ridiculous.  Plenty of time to go with many model runs left.

Don't punt this thing yet. Gfs is doing horrible at handling it. If euro and Canadian follow well that's a different story

I don't need or want a big dog, I just want a wet one.  A big dog to me implies a hard left turn.

No punting. Still looks likely to be a decent snow producer. Also remains a smaller chance for a more memorable storm. But whether the models shift north or south, starting to see some consistency develop where the trough is just too progressive, and there's not enough development of the upper level low, for copious amounts of snow.

if you have a little dog I'd have its poncho on the ready if you don't want a wet dog.  o wait you said you wanted a wet dog, guess have the shampoo on the ready to squirt it down.

gfs looked much less phased at 500....good for us folks worrying about a nw shift.   Looks like it also keeps cmh below freezing the entire time.  Probably a lot of ice.    Hopefully the 18z was the pinnacle of northwest phased solutions.

An ice storm it is. A good thing it's so far out!

To me, a big dog is a big dog. Don't matter which way he's running.

 

you're right SC, I just looked thru the ggem panels on wxbell....moderate event down here....like 6".  Low gets to about PIT and transfers.   About a third of the juice it was pumping out on the 12z
