I like the look of the gfs a lot. The key is just getting this s/w to eject out on time, not allowing the hp to build in too early, as it will squash the storm like the euro is showing. It's hopefully a bit of the euro model bias holding the s/w back in the southwest too long in the LR. If you inspect the GFS around hr 180, the CAD front is already starting to infiltrate. It truncates around 192 and the model loses this feature. If you look at the layered cold from NC up to SE Canada, along with the building HP, this screams ice/snow threat. 

 

Side note, the system coming in monday is really interesting too and has trended more closed off/negative. I would keep an eye on that.

 

Now that the parallel GFS has taken over, I didn't think it truncated at 192 hrs but more out to 240 or something?

 

BTW, agree that the surface is a little off given the amt of high pressure in place.  That look at 500mb is a class overrunning setup.

hmm I guess accuweather hasn't updated their model yet.

While we try and manufacture a storm in fantasy land range, the new models give the NE a K-U blackbuster. Doh!

 

The new ECMWF is rolling in, from early returns it will probably not be much like the GFS

 

Nope!   Wow that's quite a blizzard.

I'm glad to see someone paying attention to that system seem like it's getting stronger every run.

Am I crazy or should the peeps in NC not be pumped about the moisture that wraps around and gets thrown back?

Mountains yes, but not those to the east except for far northeast NC.  I know the western piedmont rarely gets wraparound due to downsloping.

So we have suppressed NW flow cold, or an Ohio valley crush job!? Take the avg, and we all score!

That's pretty much it Mack. I found it interesting that the Canadian was digging the northern stream so far west while the Euro was well east with it. GFS was in between the two, but closer to the Canadian.

Forgive me but why is that good for anyone outside the mountains for wintry precip??

it allows the cold air to travel better across the snowpack up north. It would help keep moderation of air masses from the north to a minimum and it would help the cad areas a lot also to help keep the cold air cold to the north instead of moderating.
