Amped thats because it takes too long to come East, its too far out to worry regardless but the setup is there

 

Yeah, GFS is more suppressed so that trough gets a bit sheared or comes slowly.  The set-up was there the other day, or at least it's shown a good storm in that time frame previously.  Doesn't show it now, but it does bear watching as you say.

If any storm forms in that time frame, track could be anywhere. We could have a d5 hecs on the ops that turns into a d1 buffalo express. Extremely hostile long lead pattern. It's probably a small miracle we even have a chance.

 

I thought next week into the first couple of days of March would be another chance, perhaps our last real one.  At the least, I'd like to see us end up with an epic cold February at this point and possibly another shot after Saturday.

Long wave troff axis could be anywhere from E Kansas to western North Carolina and we'd have a Ku. I want to punch it in the face for choosing Utah.

Jesus christ look at 500mb on the GFS @ 159 hours it looks like its gonna form a superstorm

If you want to look at an h5 prog that "by looks only" screams something big this is one below.  Just ignore the time stamp and the fact ths it's in fantasyland but just the look of it you could make a statement like this above, not the look you are referencing.

Did finally look at Euro weeklies on wxbell.. not as promising as the avg. Looks like cold shots keep coming but maybe intermixed with some warmer spells and cold shot moderation once we get into March.. kinda repetitive otherwise.

Our chances of warming anytime soon are diminishing, the EPO looks less likely to go positive and the Euro wants to tank it again into March.  NAO also shows signs of at least getting back towards neutral.  Could be more of the same with this pattern lingering into spring like last year. 

As for snow chances I like our odds better if the first gulf wave is the one to come up late next week.  If its the second wave over the weekend by then the high would probably be on the way out and we run into major temp problems.  The first gulf low could still change over with no blocking but it would probably at least have to start as a good bit of snow first.

Something else to keep an eye on., several gefs members show a hit around 132hrs with the ejecting cutoff. 

There is so much going on next week the models will struggle with specifics.  What we know is it will be cold and the STJ is active and could try to throw several waves at the cold.  We just need one to time up well before we lose the cold.

There's going to be an awesome HP sprawling the country come end of next week. Question will become, do we get a shortwave to eject eastward in time before it loses its potency. The setup is there for something epic guys, maybe the best setup we've seen for a MECS all season. Will the pieces align though? Who the hell knows
