Timed phase @ 7 day leads are easy peazy for models to nail. lol

Any real phase is pretty late.. kinda just precip running into an old cold airmass.. kind of how some have assumed we might get snow out of this pattern.

Phase was a bad choice of words because the NS interacts to add fuel as the low tracks along the deep south. Not really a phase. Just some extra amp at the perfect time.

I'd kinda rather it go back south now heh. We know how this can end.

Pretty much what we can do best.  Good overrunning of a lot of moisture into a very cold existing air mass.  Those seem to be the "simplest" for us, relatively speaking, especially with the lack of blocking.

The big difference showed up @ d5 or so with a much stronger shortwave digging through the west. I'm rooting for a strong storm. Even something that runs overhead or west is still going to snow on us (if the gfs version plays out in some fashion). Today's run is just eye candy. I'd be happy with any wet system coming up from the south even if it's mixed. Much better than the NS stuff we have in front of us

that "may" change late month into MAR as the Euro continued on last night's run (2nd run in a row) to split the PV

To some degree though I don't think I'd want to see much stronger than now.. there's already not that huge of breathing room. I mean if you just want some snow followed by rain I guess it doesn't matter but there's no classic high as is etc. Of course it's so far out it's not really worth the analysis..

We've already seen a much more impressive split this year and plenty of perturbations. Every time has been temporary and reconsolidation shortly after. However, the last big split was partly responsible for the big cold shot in Jan with clippers that actually snowed on us. I wouldn't think too far ahead with the strat stuff. Nothing has broke favorable in the way of sustained blocking so it's best to assume it isn't happening this year until it's already happening.

euro weeklies have suggested a neutral NAO or sometimes negative NAO by beginning of Mar. but... not sure that necessarily means we're going to get much snow after that. probably helps lock in a crappy march/april.
