Interesting thread starter given the ramifications of white dendrites actually accumulating on the ground :)

You can trace the origin of the wave on the Euro back to the Arctic Circle at the northern tip of Nunavut, Canada...and it drops down into the SE in Manitoba Mauler style, pinched between dual ridges in Western and Eastern Canada.

Very interesting that the Euro is so adamant about giving WNC snow.  I can't perceive though where this moisture is coming from with a glorified clipper.  It would seem to be that the real totals would be toward the east closer to the late blooming low. 

I felt the same way this morning. I think the trof orientation is allowing moisture return from the gulf. We'll see. It's encouraging that the GFS and NAVGEM have joined the EURO.

This Euro run brings the trough from positive to neutral tilt quicker....it's simply a dynamic system that is dropping down right on top of us

Gulf tap, leeside trough , weirder things have happened. This looks a lot better than the last coastal storm for us further west. Still chances this goes a little more SW

There's a Tropical Moisture envelope sitting off the SE coast and Bahamas.  This envelope of tropical moisture has been there for the last three weeks.  For example, Super bomb storm and today's event over the East Coast.  Also, the flow comes out of the Gulf Coast for a bit of time.  Moisture is abundantly available, especially since the low hangs back for a bit and dives further southwest into the trough.

and the 12z Euro.  If the system pans out, the Euro is KING again!

Euro hasn't been king all winter... or last winter...  It has been consistently beaten by the GFS and CMC for our area, in fact last I remember it was 0/5 or 0/6 on grit's model performance thread.

Thanks! Color me uber skeptical, but man I hope it's right.  It'd be nice to have 4 inches of cold powder.  Never seen anything like this to my recollection though.

Well, at least the skies have had a chance to heal for this one. B)
