500mb looks really nice. The fast flow could end up hurting us though. I’ve been tracking this time frame for a few days now and the one negative we could potentially run into is kicker problems....This looks like a Miller A/B hybrid to me, but idk. 
Yea man....such a fast mover....not the classic

Lol ya, probably because of the fast flow like I said....FV3 looks very similar at H5 but it also has a very tight precip field. Just something to keep an eye on at this point.

I dont have precip, but 216 hrs looks like it was setting up an overrunning event fwiw.

There is a train of strong Pac storms following that hit on the Euro. One after another. Could be an epic Jan/Feb if it works out.

Epic epo...but nao looks neutral. Need better or we will have to fight se ridge and gradient. This is not pattern we were expecting to walk into

On the 2nd map you can see why the precip shield isnt as explosive as it could have been. Low is just NE of NC, but look at how widespread the pressure falls are NE of the low. Kind of think of it it like a top spinning (the L) at the end of a pendulum. The Pendulum (trough) is headed E while the energy rounded the base is trying to spin up a low as fast as possible. In a situation like this if the energy rounding the base of the trough cant develop a low fast enough the pendulum just kicks everything NE quickly. Idk....hard to explain without using professional met. Lingo lol.... 

I’d be curious to see 250-300mb jet during this run.

Obviously way out there so not that concerned. Plenty of cold air to work with. Obviously we could have timing issues. But a great epo and ao modeled there. Combine that with the number and strength of those storms and I will take my chances.

Cracks me up that people are whining about the pattern in 10 days. I guess that they don’t realize that we are actually in a pattern right now that has opportunities in the short range to see winter weather. Areas of the forum got over a foot of snow last week. Areas north and west picked up a sloppy inch or two last night. We’ve got 1-2 chances at wintry weather over the next week. Hopefully, everyone doesn’t get to the first or second week in February and miss the “good pattern” that is actually happening now...

Weren’t we just worried about the return of the nasty Pacific jet? I’ll take a huge -EPO over that any day. Very Feb 2015ish tbh.

The fact that Ji is depressed after potentially getting another warning level event is strange. It's not like he made a public forecast for a huge snow winter or anything... wait a minute...
Not depressed man....its been a very uneven winter. We have had one storm since met winter started and it's almost February. And now the data is backing off the great looks we are seeing and we dealing with mixed events when I expected feb 2003 at some point

How much snow would make you happy? And why aren't you more content with what you've gotten so far? (you almost have twice as much as some of us, lol)

I never expected a big winter. My original contest guess was sub climo but edited at the last minute because the AO was negative. That lasted 45 minutes before going positive.

The nino never looked like it was going moderate and now it may not even hit weak. Without a mod nino our area is hit and miss. So if anything, this winter is going exactly like what you would expect for warm neutral or weak nino. 

We actually stand a really good chance at topping climo at the airports and in our yards. If that isn't good or satisfying then you should consider moving to where snow is more common or giving up the hobby alltogether.

Ji was complaining in 09/10. It is just what he does. I have been watching his meltdowns for a decade and a half at this point. It isnt winter without them.
