Models will change from now until next week but they are right though.

No blocking but we will have a strong negative epo . We have to see how strong it will be and where the transfer will be.

the seasonal model pattern has been to show a great setup and lots of potential for a snow event then as we get closer the models start changing to a warmer cutter pattern

you generally need blocking to get a storm to transfer properly.     That was the end problem with the 1/20 storm-the primary just ran up the coast about 50-100 miles inland...

Blocking is crucial but you don't really need it for a snow event unless you are looking for a huge snowstorm.

you need an 13-14, 14-15 style massive EPO press to get that.  I don't see that here-the EPO ridge is a bit far west verbatim.

The EPO isn’t going to help this one. AO going very strongly positive, strong positive NAO, no Atlantic blocking to be had, strongly negative PNA. This has cutter written all over it. All of next week is an absolutely horrible setup for a snowstorm in our area

Cool weather is great

No doubt cool weather is great. Nothing like the 50s and 60s with full sunshine. It's the wetness I don't like. That's why I love snow so much. You can go out in it and enjoy it without getting soaked. Go for a run in the rain and mist and it is gross.
