Going to Cancun Saturday. Flight out of BDL at 6am connecting at BWI. 
 

I have the option to switch the flight to Friday morning (Southwest airlines), but there’s only 5ish seats left on the flight.

 

Would you do that or ride it out at this point?

When that cold air starts to real get more organized say by the 20th or so, short lived or hanging around a bit?

Looks to have some staying power. The first round looks not obscenely cold but when that PNA/EPO ridge rebuilds around 1/25 or so then we could see some more arctic shots. 

Think of the change occurring in like two phases. The initial phase is this weekend and early next week. Definitely colder and legit snow threats but the initial EPO block folding over and joining the PNA ridge is not the longer term change...that actually is only short lived and then reloads as a more coherent wave several days later. So that few day period in between could be more like seasonable temps.

Damn on that slope on the GFS. That would be one heck of a Thumper. 

Has that 7" in an hr band somewhere look to it, doesn't it..

Sorry, with that incredible power that's probably ceiling Terran physics in having a solid 3 deg of latitude thick tube of wind over 120 kts going W- E from Pit to SE of CC like that... someone is getting strobe lightning too -

kidding of course... but with that level of excessive wind solution, the frontogenics probably maxed absolutely there, with trop. folding UVM cores... and necessrily, those QPF charts may as well be douche because they're not going to pick up 0 mi vis, snow rating over 7/hr.

And what's amazing...this is a weaker solution by 5 to 10 kts over 12z

I know this Kuchera derived clown map should not be taken (even near) to face value but it's fun to look at.  18Z GFS through Sunday AM

Half those numbers ;) yup...

Still 12 to 16" happening in - probably 8 to 10 hrs ...

But Like I was I saying to  ... Steve I think it was, I don't think the QPF charts are altogether useful... For more than the usual D6/7 lead, but because that structure/evolution synoptically supports deplorably pornographic for meso potential.

Ironically ... a few of those numbers could get 2/3 to 3/4 realized by accident -
