Ironically, my recollection believes big cold upper lows settling over the great lakes have always been good harbingers of switches to a more wintry pattern in January where we've been through a long period of bland. Take it for what it's worth.

Honestly i think that sounds right anecdotally

Looks like a long-duration light snow event from Thu night through Fri night for the western half of the sub, with 1-2" snow possible.  A nice refresher for areas that already have snow on the ground.  Normally not a big deal but with such long periods of benign weather this season it will stand out as a top 5 event for many of us.

There's definitely some juicier ensemble runs in there. I know that by itself doesn't mean anything beyond a hope, but this one feels good to me.

The surface/upper low tracks suck for like 90% of the sub.  Yeah, it'll snow, but I see little reason for optimism that this will be any kind of meaningful system for most.  To channel beavis... it's January, it should be snowing.

My optimism was along the lines of 3" instead of 2" B)

hard to believe any model will have a handle on the snow shower/squall accumulations layed out by this set up. Just enjoy that'll look like January and it maybe the change in the pattern we need. 
Agree, wouldn't expect a full handle until Wednesday on the specifics. At least we've been looking at the 15th as approximate date of arrival of a better pattern and getting a snow threat in the region around that time is a decent sign. As we've been discussing on the med-long range thread, see no reason to diverge from the thinking that pattern will become more favorable for more frequent snow threats on the last 10 days of the month and into February
