Ensembles look better than the ops, but worried this is going to end up like the system we have had here the last two days. I can't stand anymore cold rain.

Agreed. Would rather have an early warm wet spring. The cold rain is complete shit.

We’re at day 7 we couldn’t trust it if we were in the bullseye right now. Euro and UK are concerning, they don’t get it done with the cold. Thankfully eps and GEFS are colder than their ops. I’d hug ensembles at this range, also ensembles seem to be in fairly good agreement across suites

I feel like it has a bias for strong phased storms that track south of Guidance, which happens to be exactly what we need

It hasn’t been very accurate of late with a couple recent systems but it has been very similar to EPS with this upcoming storm. Maybe a blind squirrel will find a nut this time?

Let's see if the old wives tale holds up for next week. Had several rounds of thunder and lightning last night about midnight, several people I've talked to this morning in person said it's going to snow within a week. I think it's funny how some folks predict their weather, we shall see.

The only wives tale or old school logic I 100% believe in, is to watch the animals. If we get to Sunday-Tuesday and they start acting odd, usually something is coming. Before the sleet fest in mid Jan, the deer, geese, crows and herons were working overtime to eat. Saw way more wildlife activity than normal in the 3 days leading up.

The morning GFS run wasn't far off from something like that, just needs to slow down and phase

Icon really slowed down. That’s going to be our key here. It’s starting to seem simple how we get a big storm. As for track, small differences matter. ICON rides the coast, mixed bag for us. I don’t care about that at this point. Give me a slowed down, phased storm that can actually play with what looks like a primo airmass, worry about specifics later

Whether it amps too much and becomes rain or not, idk, but that southern jet screams major storm as opposed to anything weak and suppressed. Gut says classic I85N event but I could still see this trending to Kentucky/Middle VA north. 

I may be wrong, but amped might be better here given the airmass north of the storm. Assuming amped doesn’t bring it inland, the more amped solutions seem to be pulling cold air in more efficiently vs the strung out solutions. All I’ll say about the southern jet and I’ve been saying this for a few days, this is a big dog pattern

I totally agree, mother nature knows when things are getting ready to change drastically. The animals have to prepare for survival purposes, it makes perfect sense that they can tell. During the January 11th storm I noticed a few days prior to the storm the squirrels and rabbits and birds everything was on the move. I might even watch the grocery stores, people do the same thing we rush and buy all the bread. Maybe that's the best indicator.
