Can we play connect the dots there and say that it would bring indeed bring it up in the next panels?

I think it would bring some precip up. Whether it would bring the full load, idk. Depends if the southern lobe of the 5H vort was continuing to rotate enough counterclockwise. Imho.

I mean.... wow. 

At H5 the GFS, GEM, & ICON really aren't that far apart and they have had the energy being held back further out west. The only reason the GFS is not translating into a storm for someone (or a larger storm) is because of the baja bowling ball. It shears the Western shortwave and flatens the flow. Get rid of or mute it some, and I think everyone would have a smile on their face in some capacity. 

Ya'll wanted to go big dog hunting? This could be it.

Didn't most models sniff out the big blizzards (2010s, 2016 Jan) one week out?

Ya know, I still don't get enough credit and props for naming the Euro Doctor No.   Can I claim royalties from my own board?

You got a nickel and a dime in snow. That's surely enough.

While this is true, you can't forget that both of those seasons were Ninos and we have a much more active polar jet with the current Nina regime. There is a lot more northern stream energy flying around which can muddle the long range upper level progression. While the general idea is in place here, how far back the Western shortwave is pulled back, strength of ridging, and timing of the phase would translate to a number of different outcomes. Nothing is guaranteed - but the ceiling is high with this setup.

beautiful....Some of that far NW of the cities is Saturday snow.  There is a lot of CAD.  It's unclear what happens Saturday to me other than lack of moisture

Are we still at the stage where we should root against this one to get more of the next one...or are the two no longer correlating?
