The vortex is starting to take a pretty steep dive at 48-51 hours...we'll see if it produces something good. There's pretty potent energy comign down the back side of it in MN.

It's a pretty incredible amount of energy really.

What's really changed here is the earlier NAM snows have goon POOF. That may not be a bad thing if it favors a later hit, we'll see soon.

I'm just a novice at this but a big difference I notice 0z NAM vs 18z NAM at hr 48/54 respectively is the vortex over western canada was closed off from the trough at this same time but it appears open and is dumping energy into the trough. Not sure what if any impact this would have just a difference I saw and was wondering about.

(am I reading this right?)

That energy looks very impressive and starts to dig the trough at hr 54.

What's totally different is the energy crashing ashore around 42 is now interacting with the main PV. The NAM never had that previously not sure about other models. May be able to compensate for a late start.

EDIT: and we have a triple header as energy is coming west around the main PV. If this doesn't develop into something big I'm going to smash Ray's computer.

This NAM run is intriguing; much more dynamics pouring into the trough out of Manitoba - better relay off the Pac??

From my post above it seemed like that energy go pinched off in Manitoba and "stolen" in the 18z run (not sure about other runs or models) but definitely a major difference this time on the NAM.

It's gonna shaft us.

The NAM is so wildly different than the earlier run I have a hard time believing any of it. Will await the GFS/GGEM and Dr Evil.

This kind of looked like a giant turd to pretty quickly as it's an elongated system SW/NE. Still not convinced we don't pinch off even in this setup, but right now through 72 it's pinching a loaf.

We're finding new ways to get screwed, be fun to watch a 300 mile long but 30 mile wide blizzard.

It was a pretty big change from 18z..lol.

It keeps the closed low in sort of the same spot in Michigan. The differences are the shortwaves rounding the base of the trough. At least in a generic sense it's keeping a sort of boring 500mb low position and we're relying on some type of norlun/inverted trough setup. 18z delivered that... 00z doesn't. Nature of the beast.
