In the olden days, that’s exactly where you’d want the GFS at this stage.

@MANDA has noted this for the past week. The cold load in AK/Yukon and the Northwest territory is impressive.

That's funny but true

Wait have people been treating the GFS/Euro OP play by plays for a storm over a week out as actual forecasting? I thought we were all doing it as a fun bit of entertainment/learning opportunity. Everybody here should know that the OPs are effectively useless 7+ days out and only become moderately (still defer to ens) from 7-5 days out before taking over within 4 days of the storm.

Here we go...

It's snowing lightly here, but you'd think it was much heavier based on the visibility. Very cool vibe with the light snow and fog and everything plastered with snow. 32.7⁰, Today's snowfall so far 1.1". NWS forecast looks good, but there could be a little extra excitement this evening as the column cools a little more.

Steady snow back after a 1hr or so lull. No echoes on radar. Its obviously not picking up precipitation well. 1.5" today. 3.5" 2 day total and 14.5" ytd. Should be a fun afternoon evening

The Canadian is reminiscent of some of the east to west maulers I remember from being a kid in the 80s……. It’s a winter lover’s dream with……Snow on snow with back to back systems with less than 24 hours between them.

not in 94 it didn't, or 96. never know.

Better for gooning over the fantasy snow maps maybe

Funny looks much better than I imagined it would for this time, the lull was well forecasted , it will pick back up in the next few hours and spread NE as we watch a playoff snow game .

Going to the pats game gonna be fun with the flakes

Lol love the cut off there in Central Alabama and Georgia on the GFS.

Of course it was being laughed at for that but that wasn't the only big storm it was showing as it did on another runs. But it was as if because it showed that "stupid" storm all the others were laughed at and thrown out too since there wasn't agreement from EURO. Then last night EURO threw one out that was somewhat similar to what GFS was showing on few of it's runs. So maybe a "stupid" storm isn't as far fetched. I certainly do not want a 6 ft storm as ROTT discussed the dangers with that large a storm, but give me a"stupid" 12-24 one.

For those that know, the Ragu programmatic ad at the bottom of Pivotalweather will be the death of me.

NOVA/DC snow hole in full effect. What else is new?

Just went for a hike, snow coming down nicely again....everything I shoveled is already covered up again

A week out?

Definitely some nice wintry appeal.

It’s awesome out, steady tiny flakes , low ceilings with fog above the tree lines

Thanks for the motivation

I genuinely think the pattern is pretty loaded for a large overrunning Miller A/B type storm in late Jan. And it's showing up in spurts across op runs. With today's event the AI models had the best handle several days out so definitely keep an eye on what they show.

We have maybe 1" here, 34 degrees with some rain mixed in with the flakes that are currently falling.

Nice that it filled in even earlier than this. Radar continues to blossom with echoes to our southwest. Turning out that there wasn't even much of a break between rounds.

Sort of happening now.
