Just saw this as well. It’s definitely interesting that the graf is trending towards a solution we saw a few days ago - overrunning precip well ahead of the low after looking paltry for days.
Yep and I won’t give up hope until it’s onshore. We still have a lot to work out in the coming days and no doubt, 18z will show something wildly different. We’re still very much in windshield wiper territory.
Storm aside, it really is wild to see how much the pattern advertised has devolved into such a mess. Cold, sure, but just slightly below average January cold. That’s not enough anymore outside of the mountains.
Great Lakes low. Would it kill us to ever see a high up north? What’s nuts is how easy it is to get CAD in theory. Quite literally any moderately decent high from Iowa to New England could get us across the finish line.
Weird a** depiction this go around. I won’t completely discount it but until we see ensembles with a storm that far north and amped, I’m having a hard time buying it. We’re not quite in the range where OPs should take preference.
Vintage winter day for you guys that I miss so much. Snow squalls followed by howling winds and tumbling temps. Should be a nice night by the fire. Someone have a bourbon on the rocks for me.
