I can never remember how to get to the CPC site for that. I'll try to figure it out again because I keep meaning to. -

SOI had a big drop recently after be positive for most of the past month Some say that portends a southern stream storm in 2-3 weeks, others are skeptical. Good convection near the dateline too: Strat still looks to get split in early to mid Feb. -
Getting what I call Ridley Scott snow this morning. High ration powder just floating around like atmospheric fiberglas in a Ridley Scot film.

csnavy, a met in the MA forum, had a good/ funny approach for managing expectations regarding models each day this week: In other words, if we are in the bullseye on Friday, we should feel free to do whatever Vince is doing above. -

Yep, I agree with you and Chattownsnow. Can something this wound up actually get this far south? -

What the Euro is spitting out is extremely anomalous. I don't think I've seen a cutoff with this wrapped up at our latitude since I've been watching weather...let's say...enthusiastically enough to participate. Some observations though: Only 30+ hours later the situation has chnanged a lot: what is now essentially a TPV vort says: "TPV eat shortwaves!!! YUM!!!!!" But look at this, hour 126: That's so wild I'm not really sure what options are on the table. -

Remember, as a weather weenie, the most important thing you can do is to not talk to people about this at all, or as little as possible. "But they know I'm love weather," you might say! If they ask, you don't have to lie, you can look grumpy and say "Well, you saw what happened with the last one, didn't you??" Yes, I know how that makes me sound and yes I am that superstitious about snow. There is some method to this. East TN is a hard place to forecast for and as we saw, you do not want to be in the bullseye 4-5 days out. Using the Holston deflection method, it is acceptable to say to loved ones and friends when they ask "Is is going to snow?" "Yeah........... in North Carolina and Virginia." And to make this less weird, here are some gifs: -

Thats actually a good question. I’ve seen griteater post it on southernwx, and assumed it was available, but it could be only in the commercial level. -

Storm vista models. 20 bucks a month for the usually models too, but they generally populate model frames the quickest. Not quick enough to be worth 20 a month on top of weatherbell usually. I might do it next month for one month to see how weathernext does though. -

Looks like the HRRR and NAM 3km put the front onto the plateau between 3 and 4pm eastern time.
