After watching these model runs I've come to the conclusion that there's not enough cold air available for anything but marginal,thread the needle systems in recent winters. Receiving significant snow is like playing pick 4 lotto
Haven't put alot of stock in the Canadian. Always thought UKMET better at verifying. Icon somewhat similar will see if UKMET and Euro move towards that.
Storm tracks once established love to stay that way. Would be third system for Eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania etc.. Then another coastal on the 4th possible
Yeah seems to be a somewhat consistent track over central to east central IA. MSP been looking good for several runs on various models. Will see if that holds up.
Been a -AO during most of this Decembers suck fest. Not sure tanking -NAO is great for anything but clippers and watching storms for the lower OV and Noreasters. Could be good for downstate IL and Indiana though.
As depicted the GFS front end thump band won't produce the results its showing in LOT. Will need deformation band to swing through and stay all snow to get anything over a few inches.
Euro is bad this year but its track is similar to the GFS which gets a bit wonky late .Cut it over Des Moines reduce the absurd qpf amts by 50% per usual and good start for MSP this winter. Pattern should resume El Nino look with hopes further south in OV and eastern Ohio into the NE. That gets you to mid late January.
