Very gradient look on the CFS for February.
Agreed and don't forget the stronger than forecast Hudson blocking that models have missed. That could play a huge role in the back half of winter despite the Nina pattern.
Good for them at least. Some haven't seen snow in years
Honestly if the strong NAO lasts into Feb with SE ridge popping it could be a good gradient pattern for us
Plenty of time for things to bump north. That was always the rule in previous storms.
Usually we wanted the snow zone further south days out due to these inevitable north trends.
If models are underestimating the Atlantic blocking like they've been doing then that may not play out. Could end up shunting SE ridge further south setting up a potential gradient pattern.
