I'd start worrying if I was in Montreal. UK was the best run on any guidance in over a day and then the Euro is a 60° disaster. 6z GFS and ICON are also NW. The writing is just about on the wall IMO.
I get some nice front end snow to serious freezing rain to some snow on the tail end. Would be a wild weekend. I do like the thermal profile. Mid levels still warm and surface stays cold as you'd suspect.
