12z GFS looking like a few spots may be able to grab a few inches Saturday too. That is some macho vort

When I first became introduced to forecast models and I'd see those "white blob" like -30F 850 temps I think it was from Plymouth models...I used to open my freezer and suck in the air as hard as I could to prepare for breathing in that cold

BOS perhaps gets near 50F with 40's elsewhere...but temperatures start dropping west-to-east through the afternoon...probably see squalls along the leading edge of the colder air

could see a couple bands of snow squalls moving across the region tomorrow

just based on that, the concept may be more related to placement or displacement of the jet versus the actually speed...though speed probably more of a factor in relation to jet streaks versus the jet as a whole.

Agreed 100%. I think its an interesting theory but needs alot more work. I do recall Tip having posting some studies before

I'm beginning to wonder if the fast flow stuff with respect to phasing (or lack thereof I guess) is kind of voodoo. I've been thinking more of this lately since the exchange Ray and I had a few weeks back. I mean, first off, how are we defining or characterizing "fast flow"? I would guess a certain SD above the norm? I mean during the cold season the jet stream is strongest, so its already naturally fast.

I’m just looking at the pattern and how shortwaves are moving. I don’t think it will be bone dry…we’ll have some chances to work with

12z was active…it just wasn’t want people wanted to see lol. But the upcoming stretch should be more on the active side

Active times coming up. Details TBD

That’s like saying the Giants are better than the Jets

I’ve yet to ever even look at it

That would be nice. Certainly enough time to where that is plausible...that could be wishful thinking it just goes to show it wouldn't take much. That shortwave digging into the northern Plains there may be inhibiting such a scenario?

Certainly something to watch, obviously verbatim as Will said too late for most but that is a nice stream of vorticity so just have to hope we can get a vort max to kind of take the lead early enough. Curious to see what the EPS will look like

May need the tanning oil too
