I've been too busy (and sick) to look at any runs too closely, but in general, I really like that regardless of what happens next week (first or second chance), it doesn't look like our window is closing anytime soon.
Verbatim, HH GFS has MBY below freezing from Friday evening through the end of the run. 10 days plus. I’ll take the under, but could be an impressive cold stretch.
Yup. Need a bit more breathing room but if you flip through the last 5-8 GFS runs, you can see very clearly that the Jan 6th Storm sets the boundary (train tracks per @Bob Chill) for the 8th. That’s why this run is closer to a 2-fer than 12z. But I’m good with 6-8” with some frigid cold.
That’s the snowiest in several years I believe. Doubly impressive when it’s all after about D6-7. Mean for the 8-10th window is almost 3” alone. @Weather Will’s 1” odds will show 80-90%+.
As (some of us) we know, a big event takes some luck even with a great longwave pattern. But odds for something continue to increase. For an epic month, some small events and a big dog are a typical combo.
