One thing to say about the EC is that is not a total a strike out for a future run. The juice is there, and the pattern would bring it this way if a trigger can come along.
The 0Z GFS is similar to what I am looking to happen. A wave forms at the tail end of the front and changes us to snow as it pulls down cold air. The 6Z has the wave forming much farther north and is no bueno. But the chance is there.
LOL, when you are talking more than a week ahead you better cover all ends. I do. LOL. I understand his way of thinking but he woofs a lot more than the average dog. If he and JB were in the room, no one coupld get sleep.
It has seemed to be the theme for several years now. Even if they hit a roadblock and transfer, they get too far north for us to get straight powder. It is why I always mention GAG because it is so rare that we get straight Gulf monsters recently.
Still only 39 here. Would not be so bad if not windy as well.
Euro is back to winding up the Mid-West Low but signs of it being blocked and "trying to" transfer are evident on this pic....just no cold air to take advantage of that even if it happened. Messy Turkey Day for much of the eastern part of the nation on this depiction. It goes on to almost stall and intensify into a sub 970 SLP a few panels later. The transfer does not happen like it does on the GFS.
After pointing out how bad it was yesterday, back to the well on the GFS with the "Bubbler is not a Turkey" long ranger keep an eye on Turkey weekend thought. Still not what I am hoping for with a trailing front SLP but the GFS does block the Mid-Western Low now and turn it into a Miller B snow for area north of us...with some leftovers for the LSV Sat AM. Still think it bears watching and is our next meaningful chance of accumulating snow in much of PA.
I do remember those phrases and thought there were fairly common but maybe it was due to me listening to him so much? I use variably cloudy all the time but not considerable as much anymore. Spot on with your childhood cloud coverage thoughts. Variably cloudy was never get out of school cloudy.
