Agree with you about big storm potential but who knows. If we're lucky enough to get 1 or 2 of these to hit they scream moderate events which is fine. They certainly would favor very cold storms. This was an impressively cold Euro run.
I think it's time to retire the Congrats too. Enough already with it. Every other post when a bad model run comes out.
Congrats Detroit, Congrats Denver. Not funny anymore.
There have been quite a few moderate and big storms that were preceeded by a small event just prior or within 48 hours of the "main event"
2003,2004,2016 just to name a few.
