What a remarkable 850 map. A few days later the cold really pounds in, but the low leapfrogs up the coast too quickly. Get rid of the leapfrog crap, and we might have something.
It's funny, but that progression shows a gradually retrograding jet in the Pac, which would lead to an Aleutian low rather than a GOA low. Huge difference in sensible Wx here.
It was a Monday night in 1993. I remember it was a Redskins game, and all hell breaking out at RFK. An hour later it hit us. That front ushered in a great winter.
