12Z GEFS: members 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 22, 27 (7 of 30) have a further SE tracking low than GFS:
5-8, 10, 22, 25, 27 have notable snow outside mtns, with 6 of these 8 having a further SE low track than GFS (your best bet):
Mean snow through 1/11:
Except the warm SW winds at the sfc on the Euro AI: look in GA
For same time on Icon in GA, they’re cold NE winds due to much higher pressure to the NE (more typical). That’s crazy disagreement! It’s fascinating to see that they’re opposites!
18Z Euro AI similar to GFS with 1-2” snow in good portion. This is another run with the unusual OH Valley low, which allow for warming SW winds, unusual for having a low in the Gulf. So, this allows for sfc temps to be warmer than usual when having precip with -3 to -4C 850s and thicknesses of 540:
Furthermore, for the SE and especially compared to the last few years, is that really all that light? 0.5-1.5” over a pretty large area. Not anywhere near major but significant.
I’d bet heavily that next week will be significantly colder than both 2/3-9 and 2/10-16 in the SE overall anomalywise. You should be happy because you don’t like cold unless it’s snowing and it usually isn’t snowing when cold.
