  1. GSP going with a cold and dry forecast for early/mid next week. Precip chances too low to mention.
  2. Looks good right now. However, it is too far out for me to believe in it. The Euro is still suppressed.... that's where we want it at this stage.
  3. No, but March 1, 1960 and March 10,1993 are both in the top 10 for the 6-10 day analogs. We all know what happened a few days later in 1993 and 1960.
  4. Nope, it's a gulf low with a perfect track. Cold is already established.
  5. Nope, only the best March of all-time. It's the March by which all others are measured.
  6. I was 15 years old at that time, and remember it like it was yesterday. We did not get as much snow as folks in the eastern areas but it was colder. 9 degrees F at mid-day with 30 mph winds and heavy snow is something I will never forget. I will probably live the rest of my life and never see that again in this part of the world. I was fortunate enough to be in Chicago during a true blizzard and it was not as much fun as that 1980 storm.
  7. Before calling this one, I am going to wait until we get into the high resolution models wheelhouse. It is close to a good front-end thump for a lot of us.
  8. 12z GFS looks pretty cold in the LR. Maybe one last stab at winter...
  9. Hoping for E-18 .... but knowing it will probably verify as E-9. On a brighter note, every ensemble from the 18z run of the GFS has accumulating snow in the mountains.
  10. I agree, the high pressure is in a perfect spot and the strength is good. However, the source region is just not cold enough.
  11. What's really incredible is that 74 reading in West Virginia.
  12. Ask those folks in Northern Minnesota if it was warm and dry this winter....
  13. One thing that keeps me from buying into the FV3 solution is the CMC.... Usually, it sees cad events very well at this range. As was mentioned earlier, either the FV3 will be hailed as the new king or it will look like the court jester.
  14. Agreed .... The FV3 Will have to have some support from the others before I fall into that camp. That being said, I would like to see it be right this time.
  15. Yeah, I don't have much faith in the FV3 in the long range. However, this is certainly the type of pattern to see a big cad event, if those highs to the north verify.
  16. 22 degrees this morning. Didn't think it was going to get that cold last night. This was a nice little cold snap, but nothing compared to what could have been if the Midwest cold would have been oriented differently.
  17. 19 again this morning. Might drop another degree or so before sunrise.
  18. 19 this morning ... 24 now. Looks like another night in the teens.
  19. I think I posted a 348 hour run of the GFS for that December storm after it was over and it was surprisingly close. However, it lost the storm only to bring it back a week out. I agree with JBurns here, we can't take a fantasy storm serious these days. I don't even get interested until it's 100 hours or less out. By 72 hours it's more believable.... but that's just me.
  20. Normally I would agree. However, I have always been taught not to get suckered by the NAM's QPF output. Especially when it's an outlier wet or dry.
  21. Only thing we can be sure of is that the colder air will be moving in.
