72 doesn't look too bad at all, NAM gets everything going just in time. Perhaps the heaviest of the QPF may be exiting portions of the region but looks like the system wants to close off at 850mb too and we get some pretty decent VV's at 700mb. s/w energy at 500mb is quite potent. Would have some pretty awesome lift.

That 3-6 hr window looks fun in parts of SNE...say 00z through 05z or so.

Yeah it looks like is absolutely rips from around 00z (maybe a tad before) to 05z here. 2m temps even get to freezing at 75 hours here. That extra vorticity made it juicier overall and warmer to start, but it really let things go to town on the back end.

Something like the NAM isn't hard to see. A low that is sort of flat with mostly rain in SNE and then changing over to snow rather quickly as the low develops quickly off to the east. The NAM does inject some srn stream juice which is helping the intensification process out, and not sure if that will be real..but the idea seems ok to me. This isn't all that far off from the 00z euro which seemed reasonable.
