NAM ends up spitting out 2-3" of snow on the front end for YYZ.

RGEM looks like it may be even more generous. For this to work we're going to need a constant flow of dry air out of the Ottawa Valley to make evap. cooling possible.

Other than with GHD #1, has the RGEM ever pulled a coup?

Congrats Alpena (and they are not even under a WSW at this point).

APX has been pretty conservative on forecasting with the consistent differences in the models. ECM and NAM have been hinting at much lower totals than the farther west tracking GFS 6" or less which isn't even warning criteria for us up here. A 50-100 mile track change will have big changes in where the snow will fall.

The story of the winter has been the questionable thermos. This storm is no different. There aren't going to be historic snowfalls with such terrible ratios. With that said we can still sit back and enjoy the extreme low pressure and unique setup with this system. There will be heavy wet snow in a zone of high wind giving way to a short "blizzard" period for a select few. Not to be forgotten is the severe setup on the southern end of this system. I believe there could be a few very strong tornadoes in the South which may end up being the bigger story.

Missing this one is definitely nowhere near as painful as previously feared with the models in general no longer showing the crazy QPF amounts and big dog snow totals in the cold sector.

Not to mention the models have really backed off with the Siberian crap behind this storm.

Looking more and more like a run of the mill 6-10"+ storm.

Only thing special with this one is the blowing and drifting and power outage threat
