Both the Canadian and the Para GFS have significant events day 8. 

The GFS was close but with a more inland track... if the EURO shows something around then,  we might have a storm to track....

I know IT’S NEVER GOING TO SNOW AGAIN EVER EVER EVER but this is a solid look:

Euro is all by itself with the no storm idea 8 days from now. Gfs/gfs para/ Canadian/icon are all very similar with a significant storm. 

[wncsnow]

Too much northern stream 

[CUJO38]

Nothing but a gut feeling but I believe we will have a storm or two In the next couple of weeks .. maybe this one will verify and we can bring this one home

It will be interesting to see who folds first

A lot of cliff diving when all of us knew good and well that Friday’s system was a reach (and knew this for days). Let the pattern get there, nobody I’ve seen has changed their tune. We need that trough to get a little sharper than it’s been. In the meantime, never trust ANYTHING that’s not a classic Miller A

850s we seem to be able to work with.  It's the boundary layers and the surface that we're still struggling to get cold. The ridging off the east coast is not our friend IMO.

I understand. It I lived in Northwestern NC or S Va I would excited. But the rest of us are hoping and praying. Just don’t see the  cold air for most of us. I would be pumped if I lived in your area but ......

Thanks guys for clarifying when winter is. I greatly appreciate it.

I understand “cliff jumping”
I understand hoping that 10-day forecasts are actually going to materialize
I will never understand why people argue with posters like@Met1985, @griteater,@jburns,@buckeyefan1 (other than her choice of teams ), etc.

It will definitely *NOT* snow with that look.

Happiness = reality minus expectations

18z GFS has almost a prefect track for central NC yet not cold enough. With the northwest adjust western NC could win.

1/19 is still a period of time to watch..  we just need a high to the north to supply some cold air.  

[CaryWx]

Didn't you get the memo today?  It's winter cancel

[lilj4425]

No posts in 12 hours...this is good. Bring on hurricane season.

[Upstate Tiger]

Well 12 GFS isn't great but not a dumpster fire either.  Will see some real cold this weekend and mountains likely to see some measurable snow.  I am heading for a 2.5 hour trail ride at Blowing Rock Saturday.  Hope to ride in a little snow.  Monday - Wednesday next week will see a southern storm.  Looks mostly liquid but things can change.  Guess best news is artic cold builds back in Canada W/O 01/18 - 01/27.  Too soon to tell where it dumps but just having the cold in Canada is a positive.  Remember, it's not over until we say it's over!.....or at least until Burns says its over.

I was just going to mention that....

To those with a lot more experience, what thoughts do you have about “the polar vortex cometh”?

I'll believe it when I see it.

[NorthHillsWx]

The lack of snowstorms on the ops can be overcome with plenty of cold air around but up until the end of the run there is no real arctic cold showing up. I don’t get below 28 degrees the entire run. I feel like the last three weeks or so the gfs has been showing arctic air towards the end of the run but it hasn’t materialized. It’s getting to be mid January and we need something to break right for us. If we waste this blocking it’s going to be a gut punch

Me too. Was reading the WPC long term outlook at they expect warmer than normal temperatures in the next two weeks. Confidence was low but it look like we will punt until very late January unless we get lucky over next week 

[BullCityWx]

GFS looked great around 144 tonight before the storm seemingly split in two.

Gfs been suffering from convective feedback issues. Which honestly most of the globals have been as well. Wouldn't really put much faith past 84 hours. 

Honestly the Canadian looks fishy at 0z

[Jwisephoto]

That storm at 384 is glorious... 

[buckeyefan1]

This isn’t too bad 

[burrel2]

00z icon had a doozy of a snowstorm on Monday. Gfs is close...
