I like our chances for the NC mountains and SC mountains plus N Georgia for the 7 th storm.  Looking like there is a high chance from what I see.  

I wouldn't call it a high chance, but certainly still a chance. Looked like around a quarter of GEFS members with over an inch in those areas. Enough of a signal to bear watching but it's gonna be a close call.

It needs more spacing, especially from behind with the western trough dropping in. The wave in front needs to get well out front and amp up in the 50/50 region to increase confluence and give just enough cold to work with. And the trough behind needs to trend west/slower to stop heights rising too much in the east inducing warmth and an inland track. Odds are probably 90/10 against us at best, but what else have we got to talk about.

12z ensemble trends were in our favor for the long-term. Jan 7-8 should be watched but I just don’t think there’s enough of a cold source for snows outside the mountains, regardless of track. We want the trends 12z took from a synoptic perspective however for the longer range. Suppress the CPAC high and push everything further east. With an active STJ we will score eventually as long as there is a cold source. Doesn’t need to be earth shattering cold either

18z GFS a little to warm outside of the Mts for next weekend but the 18z GEFS trended colder with a minor event. Should be an interesting system to track.

I feel like one of these systems is bound to feature front end wintry mix eventually, even if relatively minor

Looks pretty good after ~12th-15th timeframe

Then when we get to 1/12, we'll have kicked the can another two weeks down the road and saying "yeah, it sucks we lost the first 1/3 of winter but the pattern by the end of the month looks promising." Why does anyone put themselves through such torture. The snow line will be north of Kentucky in 5 years or less.

With that said, the 12z Euro had 15/50 ensemble members with accumulating snow in the foothills and western piedmont (I looked at KMTV Martinsville VA since it's close enough to the mountains but is still considered western piedmont. So there's that, I guess.

It will never get that bad in 5 years but it is getting harder and harder getting snow in the southeast.

12/7 thought this morning. (I'm hoping a fantasy smowmagadeon shows up on one model run so I can renew my wxbell subscription lol)

Wishcasting at it's best, but you put a 1030-1035mb HP that's showing up on the Icon/GFS and put it on the CMC and you've got a big storm. 

GFS/ Euro being somewhat consistent with it's output is very concerning, however there hasn't been much support on other guidance with that particular output. (And the Euro has been wishy washy with the LP track as well)

Snowdawg mentioned most of what needs to happen yesterday, but i would also like to see some tracks of the LP digging even more and tracking slightly off the coast again as opposed to inland, with a solution of a more robust HP. As many have said, the cold is looking marginal AT BEST, but it can still line up.

As of this post it's essentially the UKM/Icon/CMC vs GFS/Euro in terms of overall storm progression (with some runs of the Euro on the other side in terms of track, not temps). 

As Han Solo infamously said, "Never tell me the odds." I'm pulling for this storm until I can't no more.

That system on the 4th is starting to trend back towards maybe delivering at least a light snow for some ahead of the admittedly longshot that is next weekend. I know last year has made us all jaded and as pessimistic as can be, but I do think it's good to remember how out of nowhere sometimes decent little events can sneak up on us.

Uhm I thought the Midwest and Ohio Valley saw less snow during an El Nino? This looks more like a La Nina clown map

You should be happy that we are building a deep snowpack to our north. You know we have to get their snow in place first. That way we can have a winter storm here. At least, that's what I heard.... lol

The thought did cross my mind..I just hope we get one good area wide storm.
