18z Icon was somehow worse than 12z

It looks like a foot kicking the snow away or getting ready to stomp on us.

There has been some talk about a torch leading up to Christmas.

The White Christmas fans would have loved Christmas 1969 in Augusta County.

I recorded 12 inches of snow with a high of 24 and low of 14. 

Lets do it....................................

I believe that 1969 was Xmas snow storm in DC as well.

When's the warm up? Lol

If the GFS is right and it’s a 30mi strip or so that’s gonna get the snow, we won’t know for a few days. Wouldn’t get hung up on where it is. Just nice to have something in the area.

It all comes down to the TPV piece. You can see early on in NW Canada on the 18z GFS that it is tracking increasingly to the east. That only gets magnified over the course of the run. By game time it’s already scooting out through New England/Ontario/Quebec. It was more around the lakes last run. We can win if that is, as has been mentioned, more SW. I’d guess preferably it sticks around WI/MI, digging south. But there’s no shot while it’s so far east as in this run. Not for most of us.
