From our great friend DT:

THIS IS IMPORTANT  --like    REALLY  fooking  important.  The amount of snow that the models are producing for this weekend JAN 24-25 in MD VA DEL  WV and KY...and the historic severe ice storm that threatens the Carolinas Is mind-boggling.  As I have said many times before  over the past 30  years  -  really since the arrival of the European model-   every major East Coast snowstorm was detected days in advance as a serious threat.  Even more stunning is the amount of severe cold that comes in behind the storm. With the fresh cold deep snowpack across the southern Mid-Atlantic and KY  the Monday AM ( 0z) European model is actually showing MIN  temperatures in the period January 26-28  well below zero --even in Richmond and Washington DC and into NW  North Carolina. Just mind boggling. 

The event begins Saturday which is now only essentially 5 days away because after all we have to get the forecast out by Thursday  and Thursday night. !!!  

There is still of course some variation here. it could shift for the North and which case we would see heavy snow going over to a major ice storm in the southern Mid-Atlantic and the major snowfall  would get into  Philly New York and Southern New England.. But  due to the nature of the upper air pattern that seems unlikely.   I will be  doing  be video updates  every days ...maybe 2x a  day ...starting this evening and of course there is the NEXT 3  WEEKS Newsletter. 

As the new models come out and new data comes out I will be updating frequently over on my  BLUESKY. I may make some posts over on Twitter but Twitter as you probably know is overrun with Bots and fake accounts and it's become just a monster shit show.

sounds north of 6z and in line w/ nooner trends...agreed?
 
This winter like most winters I would prefer to be on the northern fringe until 36-48 hours beforehand. This winter it's gone down to 12-24 hours. Most of our huge storms have followed the same pattern. Tonight and tomorrow I'll see what I can dig into regarding forcast days in advance and north trends just to confirm it isn't confirmation basis. The other interesting feature I glanced at was that the swing from bad luck to good luck seemed more often than not to be a pretty big storm. I want to put some quantitative numbers to that though.

Yeah based on 500mb flow, safe or too safe is more likely for this one.  I 80 souther special in the makings with northers still getting warning level.  Only about 19 more model runs to go....lol
