right off the coast of omcd? pretty much benchmark correct?

40/70 is lat/lon for "benchmark" for classic noreasters/snowstorm signal.  Verbatim map you shared was 200miles wsw of that location.  That is called "tucked". 

Since you new, take notes....too old to have to repeat myself

That would be great for us verbatim. Significant CCB, comma-head action. 

like you/others stated, long way to go here, and while the nooners look good, as antecedent cold is not stoudt, yeah, nails gonna b bitten down here (assuming GFS has a clue....)

To me, the Euro got a good bit closer compared to where it's been.  I think it's finally starting to see it and will come around in days ahead.

wasnt that the case for our late Jan snowbonanza?  me thinks Euro played catch up.  GFS was sniffin early

GFS was laughably off with the precip shield over Panama City on Tuesday of the week of that storm, I believe. 

 

Euro had it early, GFS came late.

GFS is reintroducing Boxing Day nightmares for me - what an epic bomb for the immediate coast though. 

A couple of inches for the LSV, a couple of feet for the eastern seaboard.

I think this would qualify as heavy snow:

yes SSW was to be peturbed, and if so, would not show up at lower levels (lag time).  MJO wasnt horribile looking but NAO was going notably + and trough west often means ridge east.  Hoping things sort out a bit better moving forward.  

this weekend looks rather nice.  

Thanks buddy. I've been looking at the weather for a long time so i'm used to seeing disagreement, but something seems different this time. No one seems to be noticing or saying anything, so it must be an algorithmic thing on my end. It's like all of a sudden over the course of the last ten days i'm getting data from parallel universes. 

I've been keeping my eye on the weekend storm. I'm letting some food digest before I step on the roller coaster.
