I think that storm is real and models will be jumping on it. Potential is huge

EPS support. GFS is suppressed south and east... I've read this book before.

Wow, with that kind high/low pressure gradient would be an all time great wind storm.  Maybe like Feb 1978.

[deathstar9]

Probably won’t happen as depicted of course :(.

Here's the high pressure on that European run

My fiancé is going to be sick of me checking on this 50 times a day for another week straight if this really gains some traction.

If I recall correctly, gfs had this a few days ago - it was the only one - then lost it. Good to see it coming back around

[deathstar9]

Another moderate shift on the gfs and its talking something truly historic.

There is more than enough time for positive trends, todays storm had trends leading up to the very start of the storm.

I've been describing to my girlfriend the details of how this last storm was coming together, mid level warming, primary low location, how excited I was about the thump, what a snow weenie is etc. and needless to say she was bored to tears lots of "ok uh huh" and  then saying lets just watch the show Nobody Wants This. Yes, the sacrifices we make to make them happy lol

Anyway, looks like another week of tracking. What a refreshing winter this has been after like 4 ratters in a row.

Dude that's basically there lol

[Winterweatherlover]

Todays storm was suppressed south at this point last week, this one is east not south which always has more question marks to me but def could end up a big hit.

[Rjay]

Here we go
