Next Sunday situation looks a little more coherent on the Goofus, still a viable option

Ukie looks good

Only goes to 168 but did look like there was a shot

Should the 29-02 not materialize ... there is also, albeit vague due to the long range, a signal emerging for the 6/7/8th off February.

That's one of the sickest patterns I have ever seen on that 12z GFS run

any shore denizens see arctic sea smoke this morning ?   

one of the most breath taking spectacles I've ever seen was a bitter cold dawn back in 1983 ... Standing on Front Beach in Rockport.  the sun illuminated the dance of steam-nados as they sinuously moved past one another in ghostly silence.  Sometimes merging...some times disagreeing - and their arguments resulted in both disappearing..  It was like looking at a ball room of waltzing spirits.  It's truly and amazing sight.    But things have to be just right.  It can't be windy.  It's like only subtle movement of deeply gelid air as it passes over a glassy calm sea surface.  And the horizon sun's unobstructedly penetrating its corpuscular rays through the scene.  It's a very fragile moment, but an arresting vantage of natural art in motion.

It's about as potential saturated as Earth can really produce.   It's really rather remarkable that the GFS so cleverly devises means to maintain gas and match at such close proximity, yet nary do twain shall meet

We'll see about that... I dunno -   

I was talking to Das the other night, who nicely described the setting as "there should be storm right there".   Well, we're seeing them attempted...This runs back to 01/02 after losing it last run(s).  Go back yet a run before those, and there it is again.  The other guidance have been more and less guilty of the same frets and starts.  The consistency is lacking ...yet.
