Hurt feelings run, lol

Wow congrats Carolinas. Their snow drought has been worse than ours of late.

I HATE North Carolina. 

[TSSN+]

Plenty close for this range. I can tell you one thing, it’s not going to look like what that run has in the end. 

[NorthArlington101]

Meh, was a little more left. Actual storm total w/ Kuchera just to juice it up a bit

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Very close for 150+ hours,  changes will happen.  We’re in the game. 

[soadforecasterx]

Cant be upset about this look. 

[bncho]

if this low ticks west 200 miles then that's a 980 tucked low off of the delmarva

Yup back that NW like 500 miles and kaboom 

[Solution Man]

I think we will like the final outcome, we may score

[stormtracker]

If both of these things end up failing, I think the worst sting is that....we'll have all the cold air we'd need for snow.   And wasted.

It’s always good to be in the bullseye a week away. Works out everytime.

You new here? It’s kinda what we do best.

So, just like most of December.

192 has a broad trof approaching, we need that baddie to sharpen up tho.  Let's see...

[bncho]

The good thing about the 12z GFS is now we have a model showing the high potential this system has. A 985 low forms just off the outer banks and gives them a foot of snow. It's still 7 days out... but I am starting to like the trends.

The upshot. The takeaway. The deal.

[stormtracker]

Hmmm

[wxmeddler]

Not a bad place to be a week out.

[Eskimo Joe]

Looks like the GFS/Euro try to get the MJO into Phase 7/8 border by 1/20, then hold it in 8 through mid February.

This is correct. I always post the most informative maps, and they are never wrong. Ji never cancels winter, he's the most patient, poised one out of all of us.

[stormtracker]

GFS may be up to something here for the Cape timeframe..
