6z GFS is a little bit of a hit.

Well here's this storm.. we have a 1030mb High over the Great Lakes. +NAO is bringing the jet stream a little north though

+NAO/-WPO/-EPO's can be icy. 

A strong High holds in southern Canada for a parade of storms on this run of gfs.

Very intriguing run.

Is there anything to push that boundary south next weekend? Otherwise it looks to be setting up heartbreak. After a cold week,  Great snows just to our north on the 6z GFS. That wouldn't be fun.

Based on my observations this season in general warmth has trended a little colder this year once we’re inside of 5 days so I’m not mad seeing the boundary modeled a little north.
