Like off the coast s and E

I know I just reacted sad, but then again given what happened this week, I'm okay with it. What I wouldn't give for a storm like what this one was projected to be last Sunday..

While one has a better chance of winning a USSR state-sponsored lottery than getting a single GFS deterministic run to verify at 10 days out, the 0z GEFS isn't exactly self-assured of a coastal low solution either.  It hints at one, but that's about it.

Lotta time yet between now and early Feb to go bowling for Miller A's, but some of the biggest storms had such strong signals that the models locked onto them 7+ days out and remained remarkably consistent until 0-day.

Low is offshore on the EPS but still some precip(snow) for the region on the mean.

Overall the ridge position/orientation needs to change some from what is currently depicted so the trough/shortwave energy can dig and become neutral a little further west.

Midweek disturbance thing still possible.

Its been showing up on the GEFS and EPS the last few runs too. Looks like a 1-2, maybe 3" potential on the op runs. A difference in location between the GFS and the Euro(further sw/south).

Some long range models, and forecasters, are calling for a very active and cold mid Feb period, despite a warm up prior to this period. 

Maybe we do not even get a true warm up, as the East will be the last to moderate.

Folks, I don’t hype anything. But what’s coming down the pike this week is REAL DEAL cold.  
 
After our fancy winter storm exits, blob after blob of Arctic air associated with the tropospheric polar vortex will rotate through the Lower 48. Subzero wind chills will reach the Gulf Coast.
 
Single digit temperatures can be expected in northern Louisiana and Mississippi on both Monday and Tuesday mornings.
 
Washington, D.C. may not get above freezing for the next 7-10 days. For perspective, the last time D.C. spent a week in subfreezing temperatures was from December 16 to 25, 1989 (10 days). That was 36 years ago.
 
It has happened only 17 times since 1872, and only two of those stretches have been in the last 85 years. Bundle up, kiddos.
