Mountain friends please ignore this thread.

I've got us covered bro.

FWIW, the 18z GEFS looks good!

Wow, that prevent defense at the end was something...If only we can score a winter storm as easy as the Rams did at the end.

This. I’ll never understand that mindset from coaches. I get the logic behind it but it rarely works out against a good nfl offense playing opposite of you. Nonetheless, this is the first time in almost a decade it’s looking up as we head into an offseason. Hell of a game from McMillan, Coker, Bryce and Jackson. Get a pass rusher and we may be much improved next season.

Agreed. Here’s to a fruitful offseason!

That look on the 0Z ICON was a thing of beauty at H5. But hardly anything at the surface, outside of the Mts... Not sure why.

If only the GFS was a good model

[BornAgain13]

Oz GFS delivers another good Winter Storm for the mountains and on into VA for Wave 1

[BornAgain13]

Wave 2 is a dud per GFS 

[SnowDawg]

Idk but seems to me like on the runs the 1st one is stronger the 2nd one doesn’t work on the GFS.

585-588 dm in the Pac NW and a ULL with 519 dm into the southeast that's nuts.

If it digs more and gets a few more ticks west,look out.

Euro finally shows a little love.

12z euro. It's in the mid to long range and we've seen what the points look like but this is kind of what we want.

I'm bumping this because the Euro did pretty damn well with the H5 look at this range. Yes I was told the surface was barely cool but this is really a good indicator from the Euro at nearly 10 days out and beyond.  Surface was too warm at this range but that's been the problem for a lot of the season with these cold fronts.  Now starting today we are well below normal and possibly looking at multiple snow threats.  Some people talk shit and some people know their shit...

Euro finally gets close to the GFS and then the GFS looks awful at 6z lol

[wncsnow]

6Z euro only gave the mountains snow but cut back from 0Z. I'm sure there there will be more changes today.

Yeah multiple threats between Jan 10-20...
