00z GEFS is going to be an insane mean, seems to be running a tad colder, more moisture and totals are bumping up even more than 18z. Going to be amazing for many.

Its trending north though

Best mean so far on GEFS, colder this run and heavier moisture, not sure a see much of a trend north, just stronger storm this run. With a look like this we can't ask for more.

Some of these models are not handling the HP blocking all that well in this stage of the game...

Thats because they haven't seen it in a decade or so.  Its like a GenXer in a Def Leppard t-shirt showing up to an EDM rave in the middle of an Ummet Ozcan mix set.  Its going to look a little awkward!  That blocking is LEGIT!

A lot of that is sleet and ZR south of 40

This is the rare setup where someone could get 6+” of sleet. Models showing surface maps in the low 20’s with 850s torching and 925 around freezing over a large area. Once again a lot will change but someone could get a legendary sleet bomb based off what I’ve seen. Chance for a new ice age next week with southern glaciers if this pans out

Even if it is some sleet and zr, I am speaking for the fact that the severity of the situation is increasing the totals of something frozen when compared to the previous run. I am not just focusing on snow, I think it's important to see that moisture output is increasing while temps remain steady in the low 20s or teens and that this is becoming more likely a potentially dangerous storm. As modeled something we haven't seen in many years.

Crazy that we can’t get snow with temps in the low 20’s. Why doesn’t anywhere else have this issue?

Yep, 1” QPF frozen whether it be IP or SN is a crippling winter storm. Could be a foot of snow or 4” of IP it will shut down travel the same. That’s why SPC uses frozen/freezing QPF in their outlook maps for winter storms

Surface temps in the teens at the height of the event here lol

Plenty of moisture too, most of the storm my backyard is between 17-22 degrees, with nearly an 1.5" QPF being modeled.
