We're within range of WPC's Winter Weather maps.  Issued about midnight last night.  There's gonna be lots of changes early on.  So, FWIW...

Woke up at 5a and couldn’t sleep.. and actually got excited to check models. 😆

I don't know. I kind of like where we sit now. That could be my "glass half full" versus your "this is the reality that I have known and seen in Ohio and it sucks" mindset. LOL. As long as some flakes are flying and it isn't warm and gross and raining.. I'll be happy. Now would I like a repeat of a few years ago? Uh, duh.

The GFS may be an outlier right now, but it's the one that makes the most sense physically. I don't expect the ensembles to catch on to the movement of the cold air in the Plains. That's what's forcing the storm south.

Aside from having a storm cut to one's west, this week's cold overnight lows and near average daytime highs should either freeze the ground or put a serious chill in it prior to whatever snow falls.  I'm not a fan of snow on mushy ground.

Ouch, the 6z EPS has taken on full blown UK. Those of us under that lakes system which is the purely dominant system in this scenario would torch (relatively speaking) out ahead of the front.

No.

That's all. LOL.

Well, you couldn't have timed that more perfectly. 😜

As compared to the 00z, I'm not sure what it would take for the southern stream to become dominant over the north, but we need it here. There does appear to be a few more ensembles with the Texas low scenario compared to 00z, but certainly the minority

Lol not sure why I'm having so many problems quoting on mobile, but anyways I like to see those surface lows in Oklahoma. Would expect them farther south, but it does mean something closer to the GFS is starting to be picked up. Quite the flip on the EPS tho.

The only thing worse than having a storm cut to your west is having a storm completely cut to your southeast. 

I would rather have the far SE option that keeps me cold.

Maybe post this in the "Let's Fix Thing" thread to see if anyone else is having a problem or knows of a fix.

Still such stark differences in the arrival of the artic air. Models need more time. It’s useless to pay too much attention to micro features. Like Bernie says, “don’t get caught up in the wash.” If I was patient, I’d wait 3 days and then peek at models, but where’s the fun in that?! 🤪

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but this is exactly what Bernie was alluding to…he anticipated over the next few days there would be serious “windshield wiper” effect with the models, going from an extreme eastern scenario (coastal) to an extreme western scenario (above).  He believes the end result is in the middle. And I hope he’s right lol.

lets hope, my "extra" concern lies in that fact models suddenly grabbed on to this idea the last 12 hours or so while the UK really had it all along. Now that's not to say they cant all switch back together....but I felt more confident/comfortable when models were in utter disagreement with each other. 

 

I hope he's right as well!

Just curious to see how it all plays out. Conventional wisdom tells me the lakes and OV will probably see a nuisance type system (1-3"?) with a stronger system into the northeast.

I think as the system draws closer the worry is going to shift to if it tracks too far west than too far to the east.
