@SOMOSnow Thats a lot of agreement between forecast people. I think the question is will the cold have staying power and will storms line up for ohio/midwest/lakes or will it be more east coast. We will see.

Playing devil’s advocate for balance…. He explains why the cold air keeps being delayed and may continue to do so. Like them or dislike them I don’t really care but makes sense if you watch the vid. I guess if you don’t have X you’re out of luck but for those that do…

Just for fun: 18Z GFS at end of run with TWO TO ALMOST FIVE FEET OF SNOW. It had sleet and freezing rain, too, and storm wasn't even over for part of the region shown.

I am sure this won't verify verbatim, but we need to lay some snow down to help the cold air.

The largest snowstorm in recorded history at Topeka, KS is 19" ... This is just silliness

He wasn't referring to a particular storm but a series of tweets related to expected pattern change  I hadn't even posted the 18Z or anything about any storms when he replied.

Yes, of course, which is why I said I posted it just for fun. Missouri has had some single day totals near 30 inches but nothing near four to five feet.

Yea it’s more about after this storm into January where I think the thought is the pattern hopefully starts getting colder. Some people seem to think the storm track shifts toward east coast. I’m not sure either way but we’ll see.

That's a hall of fame GFS run lol. Never seen it dump that much snow over the Plains. 2 feet? Sure. widespread 3 to 4 feet? That's insanity lol.
