To me, it looks like the Meso models are picking up on what the Baby-G showed yesterday. That being the confluence lifts "just in time" - this is MJ's "Blue move west" scenario in his illustration. 

I made a gif about it yesterday. Hmmm

Keep this trend up at H8, baby stepping, but in a more desirable direction.

Gotta hold that vorticity at the SC Coast from escaping.

SREF H5. Gotta get the base to swing negative.

Luv this! Thanks. The towel throwing is a bit early. Wouldn’t take much for this to get better quickly. Seems as if the miss is out to sea for sure, but this threat ain’t dead yet.

If the FV3 is an indicator of the GFS, it's possible that it's going fall short of whelming us.

Not as much dig down the spine of the Rockies as the Ole Nam.

All’s i know is it has been a great read in here the last couple days, and this one is still a possibility - at this point, so for me it will still be fun tracking to see if it comes together. If not, oh well.

100%. As others have alluded to, several pieces are still yet to be sampled, especially the s/w over no man's land. Little changes in the s/w have large implications down the line.

I stay out of the long range conversations , as they have far more weather knowledge than i do and don’t want to clutter it up. But as this one got closer i remember asking Penn State , i think, how are we getting to the promised land with this one, and he gave a great explanation. And it was a lot for the weather gods to pull off, and  i said we should keep expectations low for this one to be a big one. So many moving parts, but for me the biggest fly in the ointment was needing the trough to go negative in time. Decades of watching weather tells me that is one of the toughest asks. But geez, this isn’t far off and fun to watch play out.

I think all we need for the big storm, according to the NAM is.

Speed up the green.

Get the blue as west as possible

Slow down the purple

Deepen and slightly speed up the black.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy

And throw the ball to the water boy for the touchdown.  Sorry could not resist…

Snow depth tends to be horrible unless it's 32F+ snows. I've learned kuchera is superior specifically in colder fluff scenarios. Some may not like to hear that but it's definitely been a fact at least in my immediate surroundings, SENYS.

It's a "means" map, not an outright calculation of snowfall. 

Not to mention I don't hug the numbers, I view the trends - and that is what my post was meant to convey.

Understood.
