Preachlet me get this straight...
One run of the GFS at like 200hrs out shows an arctic bowling ball swinging to our south and dropping 15-20 inches on NC. While literally every other model didn't and never did. But we can spending 50 pages discussing the possibilities and hope for a "trend" of the anomalous arctic trough to cut off even more anomalously and getting us back in the game.
But hoping for a 20-30 mile trend north with frontogenic forcing on short range models when some of them are already showing an advisory event is lunacy? When we know from past events that further north/stronger precip shield on the northern boundary happens all the time. lolz
