Wintry December 23-26 2022 Winter Weather and Cold

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the ICON do a good job with the February 2021 outbreak?

I think I remember everyone getting pissed off about it being the first one to hold the arctic air west, but I'm not sure if that is what you were referring to.
 
I mean here is the 12z GFS next to the 12z Icon for Friday morning, maybe it isn't crazy, but continue to prove itself to be a pretty reliable model...

ICON is likely overdone, but I think the differences is also due to timing of the front. NAM is around 20 here at the same timeframe, but NAM is slower than GFS/ICON on the frontal passage.
 
Energy coming in.

0Z GFS not horrible. This is the frontal band, none from the storm itself!?37F2B11D-46B7-4C28-A420-0361FE1BF4F6.png
