Honestly couple more ticks and we might just thread this needle and time something just right

I hope your right. I haven't been paying much attention to this one but it looks promising if Lucy doesn't yank the ?. Seems to be the theme this year.
 
The best hail Mary play we have on the play call sheet is via way of upper level wound up low type deal, cause its the only way to generate the Cold we need. Gonna need the rates and we can maybe luck up and continue the streak of never being completely shutout for a winter. Next 24-36 hours will tell the tale if this is legit or unicorns. It has legs imo.

My biggest caution is the surface reflection on the Euro and Canadian need to come on board. The ULL needs a spike of energy from the SS or somewhere

The GEFS and GFS are mostly by themselves here w/ big snow totals into the coastal plain + piedmont. The snowfall means are gonna be heavily skewed by one or two big members. There's really not a ton of support for snow outside the mountains & foothills, likely because it's too warm.

Really need the upper low to completely close off about a day sooner than currently modeled and tilt neutral-negative & slide across the I-20 corridor to give folks in NC a good hit. We're a long ways off from that atm.

BL issues obviously and still need some help, lots of help but it's better than nothing for now. Still a shot someone sees snow fall at least if we can get this ull to come to fruition. ULL always wildcards

And a very good shot at thundersnow with a strong ULL as depicted.

Agreed but again we had that silly GFS run a few days ago that sent a cutoff low barreling through south GA. It’s interesting to see things trending back towards that southerly solution. It’s got about as much of a shot to verify as my Bucs do to win an SB next year without TB12 but hey…

If this trough really pinches off like the GFS/Ukmet/Navgem/ICON show then the mountains could get absolutely plastered. foot plus totals would be possible. Non-mountain locations aren't out of the game but will need a strong/cold 5h low and heavy rates to overcome boundary layer issues.

Let's hope the 12z runs today show some consensus on the cutting off bowling ball scenario and we can work from there.

If it comes to fruition I'll be booking a cabin in Highlands, NC for the weekend. 4,000 asl shouldn't have any boundary layer concerns if we get the bowling ball in the right spot.
