Pattern Jammin January 2023

Gfs more amped system but also stronger high and it still doesn’t have onset ice. Yes 50/50 isn’t big there but again the pattern is progressive. Icon has the system very weak and further west. One any precip even gets here WAA takes over and that high will not be in the ideal location. Insitu may help in aiding onset ice for the mountains but anyone outside wouldn’t score. No need to argue on 1 ICON run there will be more.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. Precip is less than 12hrs away from CAD area's on the 180hr icon. The GFS has no 50/50.. the ICON has a 957mb low. That high pressure isn't going anywhere on the ICON. Even the GFS with no 50/50 low and our system being 10x stronger and going to Chicago we still get early onset ice east of the apps.

Warm nose ruins it for Central NC. Changes over to rain. LP hugging the close too closely.
 
For me to get excited I want to see a nice ULL form coming out of the plains with a bombing 50/50 low. The Euro/Icon/Ukie have it. The GFS and CMC have the ULL but no 50/50. ULL driven snow is always the "easiest" set up we can get as long as the track is favorable because it helps to pull in its own cold air on top of the CAA feed and CAD driven low level cold.
