Canadian does best with CAD right?
Canadian is a cold biased model so yes in the event that it is aligned with other guidance as far as H5, Storm progression, and track then it is a good model to use in the day 3-7 range for temp profiles. GFS is awful with CAD, EURO is in the middle, all models tend to under estimate it. NAM and 3K is good to look at for thermals within the column itself once in range.
 
The Jan 6-8th setup reminds me of the December 2003 Snow/Ice Event. The Low over NE is certainly weaker, and the ridge over the northern plains is stronger, but the potential for snow in the foothills and some icing north if I-40 isn't a stretch if models persist.

Mountains sitting pretty. Might be one of those winters where there’s snow on the ground for most of the month along the spine. Gonna be some chase opportunity soon.

Jimmy, I’ve been waiting watching the mid week and weekend system coming up. Looking like a Maggie Valkey, highlands, lake toxaway for now. Watching closely
 
At least onset. Temps are hovering right at freezing which is fine at this range on the ICON. We were going for a Miller B depending on how long and strong the HP is and can stay in place as the 50/50 was deepening but still sliding off to the NE
 
We’re still running into the northern stream being too progressive which is going to have HP placement issues and the overall strength as modeled right now isn’t great either. We don’t need a 1040 but a nice 1030-1035 HP would be more than enough. One positive is we tend to speed our S/W up the closer we get but still
