ICON is a swing and a miss
Appears one of the critical time frames for the differences between ICON and 6z Euro Control is around 18z Monday. At this time, the Euro control begins to create separation in the northern stream while the ICON does not. Translates to a focus on the first wave of energy and doesn't hold back as much.

I think this is what we want (in eastern sections), we just want more of it. The more the northern stream can separate and move out ahead, the more it will press the height field and allow cold aloft to move in ahead of the system.
