Yeah this being total events does make sense. What makes February the snowiest in terms of amounts because it just seems that February has more 6in plus events and more 10in plus events in Charlotte as well

This isn’t a very cold pattern, but it’s not warm at all either 
Growing up only a few miles from that airport I can tell you that is a pattern that can produce there with the right set up

I'd rather have this than have arctic cold and dry.

Those are Seattle type temps. Not overly cold but consistently chilly
We’ll that’s promising, Seattle has been the spot the last 3 years ??
I agree with you. I think if we can actually get at least 2 - 3 weeks of consistent 40's during the day and upper 20's to around 30 at night before the end of February, I think we have a good shot at scoring a decent winter storm. Like @Rain Cold and others have said, this isn't the snowiest of patterns, but at least we have a chance at something this winter with this pattern.
At least with a pattern like this if a threat does come up, we don’t have to hear about warm ground temps
lol what even is the icon spitting out

ICON use to be fairly decent. It’s been horrendous lately though.
Oh shoot.... verbatim if 850s are cold enough this is a pretty good look given it’s PBL warm bias !

Hahaha I like that outcome but I still think the ICON is fairly bad. We’ll see!
Dang! The GFS parallel pumps a huge ridge north of Alaska! That would definitely push down Vodka cold!
Another model that joins the further south camp.... should be interesting to see what the other 3 do

parallel gfs for threat 1 of several to come this month..next weekend 
I think the GFS-P has a cold bias.
Full latitude trough taking on a neg tilt way too early.
Absolutely pouring, the ground is mush
If we can lock in a -AO west based NAO for most of Jan, game on. Still somewhat chaotic vs a stable omega type, we have no less than 3 systems to track over the next 10-14 days, precip is and will be there, can tracks align with boarder-line thermals. I don’t see KU potential yet, maybe breakdown late month.
