Wintry January 3rd-6th, 2018 Winter Storm The ARCC/Xtreme Weather Special

For a reputable global model to jump west that much at this late hour should tell folks all they need to know about the complexity of this setup, and also that the pattern supports a much further west solution.
So what your saying is meteorology over modelology

12 GEFS has a significant trend west.

1300m and Web great calls on the us 1 to I 95 jackpots when globals argued against yesterday, used your skill set. Loving trends, need that block to be a nudge stronger and get this pup 10 to 35 mikes futher west with precip so I can get the grass blades covered up. Course if it wants to shift another 50 to 60 and jackpot I'll take that to.

We are at the point where each model suite shifts the axis west by about 1 county's width. I look for that to continue and look much like Webber's call map after the 0z runs tonight. I still think that Alamance county will be the cutoff for anything measurable though.
 
Where's Larry? He deserves to be in this excitement! He's getting crushed by almost every model run today!? Maybe he passed out? But his analysis for his area, and other areas that are going to be seeing a once in a lifetime event, is very much wanted and needed!
 
On current radar, there is some pretty robust snow South of TX and LA! Is that part of something for tomorrow's storm?
 
Holy crap, that gets precip all the way back to the foothills. That can't be right....can it?
Probably not. It always amps systems way too much with too much precip. Just matches the trends west and where the main cutoff will be for significant precip.

Doubt it. That's even more of an outlier than the NAM! But I wish it could happen

It is it's own thing. I bet anyone off the coast is seeing a good snow! Something to note though is that no model picked this area up, and I would note that is a lot of convection in the Gulf and a lot of potential. Let's see what the result is, but the HRRR FWIW is pulling moisture way west of even the NAM. It's also seeing some other moisture and areas of precip the NAM isn't. Is it crazy, or are some going to see more snow than they think they are?

I'm on the outside looking in. But who knows, will be fun to wake up and look at radar tomorrow AM

Yeah, I agree with this, (west of Raleigh to Burlington area) will see some flurries to a dusting at the outside, jackpot appears to be US1 to me or wherever the mix line is.( just north and west of there). West of GSO/KINT will likely be SOL

Also, one would think with all that extra precip in the gulf, maybe it can get tapped into earlier?
 
I really don't want this coming to much more west because it would not make much of a difference GSO and west for accumulating snow anyway but might screw up the mix for those from Raleigh east
