Nice. Thanks. I like where this is going.

You can clearly see the flow backing up retracting offshore and over the North Pacific.

Sixty nine...Broadway Joe Willie Namath beat the Dayton Triangles-Colts franchise in Super Bowl 3 on Jan 12. It snowed that day...then some more over the several days after that...then some 3ft over a 72 hr period from the 25-27...and then a couple more days to polish it off. Something to that effect would be pretty neat.

FWIW, the CMC looks real promising near the end as the jet retracts.

Even simple observations are valuable.

That ain't nothing compared to last years earthquake. That was a fun one to experience.

So we’re now going beyond the clown range of the clown range to look for something or what?

We've been doing this for a while now, not sure what the surprise is here. The reason behind it is...largely boredom, to be fair.

Also day nine isn't in the clown range.

I’m not talking about day 9ish and not reference to your posts. I’m talking about earlier discussions going into end of January. 30+ days out.

Sorry, I should made that clear when I posted that. I had no idea you were doing the usual late night run.  

I usually wake up in the middle of the night and play a little bit of catch up.

Thats what they're saying on the news!

Things are looking up for January. And models are showing things like 5-7 consecutive days in a row producing snowfall which is indicative of a very active pattern. Only few months in this area have done things like that.
Feb 2019, Dec 2015, Dec 2010, etc.

Cascades should make up for time, in no time.

Gonna have to wait until next year to break that record.

Here's some notes on pretty impressive stretches of snow at my place.

00Z EPS... looks like the jet starts retracting in the long range but the pattern still does not look like anything close yet with troughing where we want ridging and vice versa.

Had a low of 28 and currently sitting at 29 with some clouds. Finally some winter temperatures!
