I specifically said it looks bad down south. It was a pretty typical commute around the immediate Seattle area though... maybe even lighter than usual.

That scenario on the gfs is a legit way to thread the needle but would like to see other models support the set up with 925mb temps below 0 and surface temps 32-34. What the gfs is showing wouldn’t be “phantom snow” where it’s 37-38 degrees.

Look at all that snowcover..very impressive!

The storm on the GFS is similar to Feb 2017 but not as widespread. That was the last storm with a similar placement so we are due.

I have always thought maps that far out are akin to believing you'll win next time at a casino. Why do they even exist?
