Good Evening All...

A good chunk of the Midwest and Ohio Valley picked up snow the last two days with blizzard conditions in 9 states.  This is building the snow cover we need next week as COLD Arctic HIGH pressure(s) start to invade the lower USA.

Snow Cover before the blizzard yesterday shows nice cover in the West and in Canada. We are setting up the next few weeks very nicely.

Ahhhh lots of snow and ice up north as temps have dropped to -50 in Siberia and Alaska.

So we have the signals....we have an active Southern Jet and we have a fresh snow cover to keep it cold...are we ready for storms? You bet we are starting next week. Ahhhh computer model guidance time.

The NAM has the right trend but we'll see in a few hours on the new set of runs.

The GFS would be snow for many and this would be a perfect come Christmas morning as NJ PA MD DE wake up to a winter wonderland.
