Not only the coming next 1-2 weeks but this Strat Warm event is making the prospects for remainder of winter look even better.
Jan 24-25th event looks good on the Ensembles particularly with the fresh snow pack to the north, system is likely colder than modeled

I'll be hugging the 00z EPS b/c the OPs are trending more progressive with that system.
