That would be fun. Snow encrusted in ice is really pretty. I've seen it a couple of times in Iowa. Of course, it's 7-10 days out on the Canadian. Although that makes 2 runs in a row that show some type overrunning event on top of a cold airmass. The GFS shows cold air at the same time but has a different Upper Air pattern. The Canadian leaves a part of energy behind from the current Western Trough that moves to the east which then gets cut off over the southwest. The GFS pulls it through as a significantly positively tilted trough still attached to the main trough over the Eastern US. The cut-off low in the Canadian solution is clearly able to tap into much better moisture than the GFS's positively tilted trough. The key is what happens with the Western Trough as it moves east, does it leave a piece of energy behind?
and it still has snow in Oklahoma moving south after the storm has pushed off to the east... come on CMC...
