Yeah, I agree. it is VERY PROMISING. But in the interest of timing and other issues which have worked against us in past events this year, its best to take it one run at a time for now.
In other words, DON'T get excited just yet.

Agree... we need that clipper system to bomb and become our 50/50 low first... THEN we will get our storm.

(repeating) pieces of proof and then I will actually believe the GFS. I would love to believe it more but it is impossible with its junky track record...
Hmm... true.. but this time, for once in a million, the GFS seems to have struck gold...

Yoda, I am interested as to why you have so much confidence in the GFS this time. I am listening because you are usually the snow cancel guy here in D.C. You usually are the one saying no to snow chances, especially when dealing with the GFS. You are also usually correct my friend. I am looking at it too and have decent confidence, especially if the clipper bombs.

Re: 0z GFS says Snowstorm POSSIBLE for all EAST COAST...
The GFS' timing would be consistent with the idea I expressed yesterday that "Possible amplification in the closing 5-7 days of the month might heighten the risk of a significant snowfall." However, at this juncture, one should probably view the possible snowstorm as raw potential.
It's encouraging that there is model support, but the pieces still need to fall into place. Having said this, I do believe the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast will see accumulations of snow over the next 10 days, but it's too soon for me to get into amounts.
