Looks like a miss according to 18 GFS, but off on snow for a few days , theres always next weeks storm.

Yeah the GFS has not been too keen on a big one. However, it's tough to go against a combo of the GGEM/UKMET/ECMWF.

I dont think I have ever seen a coastal storm get pushed south necause of blocking, ive seen them stall but never pushed south.

Hi Steve, We do occasionally see loops with coastal storms but yes it is a rather unusual set-up with such massive high latitude blocking. The Arctic Oscillation has pretty much bottomed out to near historic lows. The AO/NAO combo will do it's dirty work with this system. Should be a fun weekend of storm tracking. I'm expecting some big variability in conditions.

Hi Tim,
I think at least the first two weeks - if not the first three weeks - will be colder than normal. As for snow chances, an active El Nino induced Sub-tropical jet stream always needs to be watched, but so far over the last several weeks, storms have been steered out to sea south of us.

Sorry to toot my own horn, but last weeks snow/rain event was due to a miss-match of jet streams.
This storm, however, has all the right ingredients: northerly sub tropical jet stream above a southerly oriented polar jet stream and a good well developed upper air trough. It also has good low level moisture source. Most computer models have this event almost Fujiwara the Northeast.
