Gfs looked more amplified, but nice trends thus far.

The big question remains will it tap into arctic air?

I’ll take less Arctic and more snowy, but it needs to tap into some cold air.

Not there yet for the crazy cold blast, but perhaps the GFS is too extreme. There were nice improvements on last nights run and this morning. Perhaps they continue.

It is showing snow for Friday.
