Yes, the 00Z GFS and ECM seem rather to have swapped places, with the
GFS now bringing in zonality and the ECM not.

Having said that - the EC appears to drag relatively warm air off the
continent to what we might expect from such an ESE'ly:

Wouldn't that depend on what the surface temperatures are at that
particular time - with little influence from the sun temeratures could
be at or close to freezing at ground level - and not particularly
pleasant right on the coast?

Yes. That's at 850mb, though, and I imagine that it would be pretty
chilly near the surface.

I would agree, 850mb temperatures rise significantly but the boundary
layer/surface temperatures remain chilled, especially in the east.

As I said Jon, classic SW'ern style blizzard, big wet flakes with an
isothermal freezing layer.

TBH Jon I'm not that bothered, I'm happy with my 7"-12" (depending on
altitude) really!
I just don't want any mild air.
