When looking at yesterday's 06z GFS run bringing a 1060 mb high into the north central US and a giant trough covering nearly all of the United States, I thought it would be a fun idea to keep track of the craziest GFS Fantasy Land images. They can be anywhere in the United States, and can range from hurricanes, blizzards, extreme rainstorms, arctic cold blasts, ect.
Today's story on the 18z GFS is... North Pole invades the United States:

Today's 18z GFS run is definitely big enough to be posted here... it's not every day that you see a sub-970 mb storm explode over the region with over 2 feet of snow in PA/NY along with freezing temperatures and strong winds:

Sure, you can post any GFS fantasy image you want, as long as it's in the hour 204+ range (hour 192+ for any GFS runs before this summer). -------------------- Visit my weather website for the NYC area

Not too wild, but a pretty impressive precip field considering it's only 992mb.

I'm pretty sure that regardless of what the GFS Fantasy Land shows over the next few months, today's 18z GFS will be the winner for the most extreme eye candy
18z GFS: The North Pole relocates over the Midwest, new ice age starts 850 mb temps are off the scale:
