I know the GFS usually stinks more than 5 days out, but it has had a huge coastal storm progged for the 17th for 2 weeks. Now I know what you're going to say...and for the most part I agree, but if it pans out with the NAO going negative, we "could" have a bomb on our hands. All we have to do is wait for the TV guys to start the hype.
