I don't think we'll miss this watching it all go south of us.
However, the best forcing initially is "trending" south, at least on the models. The first burst of snow associated with the frontogenesis is actually targeting DC south. We still snow but not at the rate it will further south...initially. We end up with more as we snow longer and hopefully with less mix, but he's not completely wrong in that aspect.
It's also very possible that the thumpiest of the initial thump moves back north as well.
