  1. Current watch configuration makes sense ATTM. Lines up with the climo favored areas.
  2. Mt. Holly hoisting watches. The language definitely signals a moderate to high impact event:
  3. Matches my thoughts well. Coating to 2" for I-95, 2" - 4" immediate suburbs, 4" - 6" in the elevation favored areas, maybe a few 6"+ reports if you get a combo of the three items you listed above. Amazing how we're tripping into this event. First time in awhile I've seen the GFS take the lead on anything.
  4. Yes. Jan 26, 2011 was the best example of how we "win" with a marginal airmass. A rapidly strengthening storm that flips to frozen precip as nightfall occurs. Of course, that storm was at the end of January with a lower sun angle and occurred during a more climo favored time of the year.
  5. Razor close for so many on the 12z Euro. We're talking a difference of two degrees either way means huge boom or bust potential. Smart money is to bank on things being warmer than forecast at the surface. 9/10 times, if we're relying on precipitation rates to dynamically cool the atmosphere we're going to lose.
  6. 12z Euro is incrementally better upstairs, but the surface is just torched.
  7. This has al the markings of an event where there's 2" - 4" of snow on the roads, but 10" on the power lines and trees.
  8. I'll take the 00z Euro in a skinny minute. Off to bed. We live to fight another day.
  9. HR66 on the 00z GFS has a pretty sick death back right over DC to Annapolis. Legit vertical velocities at 700mb. Someone is gonna get the goods it this keeps up for another 24 hrs.
  10. This is going to happen. I finally have a weekend where I'm not on call at work, and my wife just surprised me with the last tickets to the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King in Frederick Sunday evening. I've never seen this in theaters and it's the last showing in the entire state.
