Not a weenie post, genuine intrigue: wonder what, if any impact the warmer than usual ocean water might have on the storm (death band, more juice to work with, etc.).
Better ratios north side. Actually looks like colder push helps northern side a bit more because it's a quicker flip. Consensus seems to be advisory level event south of I-70 and sharp increase to warning level for US 50 corridor.
South of I-70 get accumulating snow. South of I-66 to US 50 gets warning level snow. It's an improvement for these locations. Good luck north of there, at least the Canadian/Euro/GFS have snow north to Mason-Dixon.
