Philly to Boston will do fine. Always the southern 100 miles of the snow swath that busts.

Rates have sucked here for the past 45 minutes.

Ground finally turning white both roads and grass.

Whiteout on the Gaithersburg webcam so it should switch in the Baltimore area soon.

Depol streak showing up on cc across Caroll county and southern pa.

Light rain and fog

Sleet now got temp issues both at the surface and aloft

One more thing about the Friday system is it reminds me a lot of the setup a few days after the Blizzard of 96. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1996/us0112.php#picture Edit: Throw in the Februrary 2001 setup also. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/2001/us0205.php

The high over the Carolinas causes issues with blocking the coastal formation. However, if anything similar to that H5 look verifies I'd bet on the surface low being stronger and closer to the coast, it's a pretty classic look.

If this 500mb troff position isn't good enough for a snowstorm we all need a new hobby.

I always get nervous in these anafront setups where we have to wait for cold air to come over the mountains. Models are usually too fast to cool things off. Hopefully we still get a decent event.

Gfs is a big improvement at 500mb. Digs the energy south instead of west and builds more ridging over the SE

Wide right wide left. Stupid run. Next
