gfs a little more qpf in the dc area... think 1-2" is a safe bet, hoping for a little more bumpage to that

Bumpage haha, yeah I agree Ian with ratios and the trends you are safe for that, plus what I said about the northern fringe which a met pointed out. The cold air will certainly play to our advantage. It does seem the slightest bit lighter as well. If we can get even close to the ETA, or at least continue the 6z trends back up at 18z and 00z, then there could be some surprises for DC + CMD. What we do know is that DT will get slammed :)

Hmmm.. I sense chaos tomorrow. If the QPF is as advertized on the 12Z runs today, with temps in the low/mid 20s when the snow starts in the morning (after school decisions are made). Not going to be a pretty site on the roadways especially if an advisory isn't issued until AM.
