Oh it didn't just hold serve it upped the game some more. 850's colder and 540 line nears. 32 at surface even comes into southern pa.

thanks for info... I am more concerned about precip then temps right now. Don't get me wrong temps are a problem too...but wont matter if the heavy precip stays east of the area. Plus with my elevation here about 1000 feet I can usually do well with marginal temp situations if the precip is heavy.

Plenty of QPF this run 1-1.5" I am betting snow map off Accuweather will have 9"+ for you and me.

I think right down to DCA would snow looking at the WSI maps and not just the hills. A definite real good 6 hour period in there with maybe a little more on each side, though this time of year with this type of marginal airmass anything light in rates won't stick or may even mix back with RA- a bit.

I wouldn't bother looking at the wunderground snow maps...those always look like they were drawn up by Ji. But I think the Euro would give DCA accumulating snow. I don't think 4-6" would be impossible on that solution for DCA with 8"+ possible at IAD. Of course it has to work out perfect, but the Euro is close to just that.

Remember, you can have the hardest rates in the storm, but aint going to do crap with a ground temp of 38 and road temp of 42.

~Snet form a deivce that cannot speel.

That stuff has all been said before and doesn't ever matter really. I mean it was 50 degrees and raining for OCT 29th storm last year then dropped to 33 and we got 6". Road temp was like 45+ the day before and still got covered.

Also here is the 0Z euro snowfall based off of accuweather pros map.

And now the 6Z GFS goes way east. These models are having one terrible time with this system. Unreal.

Seems like we have seen this before (Sandy). Euro keeps the storm closer to the coast with a subtler turn to the left whereas the GFS takes it out to sea farther with a more drastic turn to the left resulting in a farther north solution. And thinking about it didn't the NAM do this as well when it came to Sandy?

I would wait until the 12z runs role in. The GFS is probably too far east, but even the euro ensembles sort of kept best QPF to the east of 95 from my crude maps. Euro was interesting though..lol.

The overall mean looks pretty near the op maybe 100 miles east from what I seen. Don't have qpf maps for it though. I seen JMA was pretty big hit as well. Rough forecasting for mets around here.

Let us see how this pans out but if the Euro were to verify on track and strength that would be a pretty impressive 2 week run for it. Locking onto a solution 7 days or so out and then running with it for the duration. Don't have access to the precip maps so I am not sure how the Euro did on that as far as verification for Sandy. Does anyone know?

It wasn't far from the op though. I may have to warn about the S word to clients as crazy as it sounds. LOL.

Everyone at penn state thought I was crazy back in Oct 2009 when I said to people it was going to snow 3-6" on campus. Even my professors were like ya maybe an inch. We got 6". Seems these early season snows are becoming more common. We just had one last year again so hey why not.
