I like where we stand as well, verbatim that is, about 6-7" of snow, SV maps 4-8 DC and Baltimore at hr 99. Would be some snow and sleet, better than 18z, and juiced, I agree with matt. All frozen event for sure, sfc temps are colder. 

 

it is like 23-26 most of the storm I think...need soundings....DCA goes to like 34 well after the precip ends and then drops again

actually, it didn't. It was the 1st model to forecast the watch criteria storm while the euro had zilch. Later, it jumped south while the Eruo still had little. Only in the last 12 hours did it win when the euro somehow decided to go wet.

H20 was being sarcastic. I was just joining in. I know it did awful.

at BWI 18z GFS, .38" falls through 1pm with surface at -3.5 and 850 at -5.3 but thickness is at 541 so there's a warming layer likely above 850

at the end of the next 6 hours, another .38" has fallen, surface at -.2 and 850 at +.4 with thickness of 540

better than 12Z and probably 3-4" before taint of sleet hits

even less zr this run I would think too

I think the precip is over by the time the temps get above freezing.  I'd be a little conservative with the snow totals compared to the 850 temps as there will be a warmer layer above 850.

Would think 4-6" event Baltimore city this run, and of course only for posterity

This is showing the trend from the 12z run........kinda cool.
