Anyone think forecast amounts need to be bumped up?  Could you go 8 to 12 in DC?

 

Not this year, or with a marginal boundary layer.  Public isn't going to notice if there;s 10" when 4-8 was foretasted. They will notice if there's bare pavement.

You guys are focusing too much on the moisture content and not the temperatures themselves.

 

As I've been told, water-laden aggregates (clusters) of snow don't accumulate effectively, which makes perfect sense. You just get a slushy mess. 

 

It'd be different if temperatures were a bit cooler.

lolz...we kinda know it isn't early February dude. If it was, this would be two plus feet. But there will be more up here than "a slushy mess". Good lord.

Weenie question: the latest models/expert nowcasting - when will this thing start ripping in DC?  I went away for a few hours, and it seems to have switched from a "mostly tomorrow" storm to a "mostly tonight" storm.

 

I'm a few drinks in, need to determine if I should moderate myself :)

I'm not saying the event will end up "a slushy mess" I'm just stating that's what having a very wet, heavy snow in a marginal temperature environment tends to bring. I do think there will be substantial snow in DC, but probably not over 6" like most are indicating, and definitely not over 9", "dude".
