All of this talk about the sun angle... I bet someone at sea level on the Delmarva gets 7 inches from this easily. What will be the explanation?

 

agreed.  the sun angle wasn't why it was a a rain/snow mix last storm "at night".  that's why we had accumulation issues imo, not so much because of surface temps.  i think we just missed out on the rates we needed.

Everything looks way better than 3/6.  The soundings are way improved over 3/6 at this range just overhead.  I have a feeling we could see DCA break the 2" barrier.  This is about as perfect a track as you could ask for to break the 2" mark.  We keep northerly wind component throughout the storm, which is key this time of year.

3/6 stacked and stalled to our south and blasted us with east winds.. something doing so further offshore is going to give better air.

You say blasting easterlies. But it looks more northeast, and it looks more like a measly 5MPh. This thing has way lesser wind magnitude than 3/6.

still, the airmass is pretty similar leading in. today was warmer than the day prior to 3/5 and tomorrow might be a few degrees cooler than 3/5.  everyone excited about the dewpoints now must have forgotten how low they were 3/5 http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KDCA/2013/3/5/DailyHistory.html

Your friend JB2 has been talking all day about how this storm will be much different because it will be a north wind not easterly like 3/6.
