Meh. We have a DCA-esque precip hole down this way.

 

Yeah, not sure if it's legit.

cold air not entrenched/deep enough so you have less lift going on

we know the feeling....for 3 years now

 

Is it that simple? cold air has sunk more south and I have less qpf

NAM's got the coastal thing going at 75 hrs which is holding in the cold at the bl

Huff, lower levels are cold but it's not deep enough (height-wise I'm talking) but that's just my guess

actually, if you look at the sim rad you can see the band with the best lift is north of you

Yup... fascinating sounding at DCA at 84.  900mb is +12 and the surface is 32 degrees

There's our NAM.  1" QPF all frozen through 9z.

Ice storm city.

 

As you noted by 21Z the temps (DCA)  at 750 was 2C,  at 18Z it's only -0.7C so it's advertising a changeover to sleet pretty shortly after 18Z.......19Z maybe if the model is correct.

Haven't seen soundings-- we were getting some snow from prior runs. How deep can it get?

"Real-deal" look to this; I haven't been this freaking excited since something like 2010.

This has the look of repeatable and stable modeling.  Far freaking out, dudes.

The NAM presents the CAD as robust and stubborn.   I hope Home Depot

still has better quality ice melter, my lawn and cat don't want sodium chloride

ice melt.  The good ice melter is going to fly off the shelves if it hasn't already.
