So...We are still in the game?  I'll tell you something interesting.  Now, I'm pretty sure that not all of you received decent accumulation on December 8th/9th, but a little bit before the storm, the NAM showed an amount of snow for my area that would have meant that everything falling would have been in the form of snow (that's not the problem here.  I know.).  But, it verified.  Maybe some hope.  Did Justin say that the NAM showed 4-6" for Baltimore?

Here is more Berk's for ya.

Justin Berk, Meteorologist

Computer Models are not perfect!

Here is this morning's NAM Model- It DID NOT Initialize Well!

MISSING CURRENT RAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST

*Left image: 6 Hour accumulated precipitation forecast for 1 PM from NAM- It shows it staying 'Dry' in southern Georgia

*Right: Radar at 9:30 AM showing rain (confirmed by ground stations) in southern Georgia.

This is the part of the complex system that will move north towards the Mid Atlantic. Basically there is more moisture available than is being factored in right now.

Another reason I continue to not be confident in the models, overall they are having trouble with this storm.

*We will have a moderate event Thursday afternoon-Friday morning!

This NAM model is showing 4"-6" of snow for Baltimore's BWI despite current mishap.

Hmmm....

No he hasn't given any totals yet, he says it's still a

little too early to do that

And I do believe he likes the canadian and euro the best ( might be wrong)

It just doesn't make much sense. I don't think that precip even makes it to MD.. their snow comes from the additional low formation and a long-hanging sfc trough.

Ncar reanalysis will nail this storm

Ian, the ne bullseye we talked about yesterday appears to have some legs. Weak skinny wobbly legs but they are there.

Someone up there's definitely getting more than me unless something crazy happens. I guess if you cut the NAM in half it might be close.. though I'd really like to see the Euro show more than 0.1" across the area.
