Poorly.  Very poorly.

 

Appreciate your thoughts.

Everybody always wants to say how well we do out here, but the fact is we only do well out here in two situations.  1) Marginal temps which is almost totally elevation driven 2) wet systems that are west of us sending in large amounts of precip over cold surface air.

 

The rest of the time.......not so much.  Anything from the NW is a risk of a total screw job.

Very true.  As you always say, precip is the biggest issue for us.  Seems like we are always on the edge out here unless it is one of those western track storms.

 

Saturday looks exactly like the summer scenario cold front where convection dies coming over the mountains and refires at the BR and east.  I'm in even a worse spot as for some reason any convection usually dries up just south of Winchester to about Middletown.  Yesterday I left Middletown with whitened ground and wet roads and by the time i got to the Drive-in Theatre in Stephens City the ground was completely dry.  Appeared as though almost nothing fell.

12z RGEM meteogram for DCA suggests ~5mm of snow... or 0.2 QPF approx

RGEM has backside enhancement from a 994 low at the mouth of Delaware Bay. Euro showed something like this some days ago. Not sure I buy it but would add to the fun if it goes down like that. Snow would be falling after temps are dropping like a rock.
