Now that we are getting closer in time frame it looks that DC will really get a wallop.  I personally witnessed the entire city shut down for about 4-5 days to deal with 10 inches of snow.  2'+ would cripple them for who knows how long.  The way they handle snow there you'd think they were in Georgia or Louisiana. 

To hear reports, they were just about crippled by light snow last night.

SOUTH if we down here are to get a significant share. We count too!

Guess that's fair.  We have started getting a bit IMBY in regards to where the storm is going.  That happens when there are cutoffs everywhere for snow on about 3 sides of the storm.

Officialy lowering my expectations to 8-12" MECS criteria in upper SEPA - good luck central and south

 

GGEM has slipped south now

Has anyone confirmed how much the GGEM had for SE PA? Good to see it alone with going south, but also strange for that model to show the least.

GGEM is not South. It is now very much inline with other guidance. It adjusted the qpf field by tightening it but H5 and slp position suggest if anything, it ticked north with those features. The models are actually converging rather nicely on a solution.

 

It doesn't matter. The cut off from the confluence knocks down the percip like a brick wall. It can only reach so far. Ideally, for a more northen solution, you'd want this thing to slow down, and allow that H and confluence to get out of the way as much as possible. But thats looking less and less likely.

It also has what appears to be a weak CCB...

It's either south or extremely condensed.  0z GGEM gave just north of philly 20+ inches.  Now it gives 11, and the cut off dropped from Easton down to Doylestown.

Slp track is very close. I think the qpf consolidated and shifted due to the ggem missing the capture....barely. I think its merely noise but I could be wrong.
