The Roanoke radar shows snow shut off throughout most of that area too. Have to admit, it's not looking too good for much of western Virginia. 

 

Yea it doesn't look great, but you'd be surprised with how the mountains screw with the radar signal.  A traffic cam in Fishersville (btwn Staunton and Waynesboro) shows pretty low visibility.

Nice. Hopefully your folks pull this out. And the CCB should pivot back through regardless of the dryslot making it there.

I think anothe big take home is these type of storms other then 2/10 tend to trend north

The lack of confluence this time vs. that time should have been the key. If not for the insanely strong S/W in Maine that time funneling down dry air, NYC would have had 20"+ along with Philly and DC.

was it not also funneling down colder air than what was anticipated as well?

Euro doesn't add up, it doesn't even look similar at initialization lol

I believe Ryan Maue had a tweet recently saying that the euro runs much earlier than when the data comes out. Maybe that's the reason why there are differences in what you're seeing.

Yes, which goes with dry air (cold air holds less moisture than warm air). The dry air ate the snow up right at I-78. But that S/W which drove the dry, cold air down then was much stronger than for this storm, which is pretty much a Jan 1996 in strength. A system like that can overcome a weaker system driving in confluence.

The euro pretty much comes in last for this storm. No consistency at all

Yes, overall pretty disappointing. The one thing it got right was the very deep dig it made from Texas through the Gulf Coast, which threw the models off into thinking it could be suppressed.
