I feel like the snowfall totals will obviously not be as uniform as you get from the operational world models. We will have a strong fronto band it seems with intense lift. Where air rises, it also has to sink somewhere as well. If someone can sit under rates 3-4" for a good two hours, it would be amazing. I'm simply hoping the subsidence doesn't set shop over me lol.

4km NAM is 8-12" SE PA. 3km 5-10" same areas. Of bigger note is the sizeable jump N on the NAM with the slp. We salvage a snow event because the system is deeper and more consolidated/dynamic. Impressive lift. Hopefully just a blip and not a trend.....we dont need a stinking N trend in SE PA especially right along I95. We already saw the door close on our DC friends the last 12 hours so......fingers crossed for us. Still thinking NW burbs jackpot.
