They may call it conversational snow, but since we don't get to "conversate" much around here in December, it's a big deal!   lol

The most important thing on the GFS run that allowed the backing of the precip field is the NS vort being a little slower. Slow it down another 25-50 miles or so and the more significant precip will likely encroach I95. 

The models have shifted west as changes to the north and west allowed the surface low off the coast track a tad west of the previous run.  Temps at the surface are forecast to remain above freezing so accumulating snow still is less likely than conversational non sticking snow except maybe on leaves or grass. However if the snow intensity were to increase then the temps might be a little colder so I’m hesitant to completely dismiss the possibility this far out from when the precipitation might start. The forecast remains tricky

Agreed. Euro showed 32 and below temps overnight Friday for many areas outside of the UHI spots. Could help with onset. Areas that start off sub freezing and get a coating going won't have a hard time accumulating with temps around 33-35 during the day. Definitely not a 10-1 ration scenario no matter how you slice it. 

Comparing the 0z and 12z eps mean precip is pretty impressive. That was a wholesale shift in guidance. .1 line is all the way out to Hagerstown/Winchester now. 0z was still SE of DC.
