Does anyone know anything about these guys?  I notice they frequently have extreme forecasts several days out.  For example, right now, they are forecasting a four-day snowstorm in the DC area for December 28-31, totaling 28.1 inches in DC and 33.1 inches at Dulles.  See http://www.weathertrends360.com/Dashboard/Dulles+VA+3381:ST.

All I needed to see was, "Captain's log, Star date..." to know all that I needed to know.

Don't know about those guys. I'm inclined to think that those snow totals are just based off of last night's GFS run though.

I think you're correct, as now (13 hours after my opening post), they are showing no snow at all for DC and just 1.2 inches for Dulles in that same four-day window!  Hard to believe that any weather organization that wants to be taken seriously would simply "forecast" the most recent GFS run.
