If this NAM is right Emmitsburg is not far enough for me to go. May just cancel and stay home, chasing to central PA not an option technically during PA's covid restrictions.

I'd wait until the 12z GFS and Euro run through before making a cancellation. Or maybe even 18z.

NAM is a disaster, again. Precip doesn't even make it up here until 7pm, and I flip to sleet by 10pm. 

     You sure about that?     Both the 12 and 3 km versions seems to have snow in your area by 2 or 3pm.    (I'm commenting on the precip timing, as it does look like you will go sleet.)

I said a while ago a lack of precip could be an issue even for those with good temps and was told the models all showed “plenty of liquid” and “this thing is juiced.” LOL

As predicted, those with decent temps will waste precious time with light rates and spitting snow. That dry slot is massive. 

The dry slot is now a problem here because the track has shifted NW.  It didn’t get dryer it just shifted the heavy qpf up into PA!  That dryslot is because the best WAA and fgen have shifted northwest by then because the track shifted NW.   It wouldn’t be snowing where that dryslot is anyways because there is a huge mid level warm layer and that’s why the dryslot. To simplify the WAA lift stopped because the cold has been scoured out and is no longer resisting and forcing the warmth to lift over it.  Again there will be 20”+ totals with this storm. It’s plenty wet. Those totals just won’t be anywhere near us as the track keeps shifting north.

Right, I know. These storms where we need monster rates to verify always seem to disappoint in that department.

Dropped to 30 briefly here in mt pleasant

rock creek park really does have an effect on its immediate surroundings.  even where i live downtown (but close to the park) it is a couple degrees colder at night here than even a few blocks to the east.  we got down to 32.4 here, DCA 33.

Exactly what I was thinking. I’m about a block from the park...

not to veer too off topic, but probably the most insane transition is central park in NYC - certain nights you would leave the park and within a half a block it was like someone turned on the heat.
