CMC only has about a 4 hour lull out here. Pretty much snows from hour 36 to 74. And I get a whopping .8 total qpf out of that. One thing that seems to be coming into agreement from the models is less than an inch of total qpf from this through Friday. Pretty paltry for a 2 and a half day storm.

That sounds great to me honestly. I'll gladly take another long duration 6-10 event with plenty of more opportunities behind it.

3.8 at DCA, spread over 5 or 6 days total. LOL. Other urban hear islands in the northeast have done more than cash in.  Just give me decent temps at all levels and I’ll take my chances with QPF.  Systems this season have not been moisture starved. Not going to fret about a 0.1 change from run to run. I will fret if we are at 32-33 but have that extra 0.1. 

Good thing that's not true.

This isn't a clipper/pure NS shortwave. Even with QPF spread out, I'd be willing to bet in real time that it's pulses of moderate snow and not a pixiefest. Moisture source is the Pac down by Baja and the gulf. May not be great ratios depending on a lot of things but I really doubt it's a drawn out flurry event.

My victory bar for this up here is 4".  Just freshen up the snowpack ahead of all the ice coming over the weekend.  Fail is less then 2".  

I'm trying to keep my glacier fetish at bay but it's not working... I stinking love complete coverage with a 1" lid of ice/crust on top. Takes forever to melt out and keeps grass covered till the bitter end.

Isn't it like 5-5.5" up there on the UKMET? A pretty forgivable "mistake" to round that up to 6-10" considering that is the result in 90% of the region.

sorry... you are right and I am being nitpicky. But i literally make maps for a living so needing to read them correctly is a pet peeve.

but sorry all the same.

Kinda splitting hairs here.  I think you'd do 6 with over .5 precip.  I didn't use the snow map but I will work on my map reading in the future.

It's about 5.5 qpf for our area....that is very likely about 6 if not 7" of snow with the ratios we will get up here.  I do think the characterization of a general 6-10 storm for the PA line south on the UK was accurate, bad map reading aside.
