huh?  When did I make any prediction?  There was a post that the EPS was less suppressive.  I made the observation that it trended south with both waves.  It did.  Someone kind of questioned that so I posted proof.  I made no prediction at all.  

Cool. Couldn’t necessarily see that in your post. It may well end up right. But something seems off here. The biggest flag for me is that the NWS and HPC don’t seem to be weighing the euro heavily.

I don't know what to make of it honestly.  I was never buying into the idea that this was a 12-18" snowstorm like the euro was indicating 48 hours ago.  That seemed off.  I said that once or twice but I didn't want to take a crap all over the party so I mostly kept it to myself.  But I was expecting it to come back down to earth and show a more reasonable 4-8" type storm.  But now it has swung to the other extreme.  The GFS has certainly been less jumpy with this but it has been subtly trending south also.   I still think what I did several days ago...that this has 4-8" snow written all over it...but where exactly the focal point for that ends up is the catch.  I guess I favor the further north guidance but seeing the NAM/Euro so far south with the more significant second wave really is troublesome.  Hopefully as I am typing this the NAM trends north a little and that would make me feel better about tossing the euro.

Hopefully this isn’t the case of the NAM having that one run that’s just too juiced close in. But that’s at least encouraging for Baltimore. Stays all snow up here at least 

Yeah important to remember that the NAM was holding on to a better storm for us just this past weekend for longer than other models.

That warm nose is becoming more pronounced with the NAM.  We get a step forward with more QPF and then 2 steps back with a stubborn warm nose on this model. 

Yeah, if I had to choose I’d take the .25 QPF on the euro at 30 degrees over the 0.8 on the NAM of sleet/white rain for round 1.

At 42 wave 2 is south, maybe it can make up some ground though.

Yeah, it's been really persistent about that for awhile now.  I hope that's not necessarily correlated with the now notably higher QPF amounts (for first wave)...i.e., we can only get higher precip if we get the mix around this area.

It's a pretty thin and high up layer...so at least when it does mix its probably sleet/snow mix.  That looks like several inches of snow and a significant sleet mixed in there also...which can be fun.  It's better then a couple inches of snow and then dry slot or freezing rain imo.  There is also the chance the NAM is being to aggressive with that but just saying I don't think the NAM is a complete disaster for DC but if it can be just 1 degree too warm in the mid layers...youre looking at a great THUMP.
