I'll take the 12z NAM in a heartbeat. This is a relatively fast moving system, but it falls at night and could give folks a surprise 3 day weekend. What's not to like?

It “isn’t a warning level snowfall” is typically the issue for the usual suspects. Not sure why that’s become the bar for so many. A nice 4-6” event far inland with 2-4” closer to 95 is still a nice snowfall we should very much be welcoming - especially in a setup that typically goes wrong for our area

I just want the grass covered, 4" of snow. Also, potential snow on Christmas decorations!

The good news about this one so long as the track holds up is that its mostly pretty chilled this week and cold leading into the storm. We shouldnt waste many flakes.

I'll save this post for the next time we get 8" of snow and you get none. 

I guess I should say IF that happens.

I don't complain about something that is not expected in the first place - you should try it! Someone 100 miles NW of DC getting 8" and us zippy is as likely as the sun rising in the east

Lol.  Ok.  Pretty sure we average 2X your snow.   So we should expect to be blanked by a SECS? 

We are 70 miles from DC btw.

i'm ready to sign off on the nam.  i don't need a blizzard right now.  northern stream systems can work (like they can work in iowa).  we just need a good vort pass underneath us to allow for a little bit of atlantic influence (gulf tap is a bonus).

We get lucky on the NAM. It could easily screw us with its jump to the coast. It would have to be timed perfectly for it to work out the way it is showing. I would much rather have a consolidated storm passing through southern VA for us.

Agreed, the ICON is pretty ideal and the 6z GFS would do. ICON was a great run just a few minutes ago, but can the GFS follow suit. Definitely 2 ways to fail, Miller B screw job or RGEMesque de-amped progressive system.
