Wow, GFS 
If the GFS was right, when is the last time our region had back to back WSW events in the same week?

Charlotteville had 4 WSW in about a four week period last year — it’s not too rare. As I think Bob Chill mentioned, when we get hot, we get hot.

Feb 2010 is definitely on the list. Feel like there must be something else recent.

What a glorious 4-5 day period that was. 

In West Springfield I had 11.5" on Thursday 1/22/87, then another 11" the day and night of Super Bowl Sunday, 1/25 into the early morning hours of 1/26. Fond memories.

Better question might be when was the last time DCA had back to back snow storms with higher accumulation than northern burbs in a week...

I think ultimately the consensus forecast will be 3-6" in the usual favored spots and over the delmarva, and 2-4" in immediate DC metro.

The euro drying up is the most predictable thing since the wizards losing

that last foul on Beal was marginal at best.

LWX expanded the WSW to Garrett County (which makes sense based on guidance).

Was thinking about his quotes yesterday. “It just wants to snow” came to mind.

6z Euro 2-4” for the area, except far eastern and western areas.

Ticked west for all the main features, but unfortunately that places the middle finger from DC up to me through central Baltimore and Harford counties.
