Some/many/most of us have realized that there’s going to be a middle finger screw zone somewhere with this storm as the energy transfers to the coast and the precip to the west weakens before the coastal enhancement sets up. And we’ve been saying it could be through our region. Seems like there are two places the models are placing it so far this morning:

1. DC northeastward towards Lancaster Co PA. 
2. Philly northeastward through the NYC area.

Hrrr and Euro are in camp 1. 3k NAM and FV3 are in camp 2.  Haven’t looked close enough to try and tease out what the precise differences are driving that.

10 inches vs. .55 on the season will do that

I hear you. I’ve been in Owings mills since 2018. Columbia and Dc area have had big snowfalls in that time. The most here was 5-6 inches and that took a three to four day span last year lol.  Places North, south, east and west have all had bigger single storm totals in that time. Ever storm has practically underachieved.

upon further review, temperatures are an issue for the beltway and close burbs this run. still probably a good run, but a flag.

Some of the previous runs had a more immediate burst of moderate precip in the DC area to start while on the 12z NAMs it had a bit of light precip to start. DPs are still low and 12z RGEM does look better for DC area north.

3k looks really good for those of us in the northern Shen Valley. Really nice ratios at the start. And the air is moist enough that I dont think we see much virga. Snow should come in like a wall. If we end up with .4 precip we will break 5 inches. Couple of plots at onset for Winchester:

You also predicted we’d get 2-4” Sunday night :P

Pretty dangerous panel on the RGEM. Thankfully, the band in the west seems to sort of get absorbed by the coastal and still swings through the metro, but one could see a screw zone developing.

It’s the same model that predicted 50+ inches for some last January. That should never leave your thoughts.
