First Call Map

I'll have more on my current thoughts later today when I get a chance. I also want to see any shifts in the ULL track and timing of vertical stack with the SLP. Some changes may occur in the next 24-36 hrs for my forecast, but zones should stay relatively the same. 

Can we move that pink about 60 miles east?

I see you have adopted the Ellinwood grey zone of despair. :P

Yeah. It is strengthening that backside potential on each run. But the hopes of an all snow bomb to the west is pretty much over. I won't be making fun of the NAM again anytime soon. It was the first to pick out the realistic amount of ice out this way.

Yes, the NAM does a lot better than people like to admit!

Any wrap-around snow east of the Shenandoah Vly would be insignificant. The GFS overdoes that in these scenarios. the boundary level temps will be mostly above freezing, and it may even mix with rain at times, so nothing more than a dusting or coating.

I can tell you’re not a glass half full kind of person. Any wrap around is always a bonus!

Good to hear. Gotta change how roads get treated before it’s too late

The use of brining during pretreatment has shown to reduce the use of salt by 75% over just post treatment.  So the brining is not the enemy. It is part of the solution to the problem you are concerned about. 
 

also beat juice is high in sugar and leads to algae blooms in the bay so it’s not really a solution either. Also bad for aquatic insects.

The storm hasn’t happened yet. We can’t determine which was right until the end.

If they can curb sodium usage in any way shape or form it will help. Damage is already being done due to salt piles being dumped on roads. The data on what’s showing up in the watersheds due to it is alarming

That trend on the 12z GFS towards more of a coastal low dominance could make the outcome much different if the storm slows down a bit, I read the commentary here before running the loop and saw a somewhat more optimistic potential, mixing looks brief and I could see how this trend might lead to an all-snow outcome. You can follow a center of low pressure up the coast developing offshore and heading for Cape Cod. Halfway house to a much different outcome? 

Interesting to see if Euro goes in this direction also. My first call would be 3.5" BWI, DCA and 5.5" IAD, 8 to 15 over regions northwest of DC to ROA, about 6-9" CHO. Some sleet and max temps 34-38F, dropping back to low 30s, mixed showers for most with 3-5" upslope in wraparound. Results, some snow left on ground in metros and 3-6 frozen pack further west, slow meltdown Tuesday-Wednesday with a few more passing flurries.

So you’re declaring the NAM correct on Friday morning for a Sunday evening storm. I might have to ponder that one a bit. B)

Not just the nam man. The gfs and cmc look almost identical to it now as far as boundary temps go. I guess it could be wrong.  But not likely with everything else moving towards it.
