The euro pretty much holds serve across the mid atlantic suggesting dc and baltimore get 3-6" with the potential for more to the north and east. the satellite imagery suggests to be that we won't get a nam whiff. http://www.nws.noaa....ge=wv&hours=24.

Hey Wes, SR's 10:1? Or perhaps could we sneak out a bit higher due to 850s near -7c? Also, if the 15z SREFs hold firm and agree with the 09z SREFs... what then?

That's why 3 to 6 is a good compromise as even if the real solution is somewhere between the euro?GFS camp and the NAM, you still could get 3" inches with .15 if the snow growth is in the right region. 3-6 is really just a wag. The best chances for heavier snow would probably be to the north and east if any nice banding were to set up.

Sounds good Wes. Let's hope the thing bombs sooner and we jackpot, but if not, who would have though we'd even have a chance at 3-6 as of Thursday/Friday. It's a great surprise!

Snow seems to be making it up to near Fredericksburg already and reports of moderate snow already in Southern Virginia. But i have seen no forecast indicate much of anything tonight around here, so either its northward progression is going to stop abruptly or some are going to be surprised when it moves in earlier than expected.
