JB and DT both are in the 4-6, 4-8" side of us. 

but to bubbles point, temps are cold, but not THAT cold.  At height of storm (ish), here are 700s.  Not supportive of 20:1 IMO.  12-14 as he suggested is more reasonable.  

Edit: Norther westers may get backside fluff factor, but not round CTP IMO.

Thought this would be a good time to make a rudimentary snow map for ole times sake. Apologies for the crude map design. Doing this on my phone, but still works good enough. Each area is a zone with a first call forecast. Might have a few edits later, but this could very well be my only call. 
 

Forecast

Zone A: Nothing-1” (Trace begins north of Potomac latitude); Up to 2” possible if everything breaks right

Zone B: 1-2” w/ max to 3” if everything breaks right

Zone C: 2-4” (Highest across Parrs Ridge; elevations >600’) 

Zone D: 2.5-5” w/ local max of 6” (Highest along the M/D Line and elevations >850’. Lowest in elevations <275’ in valleys)

Zone E: 5-10” 

Catoctins: 4-6” w/ max to 7”

Hey guys. Thought I’d stop by and provide my forecast for the coming event. Looks like PA is solidly in my Zone D with a small piece in the Catoctins. Liking 3-5” for much of the subforum. Min of 2” and max of 7” in the highest elevations if everything broke right. Think 3-5” is a good call for the time being. Let’s freshen up this snow! :weight_lift:

Her reply....."this is bullshit".

GFS transfers to the SE Coast quite early and the resulting SLP remains fairly week as it traverses Northeast fairly far off shore....snow map below but a note of caution with this one is that it requires the coastal influence to get these levels in SC and East PA.    Technically there is no snow in those areas when the lowest level of pressure moves offshore.  Would probably be some snow with the 500 pass but probably not this much if the coastal scoots faster.   Miller B fun.

Looking at the Icon at 120hrs, I wonder if that rain on Tuesday may start as some sort of frozen on this run or future runs. It's building a 1040 High into Quebec.

Disco already mentions this...albeit brief, that 1047hp might cause a pause in the warm that will eventually ensue.

Nams fairly similar to it.

coastal sounds like its the only real rug tugger for us.  I'm hoping for SLP in WVA to hold together as long as possible (based on progressive flow aloft and lack of trough in east, but thats wishcasting.  Coastal is largely a miss for most...even us far easters in CTP land

Welcome back Jon. 

I'm sorry for the public bickering I took part in with the trolls. I didn't mean to add fuel to the fire.

My break had nothing to do with the regulars. It was the outsiders coming in with their bullshit. they didn't come in peace. Seems like they're gone now.
