Nah. WWA at best friend 

When's the last time we even had a WWA for the DC Metro-Balt, or at least a "legit" one?  Seriously, would that have been March 2022, with that short cold blast and a couple of inches of snow (some areas got more)?  I know there was the pre-dawn half inch in early February last year but don't know if they even issued anything for that (and the only measurable snow all last season!).

18Z RGEM looks like a weenie run based off the early maps, FWIW.

Also supports the WWA tonight, I believe. Better maps hopefully in a few.

admittedly not as epic as I'd thought it might be (early maps might show some virga) it still juiced up slightly. tries a bit w/ the coastal as well

3" is the number. Anything more is bonus. I know we all would take this. No one loses and no one is a big winner either. Equality guys, equality

This event reminds me a little of 2/1-2/13.  Though, this should be better.  Snow showers fell periodically over a 2 day period with temps below freezing.  Sometimes moderate.  Only ended up with 1", but it was nice to have snow in the air for a lot of the time.

Remember that one, wintry scene. This should be accompanied (hopefully by periods of moderate rates, maybe we get some 1/2mi vis SN going to help tack on some totals. I do think there will be some localized heavier stuff, especially if coastal enhancement pants out overnight tomorrow. If I still lived near Baltimore, my bar would be about 2.5” right now

The National Weather Service promised me 3-4"+ so that's my bar

Anyone ready to keep the fire burning with the GFS? Or are we due for a shit run with 2” totals only DC and south? :lol:

As one who's suffered in the SE FfxCo lowlands with mere "fattie" snow flurries for about 15 min earlier this afternoon...I'll take a shit run of 2" over the next 48 hours.  :)  Although the warnings issued forth from LWX are definitely encouraging for tonight and the next day or two, as well as the end of the week.

Anyone know what that RRFS experimental thing is?  Hopefully is sucks because it’s the only thing that has looked consistently awful for our area. 

I tried to use it for our last event and it crapped out before we got 24 hours in, but it showed a lot of sleet and I got a lot of rain, so it's not a magic bullet. I do think it is "supposed" to be the latest and greatest short/hi-res model, though.

It’s not. It has a lot of work to do imo.

Just smile and be happy, that's headed in the right direction. The NAM Nest has raised you from 3.5" to 6.3".     Wow!!!   If this keeps up You may need to get your blower out!!!

It’s best to ignore the NAM. Actually the totals further south seem safer. It’s all from the initial band. Further north it’s a combo of getting fringed by wave 1 and 2. That’s the kinda stuff that’s risky. NW of 95 has more upside but also more bust potential is the initial band sets up south like non NAM guidance and then the coastal doesn’t get going in time. Would leave places NW dry.
