I like this storm. Probably have room up until 36-48 hours for a psuedo-major surprise.

I don’t know about major. The prices were there for a big storm but the tpv is elongated over the top. We needed it More centered at 50/50 or split. The wave is pretty modest with almost no stj. So not sure this has the high end it could have. But it wouldn’t take a big adjustment to suddenly see 3-6 maybe even 4-8”.  Slightly more amped wave. Sync up the two waves a little better.  Possible.

Psuedo did a lot of work in my head that might've not translated. I think a smart bet right now would be 1-2"... but the 4-8" or @Eskimo Joe's 5-9" pronouncement of earlier seems like a feasible shift with 3 days left still.

00z RGEM is a loser unless you are on the PA/MD border.

Ugh. That’s not good for anyone. Even up here I never want to be on the southern edge of a northern stream wave 72 hours out. That is bad bad news. Hopefully gfs uk and euro don’t head that way. Ggem always matches the RGEM so don’t expect anything better from that.

i wouldn't even be worried if trough consolidation is the issue right now. seeing the weaker confluence from the NAM, ICON, and RGEM is a big deal and is something that can't really be fixed that easily if it's crappy. however, look at today's system at the same lead time:

Soooo.. The good news is that Thurs, going into Friday at 2-3am, I have to start driving to Florida to catch a boat for vacation... Using standard Murphy compliance, my needing to drive on 95 means that this snow will definitely happen.

I'll probably be ok though, right? I mean, I am not too worried about plowing through a few inches of snow.

There's almost zero chance we get 5-9

Yeah, seems like you’ll be okay leaving at that hour.  Have a great trip.

Would take, but don’t love being on the southern edge. That’s never where you want to be

yeah, it took a lot of precip away further south. the 0.2" line used to be down by RIC... they now get maybe 0.05".

it's slightly wetter where it hits, but a scary outcome.
