6z NAM looks less diggy through h30, more progressive wave in a flatter trough. But in the spirit of Randy, let's wait until hr 42 or 48 to really make a call. 

When it’s all said and done, more moderate precip associated with a weak LP that tracked into S WV produced QPF amounts similar to 18z over the CWA. verbatim it’s 2-4 for most and some upside to 5” for the NE MD pummeled crew. 

on paper, it’s a solid run. Only concern is the base of the trough and our s/w pass was slightly north of the past 2 runs in a broader/more positive tilt. We’re coinciding with a good UL jet for moderate precip, but don’t want to see too many more north trends with the vort/axis today (Wednesday).

One thing is for sure the ground going in will be quite a bit colder than the last storm. Multiple days below to well below freezing and snow-cover...seems to me this should stick to pavement quicker than the last despite falling during the day. I'm probably wrong and wish casting since I missed most of the last.

6z ICON looks decently moist.  Would be nice to get this precip in closer to 4-5 am to maximize the accumulations.  If it comes in closer to 7-9 am it’ll be lower impact. 

Does the timing with daylight really matter in mid-January?

I always thought it’s much more of a factor in late February and March.

It does, depending on rates and temperature. But it's much, much more forgiving than late February and March. If it snows decently and it's in the 20's, it will stick without a problem.
