It always warms my heart to see the snow depth maps posted here, but this is not the type of event for which they do well.    They limit accumulation when surface temps and soil are warm, and they'll never capture the ability of heavy rates to overcome marginal thermodynamics.     I'd probably either average the 10:1 and snow depth products or mentally adjust the 10:1 maps downward.   Kuchera maps might be good too - I hate how generous they are with colder temps, but they seem to properly limit accumulations when the temperature is marginal.

I also would like the compromise. We historically do well with a low in S WV transferring to ORF and moving ENE. colder on temps just slightly north with features. 

Even though it was a pretty good run, do we close this and open something new before 0z to get the Euro to meet the GFS right where 18z was?

Better for norther folks accumulation wise. Def drier tho.  I lost like 8”.  Shut up  RR

Trust me, even in that scenario you wouldn’t have any difficulties finding suitable dates.

Judging from the trends, the slower this system is the better it is for us. Faster means warmer in this case. 

Not sure which way this is going to eventually break, but I don’t like being on the southern 1/3 of the snow area. Learned that lesson on Jan 7

Don't forget the increasing sun angle between 10:30 am and 2:30 pm.

Already trending faster no? Most recent gfs is catching up w the euro.

Bro. I shit all over this threat and it appears I will fail badly. You need to start all storm threads going forward.

The Washington DC Metropolitan Region will get obliterated by snow just as surely as Bruce Lee obliterates this chump

This is a good post.  I need to know what I'm looking for during pbp.   Slower....northern stream out front...separation

@brooklynwx99 in the NE forum said the 90h 18z Euro looks more GFS like than previous runs. 

compressed flow making the vector of the h5 energy pretty similar since the Euro has it W-E and the GFS has WSW-ENE. 

I've seen it and he's right.  I didn't comment because it stops at 90 and I'm not in the business of try to extrapolate.  It does seem a bit more compressed

EPS certainly has more confluence and has the vort more held back. another move towards the GFS
