in the mountains, sure—the winter storm warnings will go live tonight. but most of us don’t live there and will get 2-3”.

Nah. I think you will do better than that. 

My Final call:

3-5 for everyone in this subforum with 8 inch jacks in elevated areas. Maybe double digits up around Deep Creek.

Hopefully we may not need to. Ensembles on all models have been zeroing in on our sub and looking more stable. 

Most years I’d be very nervous. But this year there really hasn’t been any north trend once inside 100 hours. The storms that did shift north all did it way before now. Under 48 hours the trend has been south really. Obviously every situation is different but the seasonal trend does matter some.

Don’t tell Boston about trends within 100 hours.  :)

being under a watch---like seeing the words Winter Storm watch and my county...electrifying!  

Back in the early 00s, with no Internet. You'd listen to the NOAA Weather Radio right as you get home from school. You've noticed that morning the forecast increased the chance of snow and the temperatures were lowered. A few wisps of cirrus were hanging low over the western horizon. Suddenly, a short pause in the radio. Then you heard it, "the following is a statement from the National Weather Service......Winter Storm Watch in effect."

It's coming.
