12z looked better?

There is better separation with southern wave so idk. You’re probably right though. Hard to say. This definitely all favors NE of course. I might decide to chase it if it becomes a big event. Haven’t gone anywhere this year yet

One day we’ll see a cold smoke storm again. But yeesh it’s been a while. If our January storms hadn’t happened outside of prime daylight hours the burbs might be at 0” this year.

That second January storm was the closest thing to cold smoke imby. Temp never got above 28 if I remember correctly

Friday definitely has potential. If we get rain in a 986 off ORF the week of PD, that says a lot… maybe we will this one in 

If this psuhoffman storm ends up anything like the 2011 psuhoffman storm then I’ll be happy to call it a winter.

As I recall that one also initially looked rainy but then had great dynamics.

As we quickly move forward into late Thursday, Thursday night and
even into Friday, there remains a timing and track discrepancy
between the models with a more vigorous low pressure system. The GFS
still wants to bring a low pressure system across our region and
spread rain showers throughout. The Euro wants to delay the low
pressure system until more of Friday and shunt it farther to the
south near the Virginia and North Carolina border. The GFS would
translate to mainly rain, while the Euro opens up the option of some
wintry weather. For now, the flavor is rain and timing more so
on Thursday. There is a moderate confidence that higher
elevations in the Appalachians and Blue Ridge and perhaps along
the Mason-Dixon border could encounter some snow or a wintry
mix. Temperatures on Friday look to be cooler for the most part.

Irony is the tactic I used to identify that storm doesn’t work as often anymore. Back then I was simply hunting for a major h5 amplification to our south. I used a “rule” that in a split flow blocking regime you typically see a system exit with about the same amplitude and latitude as it entered the CONUS. So I identified that we likely would get a fairly amplified h5 low to track just under us and went hard for snow regardless of marginal temps. That method doesn’t work now. The last few I identified that way ended up just being perfect track (h5 anyways) rainstorms.

I know my kids have a really nice sand box but would you please get your head out of it. 

lol. Even on a nice wintry morning you are still exhausting to deal with. 
 

PS. Thanks for not rebutting anything in my post ;)

I absolutely agree. And then that will get the reverse jinx thing going of course! Do it!
