untrained eye, comparing to 12z, it looks like 18z heights out front are slightly steeper and the trough is slightly more neutral allowing the surface to be slightly (just a tick NW). 18z Precip shield seems a bit broader 

Your username just got a jingle stuck in my head.  I approve of your analysis though.

Can't hate that, really!  Though I though the use of Kuchera ratios was perhaps not the best.  Still, that is a nice advisory-level event in these parts (warning level in some others).

QPF 0.3 for IAD and 0.46 for DCA. 

Apply your own snow ratios...

   Thank you.   The Kuchera drives me nuts.  It always feels like this is 10:1

  and this is the same case with Kuchera:

Actually, in all seriousness, I don't even know what method is used to compute the Kuchera ratios.  Maybe it's good in some situations, but I've heard so many mixed things about it.  Seems almost better to show 10:1 and go from there, fudge as needed.
