Very interesting to see the maximums differ so much between the GFS and Euro. GFS has it over MD while the Euro has it south of D.C. and both have shown those solutions consistently.

Yeah it’s very hard for me to buy the warmer solutions when the euro/uk say it’s 24 degrees in dc and snowing with a jack south.

Better ratios up N and also some coastal love for NEMD and DE. Solid snow all around for the entire metro & surrounding areas, but as I’ve said for days, I’d be pretty surprised if DC south sees more snow than Columbia Baltimore Bel Air etc. This storm has central MD written all over it. Models have been waffling 50-75 miles here and there, which is to be expected and is still remarkable accuracy 3-5 days out, but our climo rarely fails to tell the story at the end of the day, especially at the front end of a cold pattern. 90+% of us will see warning level snowfall. About the best we could ask for to kick off a potentially epic January.

Well, from this 18z forecast today and when the first flakes are supposed to start falling, it's 2.5 days. So from that perspective, it is certainly possible.

Possible yes, but maybe not most likely.  If the euro and uk start creeping towards that I’ll buy it. 

Fair point, but Euro did come north at 12z from its 6z run, so it may have already reached bottom and is on its way back. Idk. I guess we'll see shortly. Lol

What’s your point it shows DC getting 9” of snow.  Y’all will complain about everything. Sure this run give me like 10” but as long as I get like 4-6” I’d be happy. 

You do realize a solid chunk of this subforum lives south of DC, right? You're responding to those people.

I get 2" of snow and then frozen slop for 12 hrs.

Better than 33 deg rain or being too far north for anything. Be nice if it was a more widespread system but at least it’s more than we have had to really track in years.

GTFOH with that crap. 

There would likely be a significant period of non-snow ptype on the GFS from DC south and east, plus a dry slot. DC isn't getting 9 with that evolution. But go ahead and take the model output verbatim.

my point is the people complaining are not forecast to get anywhere close to 9", so give us a break!
