FYI re NBM

The NBM is time lagged. If there is a notable pattern change in the guidance and even a trend then the NBM will take time to catch up. Closer in time, the NBM incorporates the high resolution guidance which can lead to a noticeable change in the output. 
 

More info about the NBM is available here:

Snowing moderately at 15z.  Thermals not even close to worrisome so far.   Nothing like GFS

DC would do better if you had slightly worse thermals honestly. You aren't getting the really hefty slug of QPF driven into the area near the warmer sector. Rates are a big part of the fun of course.

Good run, zero thermal issues.  All snow on the Euro

How is it looking for areas north west of Roanoke close to the WV boarder? Been riding that snow mix line.

He didn't say that we were in the best possible place.

I'm glad somebody understood what I was saying.   Do we really want to be in the best spot at 72 hours?   I like where we are now because we're in the middle of the spray.   Even so, I'd take the Euro in a heartbeat verbatim.   Give me a solid warning criteria event vs gambling with sleet/dry slot issues.

The Euro is about .45-.5 QPF for us with temps 24-25.  That's a very nice event for us in metro DC.  And yeah it gives us room for the inevitable creep northward between now and Sunday.

Ok, when it does the inevitable 100 mile shift north, remember my statement and yours.

ill take my chances with 1.30 of warmer liquid than .45 of colder

Perfect, we want that right there where it is now
