Feeling a lot better at staving off a prolonged period of sleet.  NAM was the only one perilously close.  Now watch the other models start pinging DC....

3k gets us close. It would at least imply maybe some brief mixing, but yeah mostly cold smoke I havent looked at details.

You know, I'm not the smartest person in this thread weather-wise, so someone explain to me how I (and anyone S to SW) of the 540 line running from Dover to Martinsburg to Pittsburgh is shown as all snow with that low placement in north-central WV and a non-dominating high over the northeast to keep CAD going? I know 540 isn't everything, but it is something. I won't complain if it happens, just don't understand what it is seeing.

Late to reply to this, but typically if a primary that strong reaches Clarksburg, I mix here.  And that’s with a high reinforcing the wedge.

But this is a very deep, cold air mass and the storm is driving into it almost as soon as it settles in.  Stiff northwest winds will still be filtering in during the day tomorrow with precip arriving not long after, so I’m hoping this time it works.

Yup. This definitely makes me more comfortable going in. We’ve all seen the NAM pull some shit on us in the past, but it’s just good to see it start to at least think about joining the general consensus.

Will the storm end like this verbatim? Not a chance, but unless the globals reverse course tonight, this is going to make my sleep that much sweeter.

3k says the lead band that enters the area from 3-6z is driven by the 700mb fgen. Then it moves north and weakens as the 850mb fgen arrives 12-15z over mostly the same area. Hence you don’t get two areas with local maxima in snow totals but one broad swath.
