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....

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.

Is that the 3km or 12km NAM?  (or are they both similar...too lazy to go look myself if someone already has these!)

That’s 12k. 

this is 3k (not done snowing yet)IMG_7101.thumb.png.7dcffbb8faf915f17bb5b38c2353bf80.png

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.

People here are going to sweat the dry slot.  But this 500mb passage is pretty sick.  It will be like a 4 hour lull maybe.  HODL

Noon on monday the ull is still in KY

We accumulate snow, lightly, at every time step until midnight thanks to the influence of the 500 low.

Jan 2019 seems the closest, at least that I can think of. 

That was an over-performer for sure in the metro DC area...though I don't think it was as good for areas up toward BWI and north, whereas this one looks better relatively speaking.  I also recall LWX went 8-12" in the metro DC area which at first seemed really aggressive but ended up spot-on.
