You don't need frozen ground for snow to accumulate very quickly. 

That said, the potential for meh rates on this one - at least north of DC - could definitely make the OTG totals less impressive overall.

Yeah I know, hence me comment about rates.  Hopefully they're high enough to quickly overcome it.  I've been down here for 20yrs now and have read this book enough times to anchor my expectations on the low end this late in the season.

Iow, this one ain't ours unless the Nams are correct.

Probably not, but you're assuming there is no 50 miles north jump the last 24 hours as we've seen a couple times this season.  Or that there isn't some surprise not surprise banding on the northern fringe that puts down 5" with barely and QPF as we've seen at times...then if we tack on 2-3" of snow/sleet from wave 2 suddenly we had a really nice event.  And those things are not crazy impossible.  But yes if I had to put money on it the most likely outcome is we get fringed with 2" from the first wave and 1" of slop from the second and its not a fun time for us.

I know I';m gonna be annoyed with the daytime stuff.  Conn Ave is going to take forever to cave.  And that puts me on tilt.  

Gotta get out of that concrete jungle and get into some forest. Come on out to Crownsville and do some hiking. Its usually pretty cold here. The trees should start looking nice. Ive also got some nice trees lol

25-30 hours out and tools still spitting out 3-11”. 

it's not that bad i think the envelope is pretty small honestly but as always there is one model that is an outlier and there are also a group of pessimists who are leaning heavily on the outlier or working super hard to talk about sun angle and ground temps etc. It's annoying if i'm being honest

Even if we take out the most bullish outlier, it wouldn't change the forecast for our area.

I would imagine they wait for the 12z Euro before upgrading anything.

I was expecting them to do it in the morning shift, but I guess afternoon is still technically ~24hr before. 

The models seem to be jumping around more now than ever (with the details anyways) - GEM has 3.5 for LoCo and SREFs have 5.6 (which are usually pretty conservative) - the big models have up to 8+, but I don't think that's counting the mixing/melting.

I think LWX stays 4-6 with WSW, but it's probably going to be a bust for a lot of people who get all excited over the warning.  Likewise this might throw the school systems for a loop when they see WSW in a few hours, followed by a semi-bustola during the event.

This is pretty locked in. Not worth putting much weight on the SREFs or GEM output

Am I looking at the right thing?  Seems like everybody took a bit of a haircut on the accum map?  Maybe it's the shitty SV maps or I'm just ditzy 

Looks like it removed all the double digit accums, and the rest is usual noise. It's a hold, I think
