I think the only possible chance of a miracle is for things to slow down enough that the trof amplifies quite a bit in the midwest. The upper energy can bomb and hopefully shunt more east than ENE. I'm not sure if we'd really gain much though and most locals would have to deal with a light mix/sdry slot until the dynamics approach.

but I think that's the only plausible change....then we roll the dice with dynamics.

Something like this, but deeper as it passes through WV:

We will rally. We always do. We're Mid Atlantic folk. We will ENJOY our misery. We've seen worse. As we sit here tonight and even tomorrow, hoping for the miracle that won't come, we'll still enjoy every flake falling from the sky tomorrow afternoon. It's not the jackpot, but its something. Come on gang, enjoy your .20 of QPF.

As you well know from being a DC lifer, winters aren't winters unless we have some of these events. It's part of us...its in our blood.

I'm honestly happy I'll be in meetings with little to no internet access all day tomorrow. Maybe I'll walk out to a little surprise snowfall at 5:00 and then struggle to drive the 18 miles home in less than two hours.

egads... aint that the truth! Last time we had a lil snow it took me 2 1/2 hours to go what typically takes 30 minutes..

I sure hope whatever falls holds off till evening at the earliest. I am between Westminster and Bethesda tomorrow probably get out by midafternoon and the trip from Bethesda back home is trying enough in good weather.

Consider me in the opposite camp. I hope whatever falls starts sticking around 3 p.m. followed by a flash freeze at 4:30 p.m., leading to massive gridlock from Springfield Virginia to Frederick. I hope a trip from DC to Columbia takes 4 hours, a process made slower by abandoned vehicles unable to make it up a hill on Route 29... . Sorry, but if we are only going to get 2 or 3 inches, at least we can hope its a memorable 2 or 3 inches.Snowman.gif

Although seems like the 12 and 0z Nam runs are juicier then the 6 and 18z runs. So hopefully it's wetter and the low is tucked closer to the coast on tonights run. Pretty much need a miracle, but why not after all the crap the mid Atlantic has been through so far this winter.

base of the trough seems a bit further south, which to me is the most important part if I had to choose

i guess tho it seemed like the center ended up further north on the 18z runs.. the changes are minimal at this pt. i sorta think we need the interior low a little to create the snow shield anyway. tho that is admittedly along my fringe of knowledge of the subject.
