Crazy Uncle looks like it smoked the good stuff at 12z. The ptype shows snow way down SW of DC at 18z. Way different look. Would be much snowier. -

CMC looks nice and thumpy. 8 inches for DC and a foot for the favored spots NW. -

When does the GFS fold like a cheap suit and show 4 inches for dc? 18z or 0z? -

06z run, it's kinda the boom scenario model for us right now. Big dumping of heavy snow before the transition. -

RGEM is a pummeling, it's 1.4 QPF by 18z for DC with 0.7 falling in the 3 hour period 15z-18z. If we can get that kinda death band right before the change we could def get double digits in the metros. -

Yeah I think it’s just the ptype algorithm from the vendor, no meteorologists are forecasting much IP for dc. -

People here in dc are so confused, my co worker INSISTS Richmond is getting two feet. People here think we’re getting 12-18 inches in dc. -

Most of our mixing events over the years are snow to sleet to rain to 40+ degrees. This is a pretty cool and unique event with a very anomalous arctic airmass. The fact that plain rain isn’t even in the discussion is cool. Even if we “only” get 4-5 inches in dc and then ice and then arctic cold it’s still going to be awesome. True deep winter stuff coming. -

I think that’s just the vendor ptype algorithm. I wouldn’t take it too seriously. NWS hasn’t even mentioned big ice potential for our area. -

6 inches to ice would be a very high impact and memorable event for the 95 corridor. Enjoy it! -

I think now we can basically lock in mixing at least up to the M/D line and now we just hope the mesos hammer us with the thump. Hopefully the RGEM over the NAM is correct. -

Looks like noise level stuff. Same general idea all over. -

NAM is only 0.4 qpf for dc pre flip, ive learned that when the NAM shows a mixing related disaster scenario, take it seriously. Not saying its gonna happen, hopefully its still figuring out the Synoptics, but don’t write it off. -

For dc Euro looks like about 0.8 qpf as snow, and then 0.6 qpf as sleet. 6-10 of snow and a thick layer of sleet, that’ll be a high impact event if it verifies.
