	Walt - looking at the radar and surface reports right now - is this event going as planned ?
 - 
	Ok - I didn't know they start the advisory several hours before the flakes start flying...
 - 
	then why did they start the Winter Weather Advisory at 3 PM ? Look at the radar.... its 1:30 already
 - 
	This storm event is already busting as the NWS prediction of a chance of snow this afternoon doesn't seem like it has a chance according to surface reports and the radar with not much on it
 - 
	Euro gives Virginia the heavier snow mid- week here possibly some light snow probably imitating all the other events this winter with amounts in the Metro
 - 
	you think there will be anything left on the ground before the next possible event mid-week ?
 - 
	are you trying to use the GFS as a mesoscale model so close to the event? and comparing it to the other mesoscales?
 - 
	so which model do you believe ? They all have differences of opinions = shows not to trust any of them as of now IMO.....watch the radar trends...observe surface reports OBS and upper level OBS
 - 
	agreed but the truth is- "It ain't over till its over" - nowcasting event for sure starting now........
 - 
	Don are you keeping track of how the models are actually performing so far to our south and west ?
 - 
	its nowcasting time - keep your eyes on the ball - monitor radar trends and various surface and upper level guidance - watching the models now arguing with each other so close to tonights event will lead you down the wrong road - as of 9:30 AM radar shows precip moving west to east across northern VA and southern delmarva back through Kentucky with little northward progression yet - frozen line is far south too across southern delmarva
 - 
	Northern Middlesex County north of the Raritan can have several inches of snow and southern Middlesex County can have next to nothing but they are considered 1 forecast zone...........
 - 
	That west to east banding across central NJ reminds me of what happened last Feb 16 -17 storm......
 - 
	agreed - this is an interesting event with watches for many - maybe should put strict limits of number of posts allowed daily for new members and everyone should only be allowed a certain number of posts a day.........so they don't hog the forum take a look at their total number of posts and see who is way over the average number considering how long they have been here
 - 
	Upton is going all in on this weekend event - posted there is still a chance of warning level 6 inch snows in NYC Facebook
 - 
	Never trust the 18Z GFS OP or when the GFS has big changes from one run to the next.......lets see if the GEFS agrees with the OP
 - 
	true - BUT its still early and a very complicated set up with multiple storms playing off one another influencing the next one and so on........and questions regarding strength and position of the HP's very critical IMO - also the configuration of the jet stream during all of this
