What causes the storm to get captured and stall?

At what point would we expect consensus on where the ccb will setup?  

Given the euro/cmc/ukmet depiction and this potentially being a long duration event, is the DC area likely to be shut down for several days?  Trying to put together contingency plans for the kids.

Euro is a significant event for the mountains of western MD.  Cumberland gets over 6” of snow.  Garrett basically stays below freezing the whole event except for an hour or two after midnight as temps really crash.

How much snow does Garrett county get?  It is hard to tell on these maps how the mountains in Garrett county are affected.

Orientation of the TPV slightly different on the 6z than 00z which allows for height rises along the EC, hence a "warmer" solution.  Something to pay attention to today for the mountains/81/north crew.

Can you explain this in more detail.
