Will this one bring the true "flash freeze?"

Not sure if you're being serious, but it runs ne/sw in the mid-Atlantic, so you can totally be north of it. 

Not in Virginia, but I was being only quasi-snarky.

it could drop 8-12 inches of snow at least north of I-95. 

A lot of things have to go right. But then they all did last weekend. 

95 runs north to south 

LWX has it as a Code Yellow (Slight) for everyone west of 95.

The good stuff isn't coming for a couple more hours...

Can you link me to the model you're using?  Thanks.

Any reports from the Winchester crew?  Band looks to be expanding pretty far west....

It's snowing nicely in Warren and Page counties.

Eyes are turned toward the moderate/heavy forming in Orange County.  More bubbling in southern Stafford, too.

I haven’t looked.  Is the NAM still on crack? 

Only 13 more inches to go.

New dry slot forming near Harrisonburg?

Grew up in the Valley. Not a dry slot, the radar shadow caused by Bull Run Mountain.

I’m under it in Mt Vernon.  Not impressed yet. 

Just kidding. Better now.

 Nice death band setting up .  Alexandria south. 

I’m under it in Mt Vernon.  Not impressed yet. 

Out with the plow crews at Mt Vernon. Still waiting for appreciable flakes. 

Advisories in the immediate metro.

Watches are replaced with Warnings, plus one county north.

Zoomed in GFS snowmap for the DC and close in suburbs people.  I’d be completely happy with this.  

What’s with the 6 in Stafford?

Could convection (like those NC thunderstorms) rob the northern precipitation?  I recall this happening before.  Is that a possibility with this storm?

LWX also modified how they will do the Winter Weather Outlook for the week... interesting dividing lines.

The Shenandoah Valley in me also resents being named the "Piedmont."

WTOP ignored it though... recorded weather reports. No mention by traffic nor anchors. 

When is storm mode?  What is all this mess?

First warnings along Allegheny Front.  Mineral, Grant, Allegany, Hampshire, and a sliver of Hardy warned.

Things blowing up in central Fairfax too. 

And now warned into DC and PG

Things blowing up in central Fairfax too.
