What's odd to me is that looks suspiciously like a Miller A type storm on the 00z GFS for day 8 into day 9...
ETA -- 00z CMC has the same idea.. but its too warm for everyone and track is along the coast
I'll take the 4 hours or so of snow the 00z RGEM shows at the end of its run... nice 1-3" swath across N VA/DC/BWI/S MD
This would be early Wed morning FWIW
At least... for now... we have gotten snow within Day 7 on both the 00z EURO and the 06z GFS. Both models suggest for now that the heavier snowfall amounts will be down in C and S VA.
