From @griteater

They are 6 hour time period maps... not total event snowfall maps

Updated portion of the LWX AFD after the watches issued

06z GFS says it's still lightly snowing at 12z THUR in N VA into MD

06z RGEM... good move SE with the snow accums compared to 00z

@psuhoffman @MillvilleWx I'd take the 06z RGEM and run

LWX morning disco... mentions FZRA and IP as well

RLX just put up WSWatches for their eastern counties

Even the SNE mets were tossing it lol

I'd take 3 to 6 after last winter... your map looks good... though I'm closer to the 6 inch line after moving lol

Thank you @MillvilleWx for taking the time for that outstanding post

Looks like the HP is slightly further west at 48 on 00z... yes?

CCB is noice on the 00z CMC at 72... mauling everyone I95 and west

If thats where it was at 84 then yes I believe so

00z GGEM at 72 has 1039mb HP in Quebec with 1003mb SLP offshore Ocean City

The entire column is below zero till last 50 meters... will be fine IMO. But we'll just have to wait and see and agree to disagree

Still lightly snowing at DCA at 81 looks like

Did we check the soil temperatures?

1038mb HP at 60... -SN breaking out in SW VA... ice in W and C NC
