I'm worried about the Penguins winning

Probably tomorrow morning in the 4am package if there are any

Don't bother with the 12z CMC unless you are in W MD

Ugh, management just texted me saying what's this about snow on Sunday...

Please sir, I want some more

I'd love another WSW storm... but I'm fine with another 2" at the least

If I'm guessing the scale right... pink is 0.5"+

Sort of falls apart after... but still some snow

426am AFD from LWX A relative lull is expected Saturday late afternoon and evening as the initial Arctic front pushes to the east and a wave of surface low pressure goes with it, at least outside of the mountains, where snow looks to continue. A second wave of low pressure will take shape over the TN Valley, which will become our Sunday winter storm. Precipitation chances continue to increase on Sunday with guidance trending towards a snowier solution areawide. At least a light accumulating snowfall is becoming increasingly likely across most of the forecast area as a fast-moving, yet potent, low pressure system slides by to our south. The arctic front Saturday will have ushered in sub-freezing air to much of the region by the time of precipitation onset. There may be some thermal issues towards southern MD and the VA Piedmont, but for the most part, looks like an all snow event for many. Initial forecast amounts are in the 1 to 3 inch range in those areas where thermal issues may exist at the onset, with 3 to 4 inches seems most likely along and north of I-66/US-50. The upslope areas will of course see substantially more, and over a bit of a longer timeframe. For most, this system will be very quick-moving, lasting around 6 to 12 hours or so.

Will folks want to pay attention?

I guess I wasn't thinking when i posted that I liked hr 69 on the 18z GFS

I like the look at 69

18z ICON was going to be even more suppressed lol.

18z ICON did make a noticeable shift NW though in its QPF field compared to 12z

RGEM steadfast though... unfortunately you have to be NW of i81 corridor

Better west of BR

Road trip?

Well if you call 6" for DC metro scraping lol... but I get where you are going

It has a 1005mb SLP SE of HSE at 144

Was 30 to 50 percent on the 4am SPS...
